The amino acids<span> in a protein are bonded to </span>each other<span> with peptide bonds - hence the term for a polymer of </span>amino acids<span> is a polypeptide. There are 20 </span>different amino acids<span>, and they all share the same general </span>structure<span>. In the centre of the </span>amino acid<span>is an assymetric carbon atom called the alpha carbon. I hope that you have a good day and i hope this helps you out

What is true about translation? Choose ALL that apply.
Licemer1 [7]

<u>In the process of translation, the statement stands correct and applies are as follows:</u>

  • The ribosome has two sub-units that work together.
  • Amino acids are joined by peptide bonds.
  • Each tRNA brings in exactly one amino acid that corresponds to the anti-codon.
  • The order of the amino acids is determined by the mRNA which is transcribed from DNA.

Answer: Options A, B, C, and E

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the process of translation, ribosomes are the structural unit where the translation is being performed and it has the two sub-units which enact together the translational process.

Any two amino acids are bonded together by peptide bond and tRNA brings one amino acid at a time which corresponds to the anti codon. The order of amino acids is determined by mRNA transcribed from the DNA, and not from the ribosome. Thereby, all given options are correct except the option D.

What will happen to a population of predators if there is a sudden increased in food for the prey
Umnica [9.8K]
At first, the population of predators would spike and increase quickly, but then over time, gradually decrease.

(This is because at first there's more food, so the predators population increases. But overtime it begins to level out and the predators' population catches up with the prey, and in result, doesn't continue increasing.)
