This statement is true.

Fertilizer runoff can cause an excess of nutrients in the water. The excess of nutrients can cause blooms of algae and phytoplankton. The growth of algae and phytoplankton is limited by the availability of the nutrients in the water, and with the influx of fertilizer they bloom uncontrollably. The bacteria that degrade these algae and phytoplankton can use all of the oxygen in the water while they degrade the dead organisms and create dead zones in the oceans.

A certain bacterial mRNA is known to represent only one gene and to contain about
Brut [27]

Answer:

C) 30,000

Explanation:

According to the given information, the bacterial mRNA consists of about 800 nucleotides. Three consecutive nucleotides together make one genetic codon which in turn codes for one specific amino acid in the protein encoded by this mRNA.  

So, an mRNA with 800 nucleotides will have total 800/3 = 266.67 or 266 genetic codes. The protein encoded by this mRNA would have a total of 266 amino acids.  

Given that one amino acid imparts 110 units to the molecular weight of the protein, the protein with 266 amino acids have the molecular weight= 266 x 110 = 29260, that is about 30,000.
