Controlling the rates of transcription and translation is important in bacteria to avoid collisions between ribosomes and rna po

lymerases. calculate what the maximum rate of translation by a ribosome in a bacterial cell would have to be, in units of amino acids per second, so as not to overtake an rna polymerase that is transcribing mrna at a rate of 60 nucleotides per second.

The right answer is 20 aminoacids per second.

Transcription is a mechanism for synthesizing RNA from DNA.

Translation is a mechanism for synthesizing a polypeptide sequence from mRNA by converting the nucleotide triplet (codons) to amino acids.

So if one amino acid corresponds to three nucleotides. The polypeptide synthesis rate should be 20 amino acids per second for 60 nucleotides per second.

3 nucleotides ==> 1 amino acid

60 nucleotides ==> 60/3 = 20 amino acids.

Consider the following food chain: garden plants are eaten by snails, which are eaten by birds, which are eaten by the household
SIZIF [17.4K]
The garden plants and snails stay balanced as they are still being eaten. However, if the cat is removed, the birds will overpopulate and then the snail would be eaten and decrease faster which gives garden plants an increase in population due to the decrease in snails. Hope this helps!

Of the following choices, what is the approximate LD50 of the least toxic substance? 20 mg/kg, 70 mg/kg, or 130 mg/kg
pychu [463]

The approximate LD50 of the least toxic substance will be 130 mg/Kg.

  • The dose necessary to cause the death of 50% of a population under test after a predetermined test period is known as the LD50 value for a drug.
  • Commonly used as a broad indicator of a substance's acute toxicity are LD50 values.
  • Greater toxicity is indicated by a lower LD50. A low LD50 of 500 mg/kg or less implies severe toxicity.
  • Moderate toxicity is indicated by an LD50 of 500 to 1,000 mg/kg. A modest toxicity level of 1,000 to 2,000 mg/kg is indicated.
  • The species is especially vulnerable to the poison if the LD50 is low. The lethal dose (LD50) of a specific poison might change significantly between several animal species.
  • Thus out of all the options, LD50 130 mg/kg will have the lowest toxicity and 20 mg/kg will be the highest.
