amino acid and RNA (or anticodon)

tRNA is used in the process of translation, which is when cells create a protein (polypeptide) from a strand of mRNA just came from the nucleus and is floating in the cytoplasm. This process occurs with the help of ribosomes!

A ribosome binds to an mRNA molecule, and tRNA's come swooping in one at a time to add amino acids to a growing polypeptide chain (protein).

On one end of the tRNA is a set of 3 RNA bases (called an anticodon), that binds perfectly to the opposing next 3 bases on the mRNA strand (called a codon) as it works it way through the ribosome. On the other side of the tRNA is the amino acid that the codon on the mRNA codes for, thus allowing the specific protein to grow 1 amino acid at a time.

What does messenger RNA do during protein synthesis?

kap26 [50]

Answer:

The correct answer is A copies the coded message from the DNA to cytoplasm .

Explanation:

mRNA plays a significant role during protein synthesis .mRNA also called messenger RNA contain codons which inturn contains the genetic information that comes from DNA.

mRNA is synthesized inside the nucleus during transcription but when that mRNA is transported into the cytoplasm for translation it carries the coded message or information from DNA of nucleus to the cytoplasm.

You can physically see the ____ of a trait, but not the ____ .

Nina [5.8K]

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is -

1.) A. Phenotype

B. Genotype

Phenotype corresponds to the physical appearance of a particular characteristic or morphological form in an individual.

Example - Hair color, plant height, skin color.

On the other hand, genotype corresponds to the genetic makeup of an individual. It is depicted by the gene that is present in the individual organism. Example- Genotype for dwarf height in pea plant is 'tt', which carries both recessive gene variants.

Thus, we can physically see the phenotype of a trait, but not the genotype.

5. List three mechanisms by which Earth's albedo can be increased.

KIM [24]

Explanation:

1. A decrease in the number of greenhouse gases that humans produce will result in lowered global temperatures. This will allow the ice sheets in the polar regions to increase increasing also albedo.

2. Using light-colored building materials on houses and pavement in urban centers will work towards increasing albedo as more sunlight is refelcted back by built environments.

3. Decreased deforestation/increase in aforestation increases the earth’s sirface albedo because vegetation reflects back more sunlight than the earth’s bare surface.
