Answer:

The question lacks options, the options are:

A. a polymer of arginine plus a polymer of alanine

B. the peptide Met–Arg–Ala–Arg–Ala…

C. a polymer of alanine: Ala–Ala–Ala…

D. a peptide containing alternating arginines and alanines

E. a polymer of arginine: Arg–Arg–Arg…

The answer is D

Explanation:

Translation is the second process of protein synthesis (gene expression) where the mRNA molecule produced during transcription is used as a template for the synthesis of amino acid sequences, which species a particular polypeptide.

The nucleotides in the mRNA are read in a group of three in the ribosome. This triplet nucleotide is called CODON. Each codon specifies a particular amino acid and a collection of all codons constitutes the GENETIC CODE. Hence, in a case where dinucleotide CG is repeated in a sequence. The sequence will read:

CGC GCG CGC GCG CGC GCG..........

In the genetic code, codon CGC and GCG codes for arginine and alanine amino acids respectively. Therefore, if the CG dinucleotide keeps repeating, the nucleotides will be read three at a time, and the amino acid sequence will alternate between those two amino acids (Arginine and Alanine).

So we would have a peptide sequence looking like:

Arg-Ala-Arg-Ala-Arg-Ala-Arg...........

Which of the following statements is false? - DNA polymerase joins nucleotides in one direction only. - The leading strand of DN
stiv31 [10]

DNA replication proceeds in one direction around the bacterial chromosome.

Explanation:

Replication of DNA is preserved across most of life. Therefore, even bacteria DNA replication occurs bidirectionally. During replication of DNA, A primer is required in the initiation complex before DNA polymersae can begin replication. This is because this enzyme works by adding DNA nucleotides at the 3’ end of an existing strand. DNA can have several replication forks on one double strand in which replication occurs. For every fork, there is a leading strand whereby the replication process by DNA polymerase is continuous and the lagging strand whereby the replication is done in bits by the same polymerase enzymes. The lagging strand will, therefore, require many primers. This is becaue strands of DNA are antiparallel yet the DNA polymerase has to move in one direction. Since replication can only occur in the 5’⇒3’ direction, the antiparallel strand will be done in 5’⇒3’ chunks that will later be joined into one strand.

Answer asap will give brain thing
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

1. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek made the first microscope and used it to look at bacteria and study bacteria, and Robert Hooke studied cells and saw cavities in the cells that looked like small boxes - he discovered plant cells! he recognized cells as the basic unit of life, a basis for Cell Theory.

2. cell theory is: every living organism is made of one or more cells, cells are the smallest units of life ( that have the properties of a living thing), All cells come from other cells  - all living things come from other living things. This relates to every living thing because all living things come under cell theory - like all living things are made of cells

3. prokaryotes, like bacteria, doesn't have a nucleus covered in a membrane. a eukaryotic cell, like an animal cell, has a membrane covered nucleus. just like the nucleus, in eukaryotes the organelles are not membrane bound. in prokaryotes, the organelles are membrane bound. In prokaryotes the DNA form is circular, while the DNA form in eukaryotes is linear. there are more, but i couldn't list them.

4. Example for prokaryote: the famous (or infamous) E. Coli bacterium. example for eukaryote: Humans!

5. Single-celled organisms (unicellular organisms) have all the functions necessary for their survival in the single cell. Multicellular organisms (many celled organisms), however, need many cells to survive and carry out all the functions necessary for their survival and do the different tasks each cell is supposed to do.

I hope this helped, please do correct me if I am wrong!
