<span>Take an anticodon, which is simply a three nucleotide base sequence on the tRNA. An anticodon can only carry one amino acid on it, and it has 3 nucleotides. So, take three anticodons, and how many nucleotides do you get? 9! And since an anticodon has 3 nucleotides, and since an anticodon can only have one amino acid riding on it, there must be three anticodons for three amino acids. So, then, a total of 9 nucleotides are needed.

So the answer is 9.</span>

Answer:

9 nucleotides

Explanation:

The Central Dogma of Molecular Biology follows a pattern of gene-mRNA-protein. The genetic material is stored as DNA, which contains the instructions needed for an organism to make useful products (proteins). The DNA molecule is a nucleic acid made up of nucleotide sequences (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine).

The information contained in the DNA needs to be expressed via the process of transcription and translation. The transcription involves copying the information in the DNA to an RNA molecule called messenger RNA (mRNA). The nucleotides in the mRNA are read during translation in a group of three called CODONS. A codon is a triplet nucleotide sequence in mRNA that specifies a particular amino acid (which makes up proteins).

Since a group of three (3) nucleotides (codon) specify one amino acid, it will take a group of nine (9) nucleotides or three codons to specify three amino acids.

Which membrane is composed of loose connective tissue and lines moveable joint cavities?
tangare [24]

Synovial membranes are connective tissue membranes that line the cavities of the freely movable joints such as the shoulder, elbow, and knee.

Membrane

A membrane is a selective barrier; it lets some items pass but prevents others from doing so. These entities could be ions, molecules, or other tiny particles. Biological and manufactured membranes are the two broad categories into which membranes can be placed. Cell membranes, which are the exterior coverings of cells or organelles that permit the passage of specific components, nuclear membranes, which enclose the cell nucleus, and tissue membranes like mucosae and serosae are all examples of biological membranes. Humans create synthetic membranes for use in laboratories and industries (such as chemical plants).

beginning and ending in the left atrium, describe the path that blood takes through your body and lungs
marissa [1.9K]

From the right atrium, the deoxygenated blood drains into the right ventricle through the right atrioventricular (AV) valve, which is so named because it is between the atrium and the ventricle. This valve is also referred to as the tricuspid valve because it has three flaps in its structure. When the ventricles contract, the AV valve closes off the opening between the ventricle and the atrium so that blood does not flow back up into the atrium.As the right ventricle contracts, it forces the deoxygenated blood through the pulmonary semilunar valve and into the pulmonary artery. Semilunar means half-moon and refers to the shape of the valve. Note that this is the only artery in the body that contains deoxygenated blood; all other arteries contain oxygenated blood. The semilunar valve keeps blood from flowing back into the right ventricle once it is in the pulmonary artery.The pulmonary artery carries the blood that is very low in oxygen to the lungs, where it becomes oxygenated. i hope this helps you
