UAG and UAA are the other two stop codons.

Explanation:

In a mRNA sequence there are codons which represents the termination of polypeptide chain getting formed. Such triplet sequence which instead of coding for amino acids stops the chain is termed as stop codons.

The start and stop codons decide the length of the polypeptide chain or primary protein transcript or simply the whole protein molecule.

In the genetic code table there are 3 stop codons these are:

UAG

UAA

UGA

Mutation in any of these stop codons would cause the loss of protein function.

Once the stop codon sequence comes the protein synthesis stops.

When a scientist uses radiometric dating to determine the age of a rock specimen, would he use a radioactive element with a shor
xenn [34]

Answer:

He will use a radioactive element with a long half life of greater than 1 billion years

Explanation:

Rocks are an aggregation of solid mass which is usually rich in minerals. The age of rocks is established using radiometric dating method.

According to Oxford Dictionary, radiometric dating is "a method of dating geological specimens by determining the relative proportions of particular radioactive isotopes present in a sample."

The age of rocks can only be ascertained using isotopes that have very long half lives because many of these rocks are very old (aged billions of years) hence their age can only be determined using elements that has a half life greater than 1 billion years.
