What is a chromosome? ( In simple terms please)

Biology

ratelena [41]3 years ago

Well the definition in an actual dictionary or scientific book is quite confusing, so to put it simply:
A chromosome is a DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material of an organism.

If that makes any sense.
That’s really as simple as I know it.
Chromosomes are complex, so a simple definition doesn’t come easy.
Happy to help!

-why is respiration important for a cell?
Grace [21]
Respiration is how animal cells get their energy to preform their necessary functions. Plant cells don't use respiration, because they use photosynthesis. Photosynthesis turns light into energy.

Tid-bit of info:
Cellular Respiration Formula:
Sugar + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water <span>+ ATP </span>
C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ = CO₂ + H₂O <span>+ ATP </span>
Photosynthesis Formula: 
Sunlight + Water + Carbon Dioxide = Oxygen + Sugar
Sunlight + H₂O + CO₂ = O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

A single codon is used to signal the beginning of protein synthesis. It is commonly called the START CODON. Locate the start cod
Artemon [7]

About the question:

You will find the chart in the attached files

Answer:

The strat codon is AUG  

Explanation:

Genetic information for the aminoacids assembly during the protein synthesis is stored in short sequences of three nucleotides named <em>codons </em>in the mRNA. Each of the codons represents one of the 20 amino acids used to build the protein. The total number of possible codons is 64, from which 61 codify amino acids -more than one codon codify for the same amino acid-. One of these amino acids is also the start point of protein synthesis. And the left three codons are stopping translation points.

The codons indicating the initiation or stop points during the translation process are:

  • The start codon AUG is the most common sequence used by eukaryotic cells and places near the 5´extreme of the molecule. However, other codons might be used as well. Prokaryote cells might use the codons GUG or UUG.
  • The end codons are UAA, UAG, UGA.
