Answer:
9 amino acids
Explanation:
A segment of a gene that has 27 nucleotides will code for<u> 9 amino acids.</u>
<em>Each codon on the gene potentially represents an amino acid and a codon is made up of 3 nucleotides each. Hence, in order to find out the total number of amino acids that a gene segment with 27 nucleotides can code for, the number of nucleotides should be divided by 3.</em>
number of amino acids = number of nucleotides/3
27/3 = 9 codons/amino acids
G0 phase cells
The mitotic cycle of somatic, or body, cells is responsible for the production of copies of those cells. The mitotic cycle has different phases, each of which involves a different set of physiological changes to the cell. The G0 phase is described as the resting phase of a cell, where no activities relating to cell division are taking place. G0 phase cells remain in this phase their entire lives, so they do not divide. Another example of such a cell is found in red blood cells.
