The nucleotide sequence would have to have 900 nucleotides in order to code for a protein of 300 amino acids. When translating RNA into proteins, RNA is read 3 bases at a time. Each group of 3 bases is a codon, and each codon codes for an amino acid. When read, the proper amino acid is added to a growing chain of amino acids, which will be folded to become a protein.

Therefore, 300 amino acids * 3 nucleotides per amino acid = 900 nucleotides.

What makes stem cells so important in medical research
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer: Pretty much every aspect of them

Stem cells have unique regenerative abilities which can be used for treating diseases and disabilities (from diabetes to MS). They can also be used to graph skin from burns etc. The stem cell science world seems to leave so many options open for discoveries and they have less negative side effects in comparison to the chemical treatments available or soon to become available. Stem cells can heal rather than pharma therapies covering the ailment and leading to other issues.

What happens during S Phase?
vampirchik [111]
S phase is the DNA synthesis phase. During this portion of the cell cycle, the cell replicates its entire complement of DNA. It also forms the centrosome, which is the microtubule-organizing center that will eventually help the cell pull apart the DNA that will be divided between daughter cells.
