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.

The cause of the phases of the moon is a cycle that is close to how long
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The lunar phases gradually change over the period of a synodic month (about 29.53 days), as the orbital positions of the Moon around Earth and of Earth around the Sun shift. The Moon's rotation is tidally locked by Earth's gravity; therefore, most of the same lunar side always faces Earth.

3) Farmer Brown grows corn for a living. One day, Farmer Green suggests to Farmer Brown that he should clone his best corn plant
Elden [556K]
The answer is C) Cloning eliminates the ability to sexually reproduce and provide genetic variability.
In the future, there is no variability in the genes in the clones given that they are the exact copies of the "parent" produce. All should be identical without differences and variations. Although Farmer Brown doesn't want this to happen that's is what he is reluctant to listen to Farmer Green's advice.

Soon after the island of hawaii rose above the sea surface (somewhat less than one million years ago), the evolution of life on
MrRa [10]
There are choices for this question namely:

<span>A) genetic bottleneck. 
B) sexual selection. 
C) habitat differentiation. 
D) founder effect.
</span>
The correct answer is founder effect. The definition of founder effect is the loss of genetic variation when a new population is established in a small number of individuals from a larger population. The larger population in the context is the ecosystem in Hawaii before it rose from the sea surface. After it rose above the sea surface, most organisms will not be able to survive in land but there will be a small population that can evolve from there.
