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.

In the figure showing gene expression , what should replace label b ?
xz_007 [3.2K]

The correct answer is C. Translation.

The given figure is the scheme of the gene expression. It provides the flow of genetic information from a DNA sequence to a protein synthesis inside cells. This process of flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA is called transcription and the process of flow of genetic information from RNA to protein is called translation.

Thus in given figure label A is to be replaced by transcription and label B is to replace by translation.

What are all biochemical processes of an organism ?
Arturiano [62]
Biochemistry, sometimes called biological chemistry, is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. By controlling information flow through biochemical signaling and the flow of chemical energy through metabolism<span>, biochemical processes give rise to the complexity of life.

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Free Ribosomes

Explanation:

This is produced by the free ribosomes in the Cystosol ( thst is  bounded by membrane,not attached to the endoplasmic reticulum), They are concerned with the synthesis of  proteins to be used within the cystosol  that is not to be exported out of the cells.

Hexokinase produced is important in glycolysis because it phosphorylated glucose to glucose -6-phosphate, increases its polarity  thus reduced the  metabolic process within the cell   preventing glucose  from leaving the cell( due to increase polarity which is restricted by the cell ,membrane.) thereby increasing the efficiency of process of Glycolysis.
