Answer:

Yes if we know an amino acid sequence present in an mRNA we can figure out the DNA for that sequence. As the amino acid sequence are triplet codon present on an mRNA strand so the sequence that is complementary of the triplet codon would be present in the DNA.

For example, one amino acid sequence is AUG so the complementary sequence in the DNA for this amino acid sequence would be TAC. So in place of uracil adenine come in DNA.  

Therefore by complementary base pairing of the amino acid sequence, we can find out the DNA for that sequence.

Which of the following hormones is not produced by the anterior pituitary?
Anarel [89]

Answer:

oxytocin

Explanation:

The pituitary gland is a small gland that divides into two distinct portions, the anterior and posterior lobes, and is located at the base of the brain.

The anterior pituitary, also known as the adenohypophysis, secretes six important peptide hormones, they are:

  • The growth hormone;
  • Adrenocorticotropin;
  • The thyroid stimulating hormone;
  • Prolactin;
  • Two gonadotropic homons - FSH and LH;

Oxytocin is not a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary but by the posterior pituitary, which is known as the neurohypophysis.
