Answer:

Option A, the code is triplet

Explanation:

Complete question

When scientists were attempting to determine the structure of the genetic code, Crick and coworkers found that when three base additions or three base deletions occurred in a single gene, the wild-type phenotype was sometimes restored. These data supported the hypothesis that ________.

A) the code is triplet

B) the code contains internal punctuation

C) AUG is the initiating triplet

D) the code is overlapping

E) there are three amino acids per base

Solution

The team of Francis Crick was the first one to determine the length of the codon in 1961 by using a T4 bacteriophage. Through an assay, they devised the properties of genetic code and introduced frame shift mutation. So during the initial stage of experiment, only one single frame shift was introduced with in the viral protein of E. coli bacteria thereby making the protein nonfunctional. They then introduced an additional frame shift to restore the protein structure so that its function could be restored. This experiment was successful and concluded with a finding that genetic code is based on multiple of three bases

Masteriza [31]

With the sequence of the gene-coding regions of the human genome in hand and the development of newer sequencing methods, scientists are able to

1. develop new forensic tests that can help in the identification of the convict.

2. diagnose genetic diseases before their onset.

3. develop customised medicines based on the genetic profile of the patient.

4. therapeutically target the cancer causing genes (oncogenes) in the patients.

5. understand the inheritance of genes especially the rare mutations in a population.

Which change would most likely occur if this rock became buried deep within Earth’s crust and was subjected to intense heat and
vitfil [10]
Does you question have the following choices?

A) The density of the pebbles and sand would decrease.

B) The rock would become a plutonic rock composed mostly of quartz.

C) The rock would become more felsic with a higher concentration of magnesium.

D) The pebbles would become distorted and the sand would be recrystallized.


If so, then the answer is letter D. 

>  The change that would most likely to occur if this rock became buried deep within Earth’s crust and was subjected to intense heat and pressure, but did not melt is: The pebbles would become distorted and the sand would be recrystallized.

A solution with pH of 7 is ??
skad [1K]

Answer:

A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic. A pH greater than 7 is basic. The pH scale is logarithmic and as a result, each whole pH value below 7 is ten times more acidic than the next higher value.

In dsDNA, how is it determined which strand will be transcribed by RNA polymerase?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- direction, the RNA polymerase will add nucloetides.

Explanation:

RNA polymer is an enzyme which adds nucleotide complementary to the DNA template strand.   The RNA polymerase enzymes attach to the DNA strand at the promoter region which with the help of other factors will start transcription and will form RNA molecule.

The RNA strands are formed with polarity in 5’ to 3’ direction as the RNA polymerase adds the new nucleotide at to the 3' end of the strand.  Thus, the RNA polymerase will bind to the strand of the DNA which runs in 3' to 5' direction which is known as the template strand or antisense strand.

Thus, direction, the RNA polymerase will add nucleotides is the correct answer.
