A protein contains 131 amino acids. How many bases will there

Biology
1 answer:
drek231 [11]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

393 nitrogenous bases

Explanation:

During the Translation process, the nitrogenous bases on the mRNA are read by the tRNA in triplets called codons.  Each codon codes for a specific amino acid which gets bonded to each other via peptide bonds and forms a peptide.

In the given question since the protein contains 131 amino acids these might have been coded by 393 nitrogenous bases shown below:

Since 1 amino acid coded by 3 nitrogenous bases  

so 131 amino acid will be coded by- 131 x 3 = 393 bases.

Thus, 393 bases are the correct answer.

Which of the following does not represent a common outcome following introduction of foreign DNA into a bacterial cell?Choose on
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The correct option is A, since if the DNA enters in a circular form it is called a plasmid, and the plasmids upon entering the bacteria self-replicate outside the genetic structure, which gives the bacteria better survival qualities.

Explanation:

Plasmids are generally circular extrachromosomal DNA molecules that replicate and transmit independently of chromosomal DNA, and are normally present in bacteria, archaea, and sometimes in eukaryotic organisms such as yeast. Its size varies from 3 to 10 kb. The number of plasmids can vary, depending on their type, from a single copy to a few hundred per cell. Plasmid vectors allow cloning of exogenous DNA ligands of up to 4 kb since a larger size than this makes cloning in these vectors difficult. The term plasmid was first introduced by the American molecular biologist Joshua Lederberg in 1952. Plasmids can only coexist as one or more copies in each bacterium, due to cell division they can be lost in one of the secreted bacteria.

Describe the effects of the various antibiotic drugs you used. Were they all equally effective at controlling bacterial growth?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Basically, most   antibiotic drugs  are not  effective in controlling bacterial growth. The potency of any antibiotic drugs is a measure of the magnitude of  diameter of the  bacterial growth . <u>This is because the diameter   is the measurement of the bacterial growth around the antibiotic drugs used to control it multiplication, and therefore a  measure  of how effective  it  can controls the population</u> Thus a small diameter around the antibiotic agent is a proof that it suppressed the growth effectively and can effectively be used to control  the bacteria, While  a large diameter is an indication of low effectiveness of the drug.

Based on this analogy, penicillin with wide usage for control  of bacteria growth  with  diameter of 3mm, is the most effective antibiotic drugs.However, Erythromycin which is also widely used control growth with diameter of 5mm  or 6mm depending on   type of bacterial.

Therefore, the least 3mm  diameter presented by penicillin is an indication that , antibiotic drugs  are not effective enough, and further research need to be done to control growth of bacteria and therefore its   pathogenic  effects.
