A. Fruits provide nourishment for seedlings.
Answer:
A carbon atom can form up to four covalent bonds as one carbon atom has four valence electrons (in outermost shell). It is a fact that the number of valence electrons in a atom determines the number of covalent bonds it will form. Thus, each electron in carbon atom is used to form four covalent bonds with various four atoms.
Explanation:
A bond between a carbon and hydrogen atom is a non-polar covalent bond. The non-polar covalent bond are the bonds between two atoms which share equal number of electron(s) with each other. Example: as in case of methane, where one carbon atom shares its 4 outer valence electrons with four hydrogens by sharing equal number of electron.
In contrast, polar covalant bond are the bonds between two atoms which share unequal number of electron(s) with each other. Thus these bonds are partially ionic.
Answer:
Part A: Thr-Leu-Val
Part B: ACC-UUG-GUU
Explanation:
When you transcribe a DNA sequence to mRNA, you need to remember that in RNA there is no Thymine (T), instead it has Uracil (U). So the base pairings would be like this compared to DNA base pairing:
DNA RNA
A-T A-U
T-A T-A
C-G G-C
G-C C-G
Given the sequence the transcription will be as follows:
DNA : TGG - AAC - CAA
mRNA: ACC - UUG - GUU
Next, to translate it into amino acids, you will use the chart. Now amino acids pair in codons (3 base pairs at a time). Let's take the first codon in your sequence:
ACC
1st 2nd 3rd
A C C
Using the column on the left, find the row that matches it, so in this case A.
At the very top, there is another row of letters, looking at the row of A only, look for the column of the second base which is C.
Lastly, look at the right most column and find the letter that matches the third base within the box where A and C intersect. In this case, C is your third base.
The amino acid where all three intersect is your first amino acid which is Thr.
Just do this for the next codons and you will come up with the answer.
