A protein is discovered that is responsible for retaining youthful elasticity in the skin. A biotechnology company wants to find

the gene for the protein in order to produce the protein commercially and market it. The protein was discovered to be 90,000 amino acids long. How long is the gene they are looking for?

Answer:

The correct answer would be 2,70,000 nucleotide long gene.

The gene refers to the protein coding sequence of the (deoxyribonucleic acid) DNA.

The nucleotide sequence of a gene corresponds to the codon sequence if mRNA. The codon sequence of mRNA then codes for the amino acid sequence of the protein.

The codon refers to the set of three nucleotide which codes for a specific amino acid. For example, CAG codes for glutamine, AUG codes for methionine et cetera.

So, if the polypeptide chain consists of 90,000 amino acids then it must contain 90,000 x 3 nucleotides which are equal to 2,70,000 nucleotides.

Two species of shorebirds are both adapted to live in coastal marshes. One species outcompetes the other for the small fish that
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

Explanation:

According to the Competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as Gause's Law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

As we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

Coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when One species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. Eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

Hope it help!

A 0.2 M solution of NaCl contains ________ g of NaCl in 1 l of ________.
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

11.7 g in 1 L of water.

Explanation:

Molarity (M) or Molar concentration is a measure used in chemistry for solutes in a solution.

It is defined as mol/ L (number of moles per litre).

0,2 M means we have 0,2 mol/ L

In order to know how many grams this means we need to look up the molecular weight of the solute. In this case NaCl: 58.443 g/mol

\frac{1 mol NaCl}{58.443 g} = \frac{0.2 mol}{X g}

X= \frac{(0.2 mol x 58.433 g}{1 mol}

X= 11.69 g

The solution has 11.69 g of NaCl in 1 L of water since its an adequate polar solvent for NaCl dissolution.
