Explain how the function of meiosis differs from the function of mitosis

1 answer:

8 0

Meiosis is performed by organisms such as animals and humans, while mitosis is performed at a more rapid rate by organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and plants. Also, meiosis has two rounds of genetic separation and cellular division involving a sperm and egg cell while mitosis only has one of each. In meiosis, homologous chromosomes separate and eventually produce daughter cells that are not genetically identical, whereas mitosis leads to the creation of daughter cells that are identical to the parent as well as to each other.

Body Type: DNA code- AGTGCCTTC RNA code- ___________ Amino Acid sequence (aka protein)- ___________________ Body Type?- ________

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer would be:

mRNA sequence - UCACGGAAG,
amino acid sequence - Ser-Arg-Lys, and
body type - dwarf

By central dogma, we know that nucleotide sequence of deoxyribonuceic acid (DNA) form the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide chain.

Nucleotide sequence of DNA is first decoded in the form of nucleotide sequence of mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) under the process of transcription. The sequence of RNA is complementary to the nucleotide sequence of template strand of DNA. In addition, uracil is present in RNA in place of thymine.

tRNA (transfer RNA) then deciphers the codon sequence of mRNA into amino acid sequence of polypeptide sequence by the process of translation.

Now, given DNA sequence is AGTGCCTTC.

so, the mRNA sequence would be UCACGGAAG.

Codon sequence is UCA CGG AAG.

So, the amino acid sequence would be Ser-Arg-Lys.

Hence, the trait of showman performer would be dwarfism.

Codon sequence chart is attached for reference.

Which of the following molecules stores a cell's hereditary information?

antoniya [11.8K]

DNA
Nucleic Acids are the basis for the storage and transmission of hereditary information in all cells. Determines a cell's function and manufactures proteins & enzymes. Encodes instructions for making proteins and RNA. DNA stores the “operating instructions” for a cell.
