5. A particular anticodon is 5'-AGC-3'. The codon that is a precise complementary base pair match for this is 5'-AGU-3'. However

, this anticodon can also bind to the codon 5'-GCU-3'. Both codons specify the amino acid serine. 3'-UCG-5' anticodon 3'-UCG-5' 5'-AGC-3' codon 5'-AGU-3' How can this one anticodon bind to two different codons?

Explanation:

Wobble Hypothesis given by Francis Harry Compton Crick states that 3rd base of mRNA codon can base pair with 1st base of a tRNA anticodon undergoing non-Watson-Crick.

The first 2 bases of the mRNA codon form Hydrogen bonds with the corresponding bases on tRNA anticodon in Watson-Crick manner. Through this, they only form the base pairs with the complimentary bases. However, formation of the Hydrogen bonds between 3rd base on codon and 1st base on anticodon can occur potentially in non-Watson-Crick manner.  

<u>Thus, the Wobble Hypothesis explains that why the multiple codons can code for single amino acid.</u>

Gaseous methane CH4 reacts with gaseous oxygen gas O2 to produce gaseous carbon dioxide CO2 and gaseous water H2O. What is the t
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

50.8 g

Explanation:

Equation of reaction.

CH_4 + 2O_2 \to CO_2 + 2H_2O

From the given information, the number of moles of methane = mass/ molar mass

= 15.4 g /  16.04 g/mol

= 0.960 mol

number of moles of oxygen gas = 90.3 g / 32 g/ mol

= 2.82 mol

Since 1 mol of methane requires 2 moles of oxygen

Then 0.960 mol of methane will require = 0.960 mol × 2 = 1.92 mol of oxygen gas

Thus, methane serves as a limiting reagent.

2.82 mol oxygen gas will result in 2.82 moles of water

So, the theoretical yield of water = moles × molar mass

= 2.82 mol × 18.01528 g/mol

= 50.8 g

A engineer measures the peak power output is 0.3227MW what is the peak power output in kilowatts ?
Lana71 [14]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

322.7 kW

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Power refers to the rate at which work is done.
  • Therefore; Power = Work done ÷ time
  • It is measured in joules per seconds or Watts

In this case, we are required to convert 0.3227 MW to kilowatts

We need to know that;

  • 10^6 watts = 1 Megawatts(MW)
  • 10^3 Watts = 1 kilowatts (kW)

Therefore;

10^3 kW = 1 MW

Therefore, the suitable conversion factor is 10^3kW/MW

Hence;

0.3227 MW is equivalent to;

   = 0.3227 MW × 10^3kW/MW

   = 322.7 kW

Thus, the peak power output is 322.7 kW
