Answer:

330

Explanation:

A codon is the sequence of three nucleotides on mRNA that refers for particular amino acid during translation (protein synthesis) process. The four nucleotides arrange themselves in various combinations to produce different codons. The tRNA with corresponding anticodon attach the particular amino acid to polypeptide chain during translation.

Remember there is always a stop (UAA) and start codon (AUG) for the synthesis of polypeptide and stop codon does not contribute for any amino acid. It just terminate the polypeptide chain synthesis. We know that a codon is made up of three nucleotide so our calculation will be.

                                     993-stop codon =990

                                     990/3=330

So that's why 330 amino acid will be incorporated in the polypeptide chain.

What are your thoughts on climate change? Explain 4-5 sentences
densk [106]

Answer:

I think climate change can be either fake or real. I do believe temperatures are rising, but if you look at the history of the earth, it's gone through many ice ages and changes, so I would assume that it is no big deal. There is no evidence that temperatures are rising at a deadly rate, but weather has been unpredictable for a while now. Then again, these are my thoughts on climate change, so I'm not sure if I'm right or wrong. Hope I gave some useful information!

A box of jello has a mass of 250 g. How many boxes must be bought to have 1 Kg of jello? *
Igoryamba

Answer:

4

Explanation:

According to the question, one box of jello has a mass of 250grams.

The question wants us to find how many boxes of jello would collectively weigh 1kg.

Since the units of weight here are in grams (g) and kilograms (kg), we need to convert to the same unit

1kilogram (kg) is equal to 100 grams (g).

Hence, if 1 box of jello weighs 250g

1000g of jello box will be 1000/250 in number

1000 ÷ 250 = 4.

Hence, 4 boxes of jello will weigh 1000g or 1kg.
