Sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain of protein molecule coresponds to the sequence of nucleotides on mRNA for that pr

otein. If reading frame of mRNA for a human protein is 993 nucleotide including a stop codon at the end, how many amino acids would be incorporated in the polypeptide chain?

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.

The mutation that causes sickle cell disease in humans is
IgorC [24]

Answer: Missense mutation

Explanation:

Missense mutation is a type of point mutation where a single nucleotide is changed to cause substitution of a different amino acid. This in turns render the resulting protein non-functional.

In the case of sickle-cell disease, the sixth amino acid in the gene sequence, glutamate (GAG) is substituted with valine (GUA), due to Adenine nucleotide changed to Uracil nucleotide. Thus, missense mutation has occurred

How many hydrogen atoms can bind to one carbon atom?
Damm [24]

I think that the question is not clear enough. Can you be more specific?

If your question was something like this: how many atoms of hydrogen can be around carbon, then the answer is 4. Carbon forms 4 bonds with other atoms.

Please note that carbon need not always form bonds to four atoms. A carbon could form a double bond with an oxygen and then two single bonds to hydrogen atoms. The carbon is only bonded to three atoms, but is forming a total of four bonds (1 double and 2 singles).
