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.

viktelen [127]

Answer:

The ratio of blue to white offspring in the progeny is 4 blue : 12 white.

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • The dominant allele K is necessary to synthesize blue flower pigment
  • K is inhibited by the dominant allele D
  • Plants with the genotype K- D- will not produce pigment (and their flowers will be white)

Cross: testcross for (Kk Dd) plants

Parental)   KkDd     x     kkdd

Gametes) KD   kD   Kd   kd      

                kd   kd   kd   kd

Punnet square)        KD        Kd       kD       kd

                      kd     KkDd   Kkdd   kkDd   kkdd

                      kd     KkDd  Kkdd   kkDd   kkdd

                      kd     KkDd   Kkdd   kkDd   kkdd

                      kd     KkDd   Kkdd   kkDd   kkdd

  • Whenever D is present, it inhibits the expression of the K gene, so every plant with the dominant D allele will be white. This plants´ genotype is kkD- or K-D-.
  • Whenever D is absent and K is present, every plant with genotype K-dd will be blue.
  • The recessive form for K and D genes will express white-flowered plants, with genotype ddkk

F1) Progeny genotype: 4/16 KkDd, white-flowered plants

                                      4/16 Kkdd, blue-flowered plants

                                      4/16 kkDd, white-flowered plants

                                      4/16 kkdd, white-flowered plants

     The ratio of blue to white offspring in the progeny is 4 blue : 12 white.

     Blue-flowered plants: 4 Kkdd

     White-flowered plants: 4 KkDd + 4 kkDd + 4 kkdd
