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.

Reptiles are able to survive on land because of characteristics that include a shelled egg, scaly skin, and efficient circulator
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

One of the characteristics in reptile reproduction is that they are vertebrate animals and reproduce by eggs, that is, they are oviparous. Reptile eggs are quite similar to those we can find in birds and differ from those laid by amphibians and fish. This is because reptile eggs are amniotic, that is, they have a specific membrane that prevents the sequence of the egg.

The oviparous reproduction of reptiles stands out for the fact that the eggs they lay are specifically designed to survive without problems in arid conditions thanks to the amount of elements that compose it, we refer to the amniota egg. For starters, the shell is hard enough to protect the embryo, but at the same time it is permeable enough to allow the exchange of gases with the outside. The egg needs both water and nutrient reserves and normally these reserves are obtained through albumin. In addition to this, the egg has a sac that collects all the waste compounds and also has the amniotic sac with its amniotic fluid that serves as a buffer for the embryo.

 

The skin of reptiles resembles that of amphibians, as it is composed of two layers called dermis and epidermis.

Unlike amphibians, reptile skin does not have any type of glands to moisten it, which gives it a drier and harder skin that also makes it impervious to water.

The circulatory system in reptiles is VASCULAR, CLOSED, DOUBLE and INCOMPLETE, double because there are 2 blood circuits, the minor or pulmonary circulation (heart-lung-heart) and the major or systemic circulation heart-body-heart), it is vascular because the blood leaves the heart thro ugh the blood vessels, it closes because the blood never leaves the blood vessels, that is, it is not poured into large interoceanic spaces or blood lagoons, it is incomplete because the venous and arterial blood mix in the Only ventricle possess, however, in crocodiles (more evolved reptiles) by having 2 ventricles, the mixture of both blood persists, that is, there is a minimal mixture of both types of blood.

In all reptiles breathing is pulmonary. The lungs have partitions or partitions that offer a greater gas exchange surface and greater efficiency. Ophidiums, like snakes, only have the right functional lung, the left lung is atrophied. Sea turtles, in addition to lung breathing, have sewer breathing for this because their vascularized sewer takes the O2 that dissolves in the water.

2. An adaptive advantage of having a three-chambered heart, as found in amphibians, over the two-chambered heart of fish is that
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

fully oxygenated blood returning to the amphibian heart can undergo additional pumping to reach higher pressures.

Explanation:

Fishes have a two-chambered heart with one atrium and one ventricle. The blood is pumped from the atrium into the ventricle. Ventricle pumps blood into a single circuit of blood vessels. Blood is oxygenated as it passes through capillaries in the gills. As blood circulates through the gill capillaries, it has low blood pressure and therefore, is delivered very slowly to the other organs.  

The amphibian heart has two atria and one ventricle. A sinus venosus collects oxygen-poor blood and pumps it into the right atrium. Oxygenated blood from the lungs passes directly into the left atrium. The left atrium pumps the oxygen-rich blood into the arteries that conduct it to the various tissues of the body. Therefore, a three-chambered heart in reptiles allows the delivery of oxygenated blood with high blood pressure.
