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.

Nady [450]

1. Law of Segregation: When gametes form, alleles are separated so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene

2. Law of Independent Assortment: The segregation of alleles for one gene occurs independently to that of any other gene

3. Principle of Dominance: Recessive alleles will be masked by dominant alleles†

What equipment should a food worker use to reheat a baked potato?
sp2606 [1]

If you want to reheat potatoes that are already cooked on a pan or fried, they may mash or dry, especially if they are fried. Better to avoid this practice for taste reasons, even if we can possibly heat them in the pan.


How to do?

To reheat potatoes boiled in water or steam, fry them in the pan: this is the best way to get the right result to taste, and you can also heat them in the microwave. cutting them into pieces so that reheating is easier and more uniform.
