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.

If the researcher compares mRNA from inside the nucleus to mRNA from the ribosomes, what will be found
wolverine [178]

Shorter mRNA will be found in the ribosomes when comparisons are made

with the  mRNA from inside the nucleus.

<h3>Ribosomes</h3>

Ribosomes are organelles which acts as sites for protein synthesis. This is

where the mRNA gets converted into polypeptides which have longer

chains.

Ribosomes have a shorter mRNA in the ribosome which becomes longer in

the nucleus after synthesis of larger polypeptides.  this is the reason why

there is a variation in the size of the mRNA found in the ribosome and

nucleus.

Answer with Explanation:

Hydrogen peroxide is considered<em> "unstable,"</em> thus, storing it in the refrigerator provides two advantages:

1. It slows down thermal decomposition.

  • The rate of decomposition slows down when the temperature is lowered. It increases when the temperature rises.

2. It prevents photolytic decomposition.

  • Photolytic decomposition happens when hydrogen peroxide is exposed to sunlight or bright light. It therefore increases the rate of reaction. Therefore, hydrogen peroxide should be stored in a <em>cool and dark place</em>, such as the refrigerator.

A mutation can be passed on to offspring if it occurs in the
aalyn [17]

I believe the correct answer is chromosome.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

We inherit 23 chromosomes from our mother and another 23 chromosome pairs from our father. You have to inherit a defective chromosome for you to get the mutation. This is what is called germ line mutation usually carried in the sperm or ovum. Of the 23 chromosomes, 22 are autosomal and 1 is chromosomal meaning of the 23 one of them is X and another one is . You get the Y from your father and the X from your mother.
