<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A. <em>18 hydrogen atoms </em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Alkanes are group of hydrocarbon that are saturated</u></em>. They are saturated in the sense that each carbon atom has maximum number of hydrogen atoms.
  • <em><u>The homologous series of alkanes has a general formula of CₓH₂ₓ₊₂.</u></em>
  • Therefore,<u><em> an alkane with 8 carbons will have; (2×8) +2 = 18 hydrogen atoms. </em></u>Thus, the formula of the hyrocarbon will be; C₈H₁₈.

In alkane, number of hydrogen atom = 2n + 2
Where, n = number of carbon atoms

So, it would be: 2(8)+2 = 16+2 = 18

In short, Your Answer would be Option A

Hope this helps!

What amino acid is carried by tRNA with anticodon, GUA?
astra-53 [7]
Hi There! :)

<span>What amino acid is carried by tRNA with anticodon, GUA?

</span>The mRNA sequence that you have shown above has been given in triplets of bases. These triplets are called codons. Therefore the amino acid that tRNA will bring must be complementary to this hence called the anticodon. There is a rule. A always pairs with U (or T if it was a DNA strand) and C always pairs with G. 

<span>For the first two triplets I will do the anticodon sequence then you can finish off : GUA GCC ..... </span>

<span>Each codon or anticodon triplet codes for an amino acid. To find this out published tables are used. All the possible triplets will be on there. You will simply just have to read off the names of the amino acid stated next to it in that grid table. </span>
