Assume that the average protein in E.coli consists of a chain of 400 amino acids.  Now, a single amino acid present in the protein requires a codon to code for it. A codon consists of 3 nucleotides. This shows that a protein of length 400 amino acids will require, 400 codons to code for it, that is, 1200 (3 x 400) nucleotides are required. We know that the length of the E.coli genome on average is 5 x 10^{6} base pairs.

1200 nucleotides = 1 protein

5 x 10^{6} nucleotides = X no. of proteins

X = \frac{5\times 10^{6} \times 1}{1200} = 4167

The answer is 4167 proteins.

What would happen on a hot day if your brain did not receive input that your body was starting to heat up
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The body will overheat

Explanation:

If the brain of an individual does not receive input that the body was starting to heat up on a hot day, <u>the setpoint temperature of the body would be exceeded and the body will overheat. If the condition persists for a while, the entire systems of the body may shut down due to overheating. </u>

Normal homeostatic response requires that the brain (the control center) receives a message from the skin (the sensor) about a rise in the body's temperature. In turn, the brain will set mechanisms that will bring the body's temperature back to normal in motion, including vasodilation of the blood vessels in the skin to allow more blood into the skin which in turn causes more heat loss to the surrounding.<em> Thus, an individual starts sweating and the evaporation of the sweat causes cooling and a return of the body to the setpoint temperature.</em>
