If none of the nucleotides includes stop or start codons when a segment of a gene contains 27 nucleotides there will be 81 amino acids in this segment code.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Codon is a nucleotides within messenger RNA. A stop or start codon is a nucleotide triplet which signals protein termination. Start codons initiate to start translation while the stop codon initiates termination.

The genetic codes are the sequence for nucleotide that codes for amino acids. A segment containing 27 nucleotides multiplied by 3 gives 81 amino acids. Every nucleotide in an mRNA are read “three at a time”. Hence this segment codes for 81 amino acids.

Which of the following statements correctly describes any chemical reaction that has reached equilibrium?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Option (d).

Explanation:

Equilibrium may be defined as the state of  the equality on both the sides of the reaction. Different types of equilibrium are physical equilibrium, chemical equilibrium and dynamic equilibrium.

Chemical equilibrium may be defined as the equilibrium in which the reactants and products concentration remains constant with time. The rate of the backward reaction is equal to the rate of forward reaction.

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).

Why are leaves the most common source for sugars in a plant?????? HELPPP
NemiM [27]
It is because leaves are the main users of photosynthesis in a plant. The sunlight seeps into the leaves, and the leaves transform the sunlight's energy into sugar; their food.

I hope this helps! :)
