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.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

A drug that interacts directly with receptor sites to cause the same activity that a natural chemical would cause at that site is the instructors best response.  

Explanation:

Receptors are Macromolecules which involved in chemical signalling within cells. It is possible that receptors are located in the cell surface membrane. Cellular biochemical process is regulated by Activated receptor. The drugs are capable to affect to receptor who is related to the drug’s affinity and also intrinsic efficacy.

The affinity and activity of drug is related to its chemical structure. its effect is decided by the time duration where complex persistence of drug-receptor.
