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.

olganol [36]

Answer:

A. If the aerobic pathway—cellular respiration—cannot meet the energy demand, then the anaerobic pathway—lactic acid fermentation—starts up, resulting in lactic acid buildup and "oxygen debt."

C. After about 90 seconds of intense exercise, the muscles become depleted of oxygen, and anaerobic respiration can no longer function to produce ATP, resulting in "oxygen debt."

Explanation:

There are two sources of carbohydrates in the human's body for energy (ATP) production. 1) Creatine phosphate and 2) Glycogen. Creatine phosphate metabolizes easily and yields ATP quickly. Whereas glycogen is stored form of carbohydrate which yields energy more slowly. Therefore, initially, our bodies use creatine phosphate and then shift to glycogen. Within 60-90 seconds, the creatinine phosphate in the body is mostly utilized and then energy is produced by the use of glycogen in aerobic pathway. During areobic pathway, oxygen supply is sufficient and per cycle, it produces 32 molecules of ATP. However, when oxygen supply is limited or absent, the body will metabolize glycogen to lactic acid via fermentation and produce only 2 molecules of ATP.

Now consider the example: Kenny hikes all day at a steady pace therefore the supply of oxygen is sufficient for aerobic cellular respiration for ATP production. In this scenario, the oxygen debt is minimal and Kenny relies on aerobic respiration pathway to obtain energy. On the other hand, Janelle runs fast (100 meters in 13.5 seconds) and her cellular respiration would be on the compense of aerobic pathway initially which will be shifted to anaerobic pathway after the supply of oxygen is reduced/minimum. Janelle will heavily rely on the anaerobic pathway because running fast needs energy which cannot be provided via aerobic pathway easily. Therefore, Janelle's body will produce lactic acid and suffer from oxygen debt.

slava [35]

Answer:

c)polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Explanation:

Because the paleontologist recovered only a bit of tissue  and it is very old, it is very likely that the DNA in the sample is very small and part of it is degraded. Anyway, the paleontologist must first amplify the DNA sample to obtain many identical copies of the specific region of the DNA they want to compare. the above is done through a polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
