If you count the methionine expressed for the start codon as part of the precursor protein, then (81+1)*3. (The start codon is expressed, but the stop codon isn't.)

Answer:

246 amino bases

Explanation:

An amino acid is coded by three bases. However, in a DNA molecule, there is coding that takes place. In DNA replication, the start and stop codons are not expressed during the formation of the double helix. Hence, an extra amino acid will be needed. In fact, this can be expressed mathematically like this:

Number of bases = (n+1) * 3

where n is the number of amino acid residues. Therefore, taking 81 amino acid residues yields:

                 N = (81+ 1) * 3\\246

Therefore, the least number of bases needed will be 246

Classify methanal according to the position of the c=o group
seraphim [82]

Answer :  Methanal also known as Formaldehyde CH_{2}O is a chemical Aldehyde which contain ( -CHO) group.

Explanation :

In organic chemistry, a carbonyl group is a functional group which contain a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom i.e, ( C=O).

     If carbonyl group is present in a compound then it can be a carboxylic (RCOOH), aldehyde (RCHO), ketone (RCOR'), ester ((RCOOR') or amide (RCONR'R") group.

Here are some functional groups naming according to the<em> IUPAC</em> rules and image also attached,

Carboxylic acid   →    (RCOOH)    →    ( name end in 'OIC ACID' )

Aldehyde             →    (RCOH)       →    ( name end in 'AL' )

Ketone                 →    (RCOR')       →    ( name end in 'ONE' )

Ester                     →    (RCOOR')    →    ( name end in 'ATE' )

Amide                   →    (RCONR'R") →    ( name end in 'AMIDE' )

In an aldehyde, atleast one hydrogen atom must be attached to the carbonyl carbon. For an aldehyde, remove ( -e) from alkane name and add ( -al) at the end of the compound.

Methanal is the IUPAC name for Formaldehyde.

How glass tube filed with acidified potassium dichromate detect drunken driver
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reaction between alcohol and acidified potassium dichromate  is a redox reaction. This reaction can be used to detect a drunken driver.

Alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids depending on the structure of the alcohol. Primary alcohols yield adehydes and carboxylic acids while secondary alcohols are oxidized to ketones.

The colour of the acidified potassium dichromate turns from orange to green when exposed to alcohols from the breath of a drunken driver.

How much energy is required to melt 10. 0 g of ice at 0. 0°C, warm it to 100. 0°c and completely vaporize the sample?
natta225 [31]

The 7160 cal energy is required to melt 10. 0 g of ice at 0. 0°C, warm it to 100. 0°C and completely vaporize the sample.

Calculation,

Given data,

Mass of the ice = 10 g

Temperature of ice =  0. 0°C

  • The ice at 0. 0°C is to be converted into water at 0. 0°C

Heat required at this stage = mas of the ice ×latent heat of fusion of ice

Heat required at this stage = 10 g×80 = 800 cal  

  • The temperature of the water is to be increased from 0. 0°C to 100. 0°C

Heat required for this = mass of the ice×rise in temperature×specific heat of water

Heat required for this  = 10 g×100× 1 = 1000 cal

  • This water at  100. 0°C  is to be converted into vapor.

Heat required for this = Mass of water× latent heat

Heat required for this  = 10g ×536 =5360 cal

Total energy or heat required = sum of all heat = 800 +1000+ 5360  = 7160 cal
