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

You have 0.21 moles of Al how many atoms do you have
ZanzabumX [31]

Number of atoms : 1.26 x 10²³

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

The mole is the number of particles(molecules, atoms, ions) contained in a substance  

1 mol = 6.02.10²³ particles

Can be formulated

N=n x No

N = number of particles

n = mol

No = Avogadro's = 6.02.10²³

0.21 moles of Al, so n = 0.21

Number of atoms :

\tt N=0.21\times 6.02\times 10^{23}\\\\N=1.26\times 10^{23}

What is the potential energy of the reactants from the following energy diagram?
slavikrds [6]
The potential energy of the reactants is 200J.
From the energy diagram, the energy of the product formed is 350J; this means that, this reaction is an endothermic reaction, because it absorbs energy from its environment.<span />
