I used the genetic code table. mRNA codon ===> amino acid

1st base 2nd base 3rd base
A U U ===> Isoleucine
A U C ===> Isoleucine

The point mutation of codon AUU to AUC is a neutral mutation because it neither benefits nor deter the ability of the organism to survive and reproduce.

As you can see, Both codons result to the Isoleucine amino acid.

Another codon that will still result to the Isoleucin amino acid is AUA.

Answer:

[A]²

Explanation:

Since the formation is independent of D, D is 0 order.

Since a quadruples when it is doubled it can be written as

2A^X= 4

To find the unknown power we can assume A= 1 to make the math simple. So When a = 2 (Because you doubled it) raised to X power it will equal 4

so the unknown power is 2

Making the rate law

[a]²[b]⁰

or simply just

[A]²

Equation balancing

meriva

Answer:

For a: The balanced equation is $2S(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)$

For c: The balanced equation is $2NaOH(s)+H_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow Na_2SO_4(aq)+2H_2O(l)$

Explanation:

A balanced chemical equation is one where all the individual atoms are equal on both sides of the reaction. It follows the law of conservation of mass.

For (a):

The given unbalanced equation follows:

$S(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow SO_3(g)$

To balance the equation, we must balance the atoms by adding 2 infront of both $S(s)$ and $SO_3$ and 3 in front of $O_2$

For the balanced chemical equation:

$2S(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)$

For (b):

The given balanced equation follows:

$2Al(s)+3Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2AlCl_3(s)$

The given equation is already balanced.

For (c):

The given unbalanced equation follows:

$2NaOH(s)+H_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow Na_2SO_4(aq)+H_2O(l)$

To balance the equation, we must balance the atoms by adding 2 infront of $H_2O(l)$

For the balanced chemical equation:

$2NaOH(s)+H_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow Na_2SO_4(aq)+2H_2O(l)$

For (d):

The given balanced equation follows:

$C_3H_8(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)$

The given equation is already balanced.

What is the relationship between developed land, population and resource use?

givi [52]

Explanation:

While both developed and developing countries have contributed to global environmental problems, developed countries with 85% percent of the gross world product and 23% of its population account for the largest part of mineral and fossil-fuel consumption, resulting in significant environmental impacts
