Asking questions about the genetic code

Biology
1 answer:
Pepsi [2]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Genetic code is a sequence of Nitrogenous base in RNA(ribonucleic acid) or DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that determines or specify an amino acid. Genetic codes consist of a triplets code called codon that are written in three alphabeth each codon specifies an amino acid.

Example is AUG that specifies methionine which is a start codon. There are 64 codon, 61 of them specifies an amino acid while 3 are called the stop codon as they terminate amino acid formation process.

An alteration in the sequence of this nucleotide can lead to the formation of a new amino acids other than the specify.

1. Explain using diagram how monomers are arranged in Thermoplastic and Thermosettingplastics.​
Romashka [77]

Explanation:

In thermoplastics, the arrangement of monomeric units is linear and in thermosetting plastics, it is cross-linked. Thermoplastics are usually soft, weak and less brittle, so can get soften on heating and stiffen on cooling. They can be melted, remoulded and recycled easily.

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

When looking at a pedigree remember that:

  • squares are males
  • circles are females
  • the solid colored figure represents an individual affected by a disease
  • the empty figure represents a healthy individual

Let us assign the symbol X⁺ to represent the dominant allele linked to the X-chromosome and expressing healthiness, and X⁻ to represent the recessive allele expressing the dissease.

According to this pedigree

  • I1 is a man affected by the disease, YX⁻
  • I2 is a healthy woman X⁺X⁻
  • we can see that among the progeny (generation II) there are two individuals affected (a boy and a girl) and one healthy girl. This means that the mother I2 is heterozygous for the trait.

So, having their genotypes we can know what are the probabilities of getting a son with DMD

Parentals)    YX⁻     x     X⁺X⁻  

Gametes)   Y     X⁻      X⁺     X⁻

Punnett square)

                        X⁺             X⁻

            X⁻      X⁺X⁻         X⁻X⁻    

            Y        X⁺Y           X⁻Y

F1)

  • The probabilities of getting a healthy daughter X⁺X⁻ are 25%
  • The probabilities of getting a healthy son X⁺Y are 25%
  • The probabilities of getting a daughter with DMD X⁻X⁻ are 25%
  • The probabilities of getting a son with DMD X⁻Y are 25%

Answer:

Ο Α.

Sensory receptors in the skin detect the stimuli from the environment.

Explanation:

Simple process of elimination. Keratin is what makes up hair and nails. Muscles cannot detect temperature change, and connective tissue can't either. The sensory receptors that detect heat and cold are called thermoreceptors

Synthetic forms of the male hormone testosterone that are used to cause muscle hypertrophy are called _______
Greeley [361]
Anabolic steroids are synthetic forms of the male hormone testosterone that are used to cause muscle hypertrophy.

It is properly knowns as anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS). They are anabolic in nature and increases the protein found within the cells especially in the skeletal muscles. It also has varying degrees of androgenic and virilizing effect which includes inducing the development and maintenance of male secondary sexual characteristics such as facial and hair body growth.

In the 1930s AAS were synthesized and are recently used as a therapeutic medicine to stimulate muscle growth, increase appetite, induce puberty in males and treat wasting conditions among cancer and AIDS patients. It was also acknowledged by the American College of Sports Medicine that AAS, when joined with an adequate diet, can contribute to increasing the body weight, often as lean mass increases and the gains in muscular strength are achieved by doing high-intensity workout and proper diet.
