Tanya [424]

Answer:

b. a capsule

Explanation:

The capsule is mainly made up of polysaccharides and surrounds many bacteria. Capsule staining includes mixing of the bacterial cells with dye and spread out in a thin film on a slide. After air-drying, the cells appear as light-colored structures present in a relatively dark blue-black background. This occurs since the dye particles cannot penetrate either the cell or its capsule. Therefore, the given slide with a colorless ring around the cells in a dark background represents the presence of a capsule around the observed cells.

A codon is the sequence of three nucleotides that decide that which particular amino acid would be incorporated in the polypeptide chain. Each codon code for a particular amino acid and responsible for the primary structure of proteins.

During translation the transfer RNA have the anticodon on its one side and amino acid bound to it on its other side. It adds the amino acids to growing polypeptide chain by binding to particular codon on messenger RNA.

Example; AUG is the starting codon for every protein and code for methionine in eukaryotes and anticodon for it is UAC.
