Answer:

The tRNA would be unable to read the mRNA CODON, and will be unable to carry its corresponding amino acid

Explanation:

Protein synthesis occurs in two major stages; transcription and translation. Transcription involves the synthesis of a mRNA molecule while translation involves reading the sequence of the mRNA in order to synthesize amino acids that forms protein. Let's look at translation in details. Translation occurs with the help of a type of RNA molecule called transfer RNA (tRNA) present in the RIBOSOME (site of protein synthesis).

The tRNA possesses a group of three nucleotides called ANTICODON, which it uses to read the mRNA codon that is complementary to it i.e. an anticodon UAC will read mRNA codon AUG. The tRNA binds to the mRNA molecule in order to assess its nuceleotide sequence. Once, a complementary anticodon succesfully reads a particular mRNA codon, it carries the amino acid encoded by the mRNA codon it reads to the growing polypeptide chain. This is the normal translation process.

However, as stated in the question, that if a wrong anticidon successfully binds to a codon. This means that the anticodon that binds to the mRNA codon is not complementary to it. What would happen in this case is that the Anticodon will be unable to read that particular codon it binds to because the complementary base pairing rule is used to read i.e. A-U, G-C. Once, the anticodon cannot read the mRNA codon, the tRNA will also be unable to carry the amino acid that is encoded by that CODON.

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

This is because one of its orbital shells is not filled – the one with 1 electron. This atom will, therefore, want to lose this electron – it takes less energy to do this than gain 7 electrons -- to achieve stable electron configuration. This makes this atom very reactive in a chemical reaction.  Usually orbital shells of atoms begin with an S orbital shell that is filled with 2 electrons then P (x,y,z) orbital shells filled with 6 electrons total. There are also higher energy f and d orbitals that each take a maximum 10 and 14 electrons respectively. An atom is stable if its orbitals are fully filled.

Answer:

C- Impair the ability to consider the consequences of acting impulsively

Explanation:

Alcohol consumption leads to an increase in the level of dopamine released in the brain, thus increasing pleasure. This increase in levels of dopamine can lead to impairment in reasoning and minor memory loss. With these factors, impulsive actions are more likely to occur. Aggressive behavior might eventually settle in, when euphoria eventually becomes depression.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

C. Diploid condition

Explanation:

A Karyotype is the pictorial display that shows chromosome arrangement and number in a cell. The Karyotype shows any abnormalities in the nuclear material (chromosomes). In a carrot plant that was cloned from carrot root, the clones should possess the same features as the original plant.

A Karyotype of both plants i.e. clone and the original plant should show that their cells have a diploid number of chromosomes i.e. Two sets of chromosomes. Since a carrot plant is a diploid organism.
