If you were 6’6 1/2 tall, about how many meters tall would you be

Biology

Answer:

1.99metres

Explanation:

Foot and inches are measurements of heights. A height measurement of 6’6 1/2" means I am 6 foot and 6.5 inches tall.

Firstly, we need to convert the foot and inches measurement to all foot.

Since 1 foot = 12 inches

Then, the 6.5 inches is 6.5/12

= 0.5416foot

We add this to the existing feet measurement, i.e. 6 foot + 0.5416 foot

= 6.5416 foot.

Hence, 6'6.5" means 6.5416'

Now, we convert the foot measurement to metres.

1 foot makes 30.48 cm

Since 100 cm makes 1 m

30.48 cm will be 30.48/100= 0.3048m

Hence, 1 foot = 0.3048m

6.5416 foot = 6.5416 × 0.3048 m

= 1.9938

Therefore, a height measurement of 6’6 1/2" is 1.99 metres tall.

During translation, nucleotide base triplets (codons) in mRNA are read in sequence in the 5’ → 3’ direction along the mRNA. Amin
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, it lacks the mRNA sequence. The sequence is as follows:

5′−AUGGCAAGAAAA−3′

The answer is Met-Ala-Arg-Lys

Explanation:

Gene expression in living organisms involves the process of transcription and translation. Transcription is the synthesis of a complementary strand of mRNA from a DNA template while translation involves using the transcibed mRNA as a template to synthesize amino acid sequence (proteins).

In the RIBOSOME, where the synthesis of protein occurs, the mRNA nuceleotide sequence is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON. Each codon specifies a particular amino acid. The collection of all codons is the genetic code. Hence, for a specific mRNA sequence that reads 5′−AUGGCAAGAAAA−3′. The nucleotides will be read three at a time starting with AUG which is a codon that encodes METHIONINE.

Next, GCA is a codon that encodes ALANINE

Next, AGA is a codon that encodes ARGININE

Finally, AAA is a codon that encodes LYSINE.

Hence, the amino acid sequence using the above mRNA sequence, will read: Met-Ala-Arg-Lys

Several species of fish and marine life eat plankton. How is that diversity important to the ecosystem as a whole?
xeze [42]
Plankton is at the bottom of a food chain. Think of a pond. Mosquito larvae are in a pond. They eat the plankton. Small fish eat the larvae. Larger fish eat those smaller fish and the chain keeps going..BUTTT it all started with the PLANKTON. Without the plankton the whole food chain would be messed up and everything would start dying.. No plankton, no larvae, no small fish..and so on..
