Answer:

peristalsis.

Explanation:

When the food enters the esophagus, it is in the form of a bolus. During this esophageal stage of swallowing, there are rhythmic contractions and relaxation of the circular and longitudinal layers of the muscularis of the GI tract. It is called peristalsis. This pushes the bolus downwards. Peristalsis in the esophagus is controlled by the medulla oblongata.

As the food enters the stomach, waves of peristalsis pass over the stomach every 15 to 25 seconds. The peristaltic waves in the stomach start at its body and become more intense as they reach the antrum. It moves gastric contents from the body of the stomach down into the antrum, a process known as propulsion.

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Since you haven't attached the illustration for finding out the amino acid sequence from the mRNA sequence from, I'll explain the general principle for it.

The mRNA represents the code for translation into specific amino acids which will form the protein. A group of three bases, a triplet code, is referred to as a codon. The tRNA is responsible for recognizing the codon and matching the anticodon that will attach to the mRNA and generate the chain of appropriate amino acids.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

What is the Difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells??
kirill115 [55]
You are a eukaryote. Your cells are eukaryotic. Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus. Eukaryotes can be single-celled or multi-celled, such as you, me, plants, fungi, and insects.

Bacteria are an example of prokaryotes. Prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelle. Prokaryotes include two groups: bacteria and another group called archaea.
