Answer:

4 amino acids.

Explanation:

To become translated into protein, a sequence is read in triplets called codons.

Each codon that codes for an amino acid is made up of 3 nucleotides.

Therefore, a sequence of 15 nucleotides would be translated into a polypeptide that is made up of 5 amino acids. (15 divided by 3 = 5)

However, we are told that there is a stop codon at the end of this sequence.

A stop codon is a specialised codon that does not code for an amino acid, but tells the protein machinery that the polypeptide is complete.

Therefore, the polypeptide would have 5-1 amino acids, which corresponds to 4 amino acids.

Scientists are interested in determining if selenium, from a nearby mine, magnifies in the tissues of fish living in a lake. Whi
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

To test if the selenium from the mine has an effect on the fish living in the lake which i assume is close to the mine, testing the tissue of the fish from that lake and comparing it to the selenium levels of the fish from a nearby lake would be a testable hypothesis because there is a comparable aspect and there should be a difference in the numbers between the fish from the two lakes because of their distance to the mine.

I hope this answer helps.
