We would expect that a 15-nucleotide sequence that includes a stop codon at the end (as part of the 15-nucleotide sequence) will

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.

An alpha helix or a beta-pleated sheet are examples of what level of protein structure?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Secondary level of protein structure

Explanation:

The proteins are formed of the monomer units called amino acids which bond with each other via peptide bond and form a linear peptide structure called the primary level structure of the protein.

The proteins to perform several functions in a cell undergoes structural conformation and attain the helical form called alpha helix due to the involvement of alpha carbon in bond formation and a pleated sheet called beta-pleated sheet due to the involvement of beta carbon. These structures are known as a secondary level of protein structure.

Thus, a Secondary level of protein structure is the correct answer.

What does it mean for an environment to be isotonic?(1 point)
HACTEHA [7]

A solution to be isotonic refers to b) The concentration of solute in the environment and the concentration inside the cell are at equilibrium.

  • Isotonic solution is the solution that have equal concentration of solute on both sides of the solution separated by a membrane.
  • If a cell is kept in an isotonic solution that means the concentration of the solute inside the cell is the same as that of the outside then the movement of solvent does not occur between the cell and the external environment.
  • The osmotic pressure inside the cell and outside the cell across the semipermeable membrane of the cell becomes the same due to equal concentration of the solute on each side.

0.9% normal saline is an example of isotonic solution.
