Answer:

A protein-coding gene has an open reading frame (ORF) that make easier its identification

Explanation:

During translation, the messenger RNA (mRNA) is read by the ribosomes as triplets of nucleotides called codons in the open reading frame (ORF). An ORF can be defined as a gene fragment composed of codons which are translated into amino acids in a polypeptide chain. According to the genetic code, the information encoded by these codons will specify the sequence of amino acids in the protein, as well as the start codon and stop codons of the protein-coding genes. A start codon (AUG) is a site at which translation into protein begins, while stop codons (UAA, UAG, and UGA) mark the site at which translation ends. Moreover, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) don't have ORFs because they do not encode for proteins, and therefore their identification is more difficult.

"If Jennifer wants to reduce the risk of having a baby with a birth defect caused by an environmental substance like drugs or al
Liula [17]

Answer:

Jennifer should understand that exposure to teratogens can cause the most damage during exposures such as <em>the duration of exposure, the amount of teratogenic substance, and the stage of development the embryo or fetus is in during the exposure. </em>

Explanation:

<em>Teratogens</em> may affect the embryo or fetus in a number of ways, causing physical malformations, problems in the behavioral or emotional development of the child, and decreased intellectual quotient (IQ) in the child. Additionally, <em>teratogens</em> may also affect pregnancies and cause complications such as preterm labors, spontaneous abortions, or miscarriages. <em>Teratogens </em>are classified into four types: physical agents, metabolic conditions, infection, and finally, drugs and chemicals.

What can you conclude about the advantage of the cell membrane being made up of phospholipids?
sergiy2304 [10]
The phospholipid bilayer is a universal component of all cell membranes. Each phospholipid molecule has a hydrophobic(water repelling) and a hydrophilic( attracted to water) end. This allows the phospholipids to arrange themselves in a way that makes a cell membrane not able to dissolve in water. The bilayer is also semi-permeable which allows only certain molecules to enter the cell.
