Answer:

1 - (\frac{61}{64})^n

Explanation:

Given

There are three stop codon

TAA, TAG, TGA.

Out of 64 available codons, 3 are stop codon thus the remaining are non-stop codon.

So the probability of choosing a non stop codon is

\frac{61}{64}

Let us suppose the number of trials are "x" then the probability of choosing a non stop codon is  

(\frac{61}{64})^x\\

Probability of choosing a stop codon is equal to

1 - probability of choosing a non stop codon

1 - (\frac{61}{64})^n

Students in a science class were asked to investigate how missing or damaged organelles affect cellular homeostasis for cells fo
lora16 [44]

Answer:

B. At what rate do the mitochondria of the cell need to convert glucose to usable energy molecules to meet the high energy needs of the cell?

Explanation:

Organelles are specific in their functioning and hence, each organelle contributes its own quota to the cell's proper functioning. According to the question, a muscle tissue is being worked on to determine the effect of a missing or damaged organelle on its cell.

Mitochondria are organelles found in all eukaryotic living cells. They are the organelles responsible for the synthesis of ATP (energy) used by the cell as a result of the glucose that gets converted in them during cellular respiration.

Therefore, to determine if the muscle cells are functioning properly, the question that: At what rate do the mitochondria of the cell need to convert glucose to usable energy molecules to meet the high energy needs of the cell? should be asked.

Note that, Chloroplast and cell wall are not found in muscle cells, which is an animal cell. Likewise, ribosomes are not organelles for synthesis of glucose.
