Hominids are bipedal and have big brains. They have several skeletal adaptations to walking upright, such as curved vertebrae and angled femurs. Hominids became omnivores and developing cooking, which helped make their teeth and jaws smaller. The handy man, Homo habilis lived around 2.33 to 1.44 million years ago.Feb 25, 2015

An RNA sequence includes 12 nitrogenous bases, AUGGUGCAUGUC. What is the maximum number of amino acids for which this sequence c
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

In the mRNA sequence AUGGUGCAUGUC the maximum number of amino acids that can be encoded is 4 (option A).

Explanation:

Messenger RNA (mRNA) has a sequence of nitrogenous bases produced by the transcription of a DNA strand. This sequence of bases is organized in triplets or codons —made up of 3 nitrogenous bases— that can encode an amino acid, or mark the beginning or end —STOP codon—of protein synthesis.

From the sequence:

AUGGUGCAUGUC

Four codons are obtained, each of which encodes a different amino acid:

<em>Codons:          AUG-GUG-CAU-GUC</em>

<em>Amino acids:  Met - Val - His - Val</em>

<em>Methionine Valine Histidina and Valine are the four amino acids encoded by the 12 nucleotide sequence of the mRNA.</em>

Which amino acids are the primary nitrogen donors for biosynthetic reactions in the cell?
prohojiy [21]
Glutamine and glutamate are the primary nitrogen donors for biosynthetic reactions in the cell.  Glutamine is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. Its side chain is similar to that of glutamic acid, except the carboxylic acid group is replaced by an amide. It is classified as a charge-neutral, polar amino acid. It is non-essential and conditionally essential in humans, meaning the body can usually synthesize sufficient amounts of it, but in some instances of stress, the body's demand for glutamine increases, and glutamine must be obtained from the diet. Glutamate is generally acknowledged to be the most important transmitter for normal brain function. Nearly all excitatory neurons in the central nervous system<span> are glutamatergic, and it is estimated that over half of all brain synapses release this agent. Glutamate plays an especially important role in clinical neurology because elevated concentrations of extracellular glutamate, released as a result of neural injury, are toxic to neurons</span>

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Both statements are true

Explanation:

Many small tree saplings are competing for sunlight on the forest floor because tree saplings in forest floors are often deprived of adequate light as a result of the shade created by bigger trees in the forest. <em>Hence, the saplings jostle for light in order to effectively carry out light-requiring physiological activities such as photosynthesis and chlorophyll synthesis.</em>

It is transmitted from one bird to another through contact and by a vector - the mosquito</em>. The virus is also capable of being contracted by humans where it causes fatal neurological disorders.
