The Genetic Code was cracked by several different types of experiments. Some involved the synthesis of an RNA strand (that acted

like a mRNA) that was used in cell-free extracts that could carry out protein synthesis. The ribosomes in the extracts could translate a polypeptide from the synthetic RNA without the normal requirements for translation (such as initiation factors, rbs, initiator tRNA, etc). Also, the ribosome could start translation at random locations along the RNA. What would the synthesized polypeptides look like using each of the following synthetic RNAs?
A. An RNA consisting of repeating sequences of GC.
B. An RNA consisting of repeating sequences of UA.
C. An RNA consisting of repeating sequences of GAC.

Answer:

A. Repeats of "Alanine-Arginine"

B. Repeats of "Tyrosine-Isoleucine"

C. Repeats of Aspartic acid

Explanation:

A. The synthetic RNA with GC repeats would have repeats to two codons: GCG and CGC which in turn code for alanine and arginine amino acids respectively.  Hence, its polypeptide would have repeats of "Alanine-Arginine"

RNA: GCG CGC GCG CGC GCG CGC  

Alanine-Arginine-Alanine-Arginine-Alanine-Arginine-Alanine-Arginine ...

B. The synthetic RNA with UA repeats would have repeats to two codons: UAU and AUA which in turn code for tyrosine and Isoleucine amino acids respectively.  Hence, its polypeptide would have repeats of "Tyrosine-Isoleucine"

RNA: UAU AUA UAU AUA UAU AUA

Tyrosine-Isoleucine-Tyrosine-Isoleucine-Tyrosine-Isoleucine-Tyrosine-Isoleucine

C. The synthetic RNA with GAC repeats would code for polypeptide of aspartic acid only as GAC codes for aspartic acid.

RNA: GAC GAC GAC GAC GAC GAC

Which biomolecule is the most diverse and has a variety of functions? *
ryzh [129]

Answer: Proteins

Explanation:

Proteins are one of the most plentiful naturally-grown molecules in living systems and possess the most distinctive extent of duties of all macromolecules. The purposes of proteins are highly distinct for 20, unlike chemically different amino acids that develop large chains, plus the amino acids can occur in any method. Proteins may be architectural, regulatory, contractile, or shielding; they may work in transportation, storage, or membranes; or they may be poisons or enzymes. An instance of the function of proteins: proteins can work as enzymes or hormones. Enzymes made by living cells are catalysts in biochemical reactions and are usually proteins.

Which of the following best illustrates a type I survivorship curve, with higher death rates at older ages? Which of the followi
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

large mammals such as gorillas

Explanation:

The survivorship curves refer to the graphical representation of the proportion of the fraction of survivors or the individuals at a given age.

There are three types of survivorship curves which can be constructed by studying the life history of the organisms.

The type I survivorship curve is the curve which can be formed with the organism which has a high survival rate at the younger and middle age and high death rate at the older age. The type I curve can be characterised by its convex shaped. The type I is showed by the large mammals like gorilla, humans and many others.

Thus, large mammals such as gorillas are the correct answer.

When a species of fly has a bold coloration very similar to that of an unpalatable?
skelet666 [1.2K]
Mullerian mimicry. Unpalatable means not tasty. If an animal (fly) is copying a toxic or unpalatable animal, it must be for survival. If predators know that one animal is unpalatable, the predator would not eat a fly that looks similar to that unpalatable animal.

What is a spirometer and describe its use?
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Spirometry is a type of pulmonary function test (PFT), a noninvasive procedure that provides important information about how well the lungs are working. More specifically, it reveals how much air is moving through the lungs and how quickly as you breathe through a tube.

Hope this helps!
