Answer:
A. Duodenum
Explanation:
Duodenum is the first part of the small intestine which receives bile juice, pancreatic and intestinal digestive juices. The digestive enzymes present in these juices completes the process of digestion.
The lining of the duodenum has numerous finger-like projections called intestinal villi. The villi are specialized to absorb the digested food by providing increased surface area for the process of digestion. Hence, among the given options, the absorption of digested food occurs in duodenum.
Answer:
5 amino acids
Explanation:
The process of translation involves synthesizing a sequence of amino acids from a mRNA template. The mRNA molecule is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODONS. A codon specifies or codes for an amino acid.
In the question, a mRNA sequence was given as follows: AUGUACUCGCGACCGUAA. From this sequence comprising of 6 codons, 5 possible amino acids will be contained in the polypeptide encoded by this mRNA molecule as the last codon (UAA) is a STOP codon. The following are the codons in the mRNA sequence and their respective amino acids:
*AUG- methionine (met)
*UAC - tyrosine (Tyr)
*UCG - Serine (Ser)
*CGA - Arginine (Arg)
*CCG - Proline (Pro)
*UAA - Stop
