The reason of why Brendon experience immense physical pain
and increased craving upon withdrawal because of physical dependence. Physical
dependence is a physical condition that occurs after a gradual drug withdrawal
in which the drug is being chronically used that upon withdrawal, it causes unpleasant
symptoms, mainly, physical.
Answer:
The correct answer is: C. third nucleotide position.
Explanation:
- Genes located on the chromosomes encodes for proteins.
- A Gene is made up of a Deoxyribonucleotide (DNA) sequence which is transcribed into the messenger Ribonucleotide (mRNA) sequence by the help of RNA polymerase.
- This mRNA sequence is further translated into the amino acid sequence, that folds to form the functional protein, by the help of the Ribosome.
- The Ribosome reads the mRNA sequence in the form of triplets (three nucleotide together) and each such triplet nucleotide codes for an amino acid.
- Each such triplet nucleotide is known as a Codon.
- The Genetic Code is a table which represents the amino acid encoded by each codon.
- However, the Genetic Code is degenerate in nature. This means that one amino acid can be coded by more than one codon.
- This is because, among the the three nucleotide positions in a codon only the first two determine the specificity of the amino acid while the third nucleotide, also called the wobble nucleotide, is not specific. Presence of any nucleotide in the third position of the codon will not alter the amino acid encoded by the codon.
- In the given question, organisms producing homologous protein have similar amino acid sequence but they vary in the corresponding nucleotide sequence of the gene which codes for the homologous protein.
- This is because at the nucleotide level the variation lies in the wobble nucleotide position that occupies the third position in the codon.
Answer:
B. Inherited traits carry the instructions for individual genes.
Answer:
If a DNA strand has the base sequence TTCCGGAA the complementary strand has the sequence AAGGCCTT.
Explanation:
A DNA molecule is constructed from sequences of its four nitrogenous bases: adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine. Since DNA is made up of two strands, the sequence of nitrogenous bases of one strand is complementary to the other
.
The complementarity of the bases is a characteristic of the nitrogenous bases in the nucleic acids to combine with their complementary base, which is the same as saying that purines complement with pyramidines.
- <em>Adenine is combined with Thymine A=T
</em>
- <em>Cytosine is complemented with Guanina C≡G
</em>
In this way, given a sequence on a DNA strand
:
<em> T-T-C-C-G-G-A-A</em>
The complementary strand will have this sequence:
<em> A-A-G-G-C-C-T-T</em>
