Hairpin like structures are formed in both DNA and RNA but are common in RNA than in DNA. This is because DNA can be double stranded or single stranded while RNA is generally single stranded structure that can be double stranded only when it forms a hair pin like structure.
The features of hairpin structure in RNA are as follows:
1. This structure is a building block of many secondary structures of RNA.
2. The termination sequence during transcription also forms a hairpin loop like structure.
3. tRNA also forms a hairpin loop like structure and helps in the process of translation.
MRNA is read 5->3
Start codons can vary depending on the cell/organism type although more generally for mRNA it is always: AUG which is always Methionine
Stop codons for mRNA are:
<span>UAG ("amber") , UAA ("ochre"), <span>UGA ("opal")
</span></span>
<span>5'-uaucc.aug.gca.cuu.uaa.ac-3'
M-A-L
Methionine-Alanine-Leucine

Answer:
Keratinocytes are located in the stratum basale in the epidermis and the hair follicle of the dermis. This statement is correct.
Explanation:
Keratinocytes are in the stratum basale of the epidermis, which is the deepest layer of the epidermis; from this layer, they ascend to the stratum spinosum, then to the stratum granulosum, then to the stratum lucidum if the skin is thick like the one that is in our hands or soles, and lastly they end in the stratum corneum. While the keratinocytes move from one layer to the next one, they change their characteristics.
Keratinocytes are also in hair follicles, they are similar to the keratinocytes from the dermis, but have some differences, such as their reproduction capacity.
Answer:
The mRNA molecule will be synthesized running in the 5' to 3' direction.
Explanation:
From the DNA sequence:
5'-ATCGTACCGTTA-3'
3'-TAGCATGGCAAT-5'
mRNA sequence is
5'-AUCGUACCGUUA-3'
Amino acid sequence will thus be:
Ileu-val-pro-leu.
