I need to perform RNA transcription and translation on this strand of DNA, given that the mRNA is the opposite of this DNA stran

d (whatever that means):
TACACCCGATGCGCTCGAAGTATGCTAGATCGATGCGTCACCGTCGTCCGTAGTGTAGCTAGCGTAATC

I was also given the codon chart given to convert mRNA into amino acids:

Well, basically when it says that the strand of mRNA is the opposite to DNA it means that the nitrogenous bases of DNA complement or follow base pairing rules to form the strand of mRNA.

In mRNA
A - U
G - C
T - thymine is absent and is replaced with U - uracil in mRNA.
The thymine bases in DNA are base paired with A - adenine in the mRNA strand.

So the mRNA strand would be the following :

AUGUGGGCUACGCGAGCUUCAUACGAUCUAGCUACGCAGUGGCAGCAGGCAUCACAUCGAUCGCAUUAG.

So, now that we know that this is the mRNA strand, and assuming that the top or the first part is the 5' region and the final end of the mRNA is the 3' region

Group three 3 nucleotides together in the mRNA strand and find the amino acid that the first 3 would represent in this case AUG would represent the start codon or methionine in this case it would be the start, the next would be UGG, etc, do this until you reach the final set of 3 nucleotides and the final product would be a protein consisting of whatever other amino acids were represented by the codon or 1 set of 3 nucleotides on the mRNA strand.

1. . Wht are receptors? Name the receptors in (a) nose (b) taste buds.
hoa [83]

Receptors in the nose are olfactory receptors and they are the things that basically give you the ability to smell different smells.

Receptors kind of allow you to feel or smell or hear etc.

Receptors in the taste buds are simply taste receptors, they help you taste different foods and such.

Secondary structures are stabilized by which type of interaction?
Brrunno [24]
This pertains to the structure of proteins. Secondary structures are stabilized by the presence of hydrogen bonds. The common types of secondary structures of proteins are the alpha helix and the beta sheets, each performing different functions. 

Primary structure of protein is the peptide molecule comprised of peptide bonds. Once these peptide grows long enough, it will either be arranged into alpha helices or beta sheets stabilized by hydrogen bonds and this is the secondary structure. Once there is protein folding involved in the secondary structure of protein, then the folded protein is called the tertiary structure (or a protein subunit). When protein subunits come together to perform a specific function, then that is the quaternary structure.

Attached is a figure concerning the protein structures.

Eukaryotes can have both the mitochondria and chloroplasts.<br> True<br> O False
Bingel [31]
Mitochondria and chloroplast are two organelles found in eukaryotic cells. Chloroplast is only found in plants while majority of eukaryotic cells have mitochondria. Even though both organelles are found in eukaryotic cells, both mitochondria and chloroplast have characteristics often found in prokaryotic cells.

Plants cannot release energy from glucose using Select one: a. glycolysis. b. photosynthesis. c. the Krebs cycle. d. cellular re
sergey [27]

Answer: Option B) Photosynthesis

Explanation:

It is impossible for plants to release energy from glucose using photosynthesis because photosynthesis results in the formation of sugar molecules such as glucose.

6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2 + Energy

From the equation, photosynthesis is seen to as a biosynthethic reaction not a catabolic one.

Thus, it produces energy-rich compounds like glucose not otherwise
