If a tRNA molecule has an anticodon which reads AUG, what was the codon of the mRNA molecule?
Troyanec [42]

Answer: UAC

Explanation: transfer RNA(tRNA) is the type of RNA that interprets the messenger RNA(mRNA) code during translation. The job of tRNA is to match up the amino acids with the correct codons in the mRNA strand. According to the base pair rule for RNA, Adenine and Uracil (A - U) are base complements while Guanine and Cytosine (G - C) are base complements. So if;

mRNA: AUG

then,

tRNA: UAC.

The stages of mitosis were originally defined by cellular features observable through a light microscope.
Brrunno [24]

Answer: TRUE

Explanation:

The cell division that takes place during the growth and development of an organism is in an as MITOSIS. Mitosis takes place in somatic cells that is, body cells that are not involved in the production of gametes. The difference stages of mitosis were originally defined by cellular features observable through a LIGHT MICROSCOPE. These stages includes:

--> PROPHASE: when viewed under a light microscope, each chromosome shortens and thickens and is seen to consist of two chromatids. The Centriole begin to separate.

--> METAPHASE: The nuclear membrane disappears, a spindle forms, the chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell and become attached to the spindle fibres at their centromeres.

--> ANAPHASE: The sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite ends of cell as the spindle fibres contract.

--> TELOPHASE: A nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromatids, and the cell divides into two daughter cells.

You take a human smooth muscle cell and block the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. What effect does that have
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The correct option is E) Contraction still occurs because Ca2+ can enter the cell directly through Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane and bind to calmodulin.

Usually, the calcium ions are released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of a cell during a muscle contraction, but if those are blocked, the contractions is an cell can still arise through the calcium ions which are present in the cell membrane of a cell.

const2013 [10]

Answer: Because two or more daughter cells will be formed, and each must have the parent chromosome in itself

Explanation:

Cell undergo cell division (mitosis or meiosis) as part of healthy development of a living organism. Before division, the cell during the resting phase( Interphase) makes two copies of all its organelles including nucleus, as it would form two daughter cells (in mitosis) or four daughter cells (in meiosis)
