Answer:

The correct answer is b.  an amino acid

Explanation:

A tRNA is called adaptor RNA which have cloverleaf-like secondary structures. These structures contain stems and loops which make up the acceptor arm, anticodon stem and loop, D- stem and loop, and T- stem and loop.

Acceptor arm contains seven base pairs and four single stranded nucleotide which include conserved CCA sequence. The function of acceptor arm is attach amino acids require for  protein synthesis.

The anticodon loop gives information to acceptor to attach a specific amino acid according to the sequence present in mRNA. The first amino acid which attaches to acceptor arm is methionine.

Thus, the correct answer is b. an amino acid.

Why would it be expected that a swordfish would exhibit higher methyl mercury levels than a tilapia? (site 2)
kirill [66]

Answer:

Answer is explained below;

Explanation:

Mercury is a liquid metal that is released into the environment by both natural processes such as volcanic activity, weathering of rocks, etc and human activities such as waste materials from factories. The mercury that reaches the ocean and other water sources is converted into methylmercury by bacteria. Methylmercury is a neurotoxin that interferes with the nervous system and is easily absorbed by the human body.

The methylmercury is taken up by planktons. Small fishes consume large quantities of plankton. Tilapia is a small, short-lived freshwater fish. The methylmercury level in tilapia is lower than that of other fish. When large, long-living predatory fishes such as tuna, shark, king mackerel, swordfish, etc consume many smaller fish with low mercury levels, this causes accumulation of methylmercury at extremely high levels in their tissues over time i.e., the amount of mercury in such bigger fish biomagnifies.  

So large, long-lived predators like swordfish and shark often have the highest methyl mercury levels than a small, short-lived tilapia.

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

B) Messenger RNA

Explanation:

Messenger RNA [mRNA] molecules carry the coding sequences for protein synthesis and are called transcripts.Ribosomal RNA [rRNA] molecules form the core of a cell's ribosomes [the structures in which protein synthesis takes place] and transfer RNA [mRNA] molecules carry amino acids to the ribosomes during protein
