uppose that a scientist performed an mRNA mixed copolymer experiment to decode the nonstandard genetic code of a recently discov

ered species of archaea. The mixture used to synthesize the mRNA contained four parts uracil (U) and one part cytosine (C) nucleotides. The polypeptide translated from this mRNA contained only phenylalanine, serine, leucine, and proline. From previous experiments, the scientist already knew that the organism's genetic code is a triplet code, like the genetic code of humans. Furthermore, the scientist knew that all codons starting with UU code for phenylalanine, UC code for serine, CC code for proline, and CU code for leucine. Using this information, calculate the percentage of amino acids in the polypeptide expected to be composed of serine.

Answer: The percentage of serine in the hypothetical polypetide is 16%.

Explanation: Given the proportions of uracil and cytosine nucleotides 4/5 U and 1/5 C. According to probabilities, specifically permutation. We can multiply the proportions to get the probabilities of obtaining the codons. In this case for UC equivalent to serine, would be 4/5 * 1/5= 4/25 this is the same as 16% .

Which type of movement occurs in the intercarpal joint in the wrist? which type of movement occurs in the intercarpal joint in t
avanturin [10]

The answer is gliding movement. The intercarpal joints are the articulations in the middle of the individual carpal bones. They are also known as plane synovial joints. This is one example of a gliding joint. These allow the bones to glide past one another in any course along the plane of the joint – up and down, left and right, and crosswise.

Which noncoding RNAs are correctly matched with their function?
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

a. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) bind to complementary sequences in mRNA and block its translation.

b. Piwi-associated RNAs (piRNAs) reestablish appropriate methylation patterns in the genome during gamete formation.

Explanation:

MicroRNAs

These are the small non-coding RNA molecule. These RNA consist of about 22 nucleotides. MicroRNAs are found in animals, plants and some viruses,

MiRNAs function

MicroRNAs also represented as miRNA function through base-pairing with complementary sequences of mRNA molecules. Due to this base pairing it functions as RNA silencing and regulation of gene expression.

Piwi-interacting RNA

piRNA expressed in animal cell. piRNA are the small non-coding RNA molecules which form RNA-protein complexes.

Piwi-interacting RNA Function:

Function of these complexes are epigenetic and post-transcriptional silencing of transposons.

Small interfering RNA :

siRNA molecules are the small pieces of double-stranded (ds) RNA. There length is about 21 nucleotides long. siRNA have 3' (3 prime) overhangs

Small interfering RNA Function:

siRNA overhangs are used to "interfere" protein translation. They perform this function by binding and degradation of mRNA at specific sequences
