Answer:

The correct answer is a) a) phenylalanine

Explanation:

Every triplet codon in the mRNA codes for an amino acid. These amino acids are attached to the acceptor arm of a tRNA. Each tRNA carries a specific amino acid according to the sequence of anticodon it has which is complementary to the triplet codon present on mRNA.

A new tRNA enters through A site of a ribosome and P site is occupied by a previous tRNA. Therefore a new tRNA binds to the next three triplet codon of mRNA when it moves towards the P site.

CAU is the codon that codes for histidine(5 GACCAUUUUUGA 3) amino acid and in the question P site have tRNA with histidine as attached amino acid so the next three codons are UUU(5 GACCAUUUUUGA 3) which codes for phenylalanine so a tRNA that have attached phenylalanine will enter through A site of the ribosome.

Answer:

a) phenylalanine

Explanation:

A triplet codon results into a particular amino acid. mRNA is read in 5' to 3' direction during translation. tRNA carrying an amino acid enters the A site first. Then a peptide bond is formed between the new and old amino acid. The polypeptide along with the tRNA moves to P site while the now empty old tRNA moves from P to E site and exits. Hence a tRNA is first in A site followed by P site and then finally E site.

Here, a tRNA with histidine amino acid is present in the P site. From the given sequence, only CAU codon can result into histidine. So if CAU region is present in P site that means that UUU will be present in A site. UUU codes for phenylalanine amino acid so the tRNA entering the A site will carry phenylalanine.

The dental formula for fetal pig is? and explain what does mean?
asambeis [7]

Temporary teeth

I - 3/3  C - 1/1  P - 4/4  M - 0/0 = 16 x 2 = 32

Permanent teeth

I - 3/3  C - 1/1  P - 4/4  M - 3/3 = 22 x 2 = 44

where I = incisors, C = canines, P = premolars and M = molars

Dental formula can be defined as the number of teeth on one side of the upper jaw over the number the same type of the number of teeth at the lower jaw. Thus, the formula is for one side of the mouth and the total number of teeth is the total in the formula multiply by 2.
