Answer: D) The amount of air in a room never changes.

Explanation: Equilibrium is defined as the state in which the concentration of reactants and products is constant or the rate of forward direction is equal to the rate of backward direction.

a) The percentage of nitrogen gas in a room decreases steadily: the amount decreases that means the reaction is taking place in one direction and hence the reaction is not in equilibrium.

b) A blade of grass grows taller : the plant gets taller that means the reaction is taking place in one direction and hence the reaction is not in equilibrium.

c) The amount of water in a cup decreases as it evaporates: The amount of water is decreasing that means the reaction is taking place in one direction and hence the reaction is not in equilibrium.

d) The amount of air in a room never changes: the amount of air does not change as the amount of air leaving the room is same as that of the air entering the room and hence the reaction is in equilibrium.

The theory that earth's rocks formed in a global flood followed by uplifting of some rock over a short period is called

nekit [7.7K]

The answer is catastrophism.

Catastrophism is a theory explaining that the Earth has been affected by sudden catastrophes which created its geological features. Some of the proposed catastrophes is a global flood followed by an uplifting of some rock which happened sudden, in a short period of time. It is opposite theory to uniformitarianism which explains that the Earth was formed in slow changes.

Nady [450]

Answer:

Valine-Leucine-Proline-Lysine-Histidine

Explanation:

The central dogma of biology is the process by which DNA is used to synthesize RNA and subsequently amino acid sequence (PROTEIN). The processes of transcription and translation is used in gene expression. Transcription is the process whereby the information encoded in a DNA molecule is used to synthesize a mRNA molecule. Transcription is catalyzed by RNA polymerase enzyme, which uses complementary base pairing rule i.e Adenine(A)-Thymine(T), Guanine(G)-Cytosine(C) pairing.

N.B: Thymine is replaced by Uracil in the mRNA

For the above DNA sequence: CAC GAC GGA TTC GTA, the mRNA sequence will be: GUG CUG CCU AAG CAU

Translation is the second process of gene expression which involves the synthesis of an amino acid sequence from an mRNA molecule. The mRNA is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON. Each codon specifies an amino acid (see attached image for genetic code)

Based on the attached genetic code, an mRNA sequence: GUG CUG CCU AAG CAU will encode an amino acid sequence: Valine(Val) - Leucine (Leu) -Proline (Pro) -Lysine (Lys) - Histidine (His).

GUG specifies Valine amino acid

CUG specifies Leucine amino acid

CCU specifies Proline amino acid

AAG specifies Lysine amino acid

CAU specifies Histidine amino acid
