A transcription unit that is 8,000 nucleotides long may use 1,200 nucleotides to make a protein consisting of approximately 400

amino acids. This is best explained by the fact that
A) many noncoding stretches of nucleotides are present in mRNA.
B) there is redundancy and ambiguity in the genetic code.
C) many nucleotides are needed to code for each amino acid.
D) nucleotides break off and are lost during the transcription process.
E) there are termination exons near the beginning of mRNA.

Answer:

A) many noncoding stretches of nucleotides are present in mRNA.

Explanation:

A transcription unit in eukaryotes includes the region that code for mRNA extending from the 5' cap site to the 3' poly-A site. It also includes the controlling regions. The mRNA formed by transcription also has some non-coding intervening sequences. These are called introns. Introns are removed from the primary transcripts by the process of splicing that occurs after transcription.

Therefore, a transcription unit that is 8,000 nucleotides long may use only 1,200 nucleotides to code for a protein having 400 amino acids since the rest of the nucleotides are part of introns and are removed from mRNA after transcription.

How is the inside surface area maximized in each animal dogfish shark?
Alexus [3.1K]
The inside surface area is shaped in a crescent. It consists of a spiral valve which is made up of the small intestine. Although the dogfish shark has a relatively short small intestine compared to other animals, therefore, the spiral valve allows for a more compact form of the small intestine.
Hence, this structure provides maximum surface area over a relatively short distance in order to make the absorption of nutrients efficient achieved from the food, the sharks had from eating different sea animals.

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Radioactive labeling is a procedure used to monitor the path followed by a chemical element within  a biological system to demonstrate the source.

Hypothesis:

The free oxygen produced during photosynthesis comes from water.

Procedure.

Single-celled algae were placed in four petri dishes containing carbon dioxide, glucose dissolved in  Water.

In each box the oxygen was radioactively marked.

1 petri dish with CO2 marked. Experimental groups

2 petri dish with H2O marked. Experimental groups

3 petri dish with Glucose marked. Experimental groups (control)

4 petri dish with CO2 + H2O + Glucose, all marked. (control).
