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.

Photosynthesis is used to produce food for plants in the form of glucose. In the process, oxygen is released. As shown in the di
postnew [5]

Answer:

light is required to provide energy for photosynthesis

Explanation:

For photosynthesis to take place, it requires the presence of light and chlorophyll. The process has two stages; light and dark stage.

In the light stage, chlorophyll molecules absorb light energy which is used to split water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen atoms. The process is called photolysis.

water→ hydrogen atoms + oxygen.

The hydrogen atoms produced enter the dark stage while oxygen is released in the atmosphere. In the dark stage, carbon dioxide combines with the hydrogen atoms to form simple sugar such as glucose.

ndividuals III-6 and III-7 have two little monstersand are expecting a third one. Their two childrenhave two eyes. What is the c
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 75% or 3/4.

Explanation:

In the given question, there is a cross between III-6 and III-7 that produced two double eyes monsters and expected one more. As given in the image that the A or single eye is dominant over the a or double eye then both parents must be heterozygous as they produced double eye offspring (aa) and they do have only one eye.

then chances of single eye offspring would be -

cross: Aa and Aa

gametes: A, a and A, a

Punnett square:

           A      a

A         AA     Aa

a         Aa      aa

so there are 75% chances to have a single eye and 25% chances for a double eye.
