Image is not available in the question so, the correct image is attached below.

Answer:

D. codes for a specific trait

Explanation:

chromosome is defined as a DNA molecule found in the nucleus of most living cells which carry genes and transfer the genetic information.

The part labelled b in the image is gene. The function of gene is to code for a specific trait.

Genes are responsible for carrying traits that  form the genotype and phenotype of an organism. where genotype shows the differences in genetic formation and phenotype shows observable characters in an individual such as color, height and features.

Hence, the correct option is D.

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

A. Species that remained after the extinction were able to radiate, new adaptations arose, and these adaptations produced the diversity seen today.  

Explanation:

When species went extinct they also left niches that could be occupied by "new" species; new places to live, places to be filled in the food web and different relationships to be formed. The wide availability of resources made organisms to radiate leading to a "new" diversity of shapes, sizes, and lifestyles.  

B. Species that have gone extinct were able to re-evolve from the ancestors that survived the extinction.  If you are extinct you are gone forever.  

C. Species that remained after the extinction were unable to speciate. Therefore, the number of species on Earth today is lower than the number of species present just before either extinction. The fossil record proves that species have changed over time and the diversity has changed over the history of Earth.

D. Species that remained after the extinction represented all of the lineages that were present before the extinction event. Therefore, extinction did not change the diversity of lineages. Again, the fossil record is evidence that lineages have changed over the history of the Earth.

An RNA sequence includes 12 nitrogenous bases, AUGGUGCAUGUC. What is the maximum number of amino acids for which this sequence c
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

In the mRNA sequence AUGGUGCAUGUC the maximum number of amino acids that can be encoded is 4 (option A).

Explanation:

Messenger RNA (mRNA) has a sequence of nitrogenous bases produced by the transcription of a DNA strand. This sequence of bases is organized in triplets or codons —made up of 3 nitrogenous bases— that can encode an amino acid, or mark the beginning or end —STOP codon—of protein synthesis.

From the sequence:

AUGGUGCAUGUC

Four codons are obtained, each of which encodes a different amino acid:

<em>Codons:          AUG-GUG-CAU-GUC</em>

<em>Amino acids:  Met - Val - His - Val</em>

<em>Methionine Valine Histidina and Valine are the four amino acids encoded by the 12 nucleotide sequence of the mRNA.</em>

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Explanation:

Transcription and translation The information stored in a gene's DNA is transferred to a similar molecule called RNA (ribonucleic acid) in the cell nucleus during the transcription process. During protein synthesis, translation is the process of converting the sequence of a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule to a sequence of amino acids. The genetic code describes the relationship between the base pair sequence in a gene and the amino acid sequence that it encodes.
