In prokaryotes, how does the length of a typical monocistronic mRNA compare to the length of the protein generated from this mRN

A? a. There are more mRNA bases than amino acids. b. There are more amino acids than mRNA bases. c. The number of amino acids and the number of mRNA bases are roughly the same.Which of the following statements support the previous conclusion that there are more mRNA bases than amino acids? NOTE: While there may be some rare exceptions that don't support the conclusion, choose statements that typically support the conclusion Select all that apply. a. The mRNA contains a poly-A tail. b. The stop codon does not code for an amino acid. c. The start site of transcription is upstream of the start codon. d. The mRNA contains 5' and 3 untranslated regions. e. O Introns have been removed in the mRNA. f. Each codon contains 3 RNA bases. g. The mRNA contains a 7-methylguanosine cap.

1. The correct answer is: a. There are more mRNA bases than amino acids.

The transcription of monocistronic mRNA in prokaryotes is a rare process (it is more characteristic for the eukaryotes). Monocistronic mRNA is RNA, which encodes for only one or specific protein. Three bases of mRNA encode one amino acid of protein, thus it has more bases than amino acids of the final product, protein.  

2. The correct statements are:  

The mRNA contains 5' and 3' untranslated regions.

The stop codon does not code for an amino acid.

The start site of transcription is upstream of the start codon.

Each codon contains 3 RNA bases.

All of these approve that more bases are in mRNA since not all of them are translated into amin oacids.

Other statements are hallmarks of eukaryotic RNA processing, and therefore not relevant to prokaryotes.

How many cell divisions occur during meiosis?
Dvinal [7]
During meiosis, two successive nuclear divisions happens namely Meiosis I or reduction and Meiosis II or division. In meiosis I, it separate chromosomes after allowing crossing over. In meiosis II, it the then separates each chromosomes by splitting them. This division produces 4 haploid cells.

What are the two basic differences between DNA and rna
mars1129 [50]

One difference is that DNA is a double strand and RNA is a single strand. Another difference is that sugar in a RNA molecule is ribose, and the sugar in the molecule in DNA is called deoxyribose. Hope this helps, good luck!

A population of Anolis lizards lives on the mainland. During a storm, three groups of Anolis migrate to three islands, one large
natka813 [3]

Answer:

(i) Small island

(ii) Large island

(iii) Option-3

Explanation:

In the given question, the three population of the Anoles Lizards migrated to three islands of different size.

(i) Genetic drift is a random or by the chance process which changes the frequency of the alleles in the population. The change in the frequency of the allele can be easily observed in the small population therefore the small island with the smallest size of the population will have the strongest genetic drift.

(ii) Heterozygosity of alleles that is with a dominant and a recessive allele is the result of the exchange of alleles in the population. The size of the population is finite on the island therefore the heterozygosity is not introduced in the small population but in a large population, it can be introduced as the mating is random.

(iii) The genetic drift is strongest on the small island therefore L2 allele can be easily influenced by this effect. The selection coefficient is very small that is 0.002 therefore no mutation is occurring on the island.
