A certain bacterial mRNA is known to represent only one gene and to contain about 800 nucleotides. If you assume that the averag
e amino acid residue contributes 110 to the peptide molecular weight, the largest polypeptide that this mRNA could code for would have a molecular weight of about _______.
A certain bacterial mRNA is known to represent only one gene and to contain about 800 nucleotides. If you assume that the average amino acid residue contributes 110 to the peptide molecular weight, the largest polypeptide that this mRNA could code for would have a molecular weight of about _______.
A) 800.
B) 5,000.
C) 30,000.
D) 80,000.
E) An upper limit cannot be determined from the data given
Answer:
c. 30,000
Explanation:
The gene has a total of 800 nucleotides and would be transcribed into an mRNA having about 800 nucleotides. The nucleotides of mRNA are read in the form of genetic triplets. This means that the mRNA with 800 nucleotides would have about 800/3= 266.66 or 266 genetic codes. This mRNA would be translated into a polypeptide chain having around 266 amino acids.
One amino acid contributes 110 to the molecular weight. The total molecular weight of the largest possible polypeptide that can be encoded by the said gene would b 266 x 110= 29260 (around 30,000).
There would be a much more severe cause of global warming if there is a sudden increase in greenhouses gases. With greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide, the heat of the earth cannot be penetrated through the atmosphere and will be trapped, the sunlight also cannot be reflected.
Answer - C. The time required for the Succession to Occur
Reasoning - Behind my answer is because the time the succession evolves and grows to build life and progress to improve and expand in each certain time period.
