A strand of DNA that is 36 nucleotides long codes for how many amino acids?

Biology

Margarita [4]3 years ago

Answer:

See answer below

Explanation:

Hi there,

Assuming this DNA strand is fully capable of being mature mRNA (5' m7G cap and PolyA tail), nucleotides lead to an mRNA codon, which is 3 nucleotides per codon. In turn, 1 codon leads to 1 amino acid. However, as a single strand, it must be capable of terminating translation, which always requires a stop codon, and thus 3 nucleotides. Hence, we must subtract this from the total amount of codons <em>first</em>.

36 \ ncltd \ \frac{1 \ codon}{3 \ ncltd} = 12 \ codon\\12 \ codon - 1 \ codon \  = 11 \ codon\\11 \ codons\ \frac{1 A.A.}{1 \ codon}  = 11 \ A. A.

Hence, only 11 amino acids will be coded by a single DNA strand 36 ncltd long.

thanks,

What does the nucleus of the cell control?
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

cell growth and manipulation

Explanation:

The nucleus of the cell controls cell growth and manipulation. This involves regulating gene expression, initiating cellular reproduction, and storing genetic material necessary for all of these tasks. In order for a nucleus to carry out important reproductive roles and other cell activities, it needs proteins and ribosomes.

Explain how the resting potential is created and maintained. (sodium potassium pump) What happens when sodium comes in and potas
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The resting membrane potential is created and maintained due to the difference in the total charge or ions present outside and inside of the cell. The resting membrane potential depolarize if sodium come in and and potassium leaves the cell.

Explanation:

The resting membrane is maintained and created by the distribution of potassium and sodium ions. The membrane potential of a resting cell is -70mV (negative) because more sodium ions is present outside the cell than the potassium ions present inside the cell.

When the sodium ions enter inside the cell and potassium ions move outside the cell, the inside of the cell becomes more positive as compared to the outside and the membrane potential changes from -70 mV to +30 mV. The cells will depolarize due to the accumulation of sodium ions inside the cell.

5. There is a solid wooden table with a cup of water sitting on it. Which of the following statements
White raven [17]

Answer: Option D.

The atoms and molecules of the liquid water are moving, and the atoms and molecules of the

table are not moving.

Explanation:

The atoms and molecules of the liquid water are moving, and the atoms and molecules of the table are not moving and this is because the atoms and molecules of liquid water are closely packed together and they collide to each other often, thereby moving in random motion in all directions.

The molecules of solid cannot move because they are closely packed together and there is a very strong of attraction which make them to only vibrate and not move and this make solid to have definite shape.
