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

Biology

Margarita [4]3 years ago
3 0

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,

The greenhouse and enhanced greenhouse effects refer to the return of approximately ______ percent and greater than ______ perce
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The greenhouse and enhanced greenhouse effects refer to the return of approximately <u>80</u> percent and greater than <u>80</u> percent of the heat radiated by Earth.

Explanation:

During natural greenhouse effect :

. Solar radiation reaches the earth

. Re-radiation of heat occurs

. Less re-emitted heat

. More heath escapes into space

Hence the greenhouse effect refers to return of 80% of heat radiated by Earth.

While during Human Enhanced Greenhouse effect :

. Solar radiation reaches earth

. Re-radiation of heat occurs

. More re-emitted heat

. Less heat escapes into space

Hence the enhanced greenhouse effect refers to return of more than 80% of heat radiated by Earth .

What can you conclude about the advantage of the cell membrane being made up of phospholipids?
sergiy2304 [10]
The phospholipid bilayer is a universal component of all cell membranes. Each phospholipid molecule has a hydrophobic(water repelling) and a hydrophilic( attracted to water) end. This allows the phospholipids to arrange themselves in a way that makes a cell membrane not able to dissolve in water. The bilayer is also semi-permeable which allows only certain molecules to enter the cell.

garik1379 [7]
The answer would be a panic attack.

The panic attack causes the person activates the sympathetic system that them sweating and breathing fast. 
Rapid breathing will cause many CO2 removed than normal, lead to lower level of CO2 in the blood. Carbon dioxide makes the blood more acid, so lower level of CO2 will make the blood become basic, cause respiratory alkalosis which causes the numbness in feet and hands.
