Answer:

C. Gly-Ser-Arg

Explanation:

Gene expression is an important process in living cells as it involves the synthesis of useful products (proteins) needed for optimal functioning of the cell. Gene expression occurs in two major stages viz: transcription and translation. Transcription involves the synthesis of a mRNA molecule using a DNA template.

Translation, on the other hand, occurs in the ribosome (organnelle for protein synthesis). The mRNA molecule produced during transcription is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON. Each codon specifies a particular amino acid i.e. as one codon is read, one amino acid is added to the polypeptide chain (future protein).

Based on this, a mRNA molecule with a sequence: GGU AGC CGG is composed of three codons, which codes for three amino acids. Using the genetic code provided as an attachment to this question,

Codon GGU codes for Glycine (Gly) amino acid

Codon AGC codes for Serine (Ser) amino acid

Codon CGG codes for Arginine (Arg) amino acid.

Hence, GGU AGC CGG mRNA sequence will synthesize an amino acid sequence: Gly-Ser-Arg.

If 1/8 remains after 21 years, what is the half-life?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Half life formula

The number of unstable nuclei remaining after time t can be determined according to this equation:

N(t) = N(0) * 0.5^(t/T)

where:

N(t) is the remaining quantity of a substance after time t has elapsed.

N(0) is the initial quantity of this substance.

T is the half-life.

It is also possible to determine the remaining quantity of a substance using a few other parameters:

N(t) = N(0) * e^(-t/τ)

N(t) = N(0) * e^(-λt)

τ is the mean lifetime - the average amount of time a nucleus remains intact.

λ is the decay constant (rate of decay).

All three of the parameters characterizing a substance's radioactivity are related in the following way:

T = ln(2)/λ = ln(2)*τ

How to calculate the half life

Determine the initial amount of a substance. For example, N(0) = 2.5 kg.

Determine the final amount of a substance - for instance, N(t) = 2.1 kg.

Measure how long it took for that amount of material to decay. In our experiment, we observed that it took 5 minutes.

Input these values into our half life calculator. It will compute a result for you instantaneously - in this case, the half life is equal to 19.88 minutes.

If you are not certain that our calculator returned the correct result, you can always check it using the half life formula.

frozen [14]
Both use oxygen, both produce energy, both give out carbon dioxide as the result and the overall chemical reactions are the same.

Please help me!!! 26 POINTS !!!!<br> what would happen to an ecosystem without nitrifying bacteria?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Microbes. Bacteria, for example, convert nitrogen and carbon dioxide from the air into usable components that plants and animals can use as essential building blocks. A loss of all microbes would be terrible news for living organisms that can't create or take in these essential nutrients on their own.

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

In G2 phase (third phase of interphase) of cell division, following the S phase. It is during the S phase of the cell division during which the DNA of the cell replicates. Hence, in the G2 has double the DNA range as compared to the DNA range in prior stages of interphase. Also, in G2 phase cell grows and protein synthesize
