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.

Explain why a controlled (scheduled) cell cycle is essential to life

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Control of the cell cycle is necessary for different reasons. When the cell cycle are not regulated, cells could constantly undergo cell division without any form of control which will lead to cancer.

Internal regulation of the cell cycle is necessary to alert the passage of one phase to the next at a set given time. This helps in the overall metabolism of the body.

Boreal owls range over a much larger area than do other owls of similar size. The reason for this behavior is probably that the

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

(B) Boreal owls range over larger areas in regions where food of the sort eaten by small mammals is sparse than they do in regions where such food is abundant

Explanation:

Living beings exhibit various changes in the behavior and niche to make themselves better fitted to the conditions of their habitats.

Boreal owls feed on the other smaller mammals such as mice and shrews. These organisms that serve as their prey are relatively less abundant in the habitat. To ensure the food availability, the boreal owls occupy a larger area so that they can catch their less abundant food organisms.

In the habitats where the prey species of boreal owls are present in a larger number, these owls occupy smaller regions since the food organisms are easily available.

If a mutation occurs such that photosystem ii no longer functions as efficiently as it should, what might be most directly affec

ivolga24 [154]

Out of the following given choices;

a) The amount of oxygen produced

b) The rate of ATP synthesis by ATP synthase in the chloroplast

c) The rate at which NADPH is produced

d) The rate at which the protons are transported into the thylakoid

The answer is; A

The photosystem captures energy from sunlight and uses it to split a water molecule. After splitting the water molecule (by taking an electron), the protein complex transports the electron to plastoquinone. The splitting of water molecules results in evolving of oxygen molecules. The hydrogen is what is used to reduce carbon dioxide to glucose.
