Answer:
In the mRNA sequence AUGGUGCAUGUC the maximum number of amino acids that can be encoded is 4 (option A).
Explanation:
Messenger RNA (mRNA) has a sequence of nitrogenous bases produced by the transcription of a DNA strand. This sequence of bases is organized in triplets or codons —made up of 3 nitrogenous bases— that can encode an amino acid, or mark the beginning or end —STOP codon—of protein synthesis.
From the sequence:
AUGGUGCAUGUC
Four codons are obtained, each of which encodes a different amino acid:
<em>Codons: AUG-GUG-CAU-GUC</em>
<em>Amino acids: Met - Val - His - Val</em>
<em>Methionine Valine Histidina and Valine are the four amino acids encoded by the 12 nucleotide sequence of the mRNA.</em>
Answer:
Cells are so little, so they can maximize their ratio of surface area to volume.
Explanation:
Smaller cells have a higher ratio which allows more molecules and ions to move across the cell membrane per unit of cytoplasmic volume. Cells are so small because they need to be able to get the nutrients in and the waste out quickly.
