Which two codons in the mRNA represent the amino acid phenylalanine

Biology
1 answer:
Trava [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

UUU and UUC

Explanation:

Information that encodes certain functional products called PROTEIN are present in the DNA molecule. However, the information needs to be expressed via the processes of transcription and translation. Transcription is the synthesis of a mRNA using a DNA template.

The mRNA then undergoes translation, where it is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON. Each CODON specifies a particular amino acid. Due to the degenerate nature of the genetic code, more than one codon can specify one amino acid.

Hence, in the case of phenylalanine amino acid, codons UUU and UUC both specify it. This means that whenever UUU and UUC are read during translation, a phenylalanine is added to the peptide chain.

Compare and contrast an ecosystem driven by photosynthesis to an ecosystem driven by chemosynthesis.
DerKrebs [107]

Both chemosynthesis and photosynthesis are processes used to create food.

Photosynthesis is a process plants use to create food (glucose), in which plants convert light energy into chemical energy.  

Chemosynthesis is the process by which food (glucose) is made by bacteria using chemicals instead of light energy.

An ecosystem driven by photosynthesis requires sunlight in order to perform photosynthesis.  An ecosystem driven by chemosynthesis does not require sunlight.  instead, chemosynthesis requires bacteria or other living organisms that derive energy from reactions involving inorganic chemicals.

During a visit to a hospital, a child receives the oral polio vaccine. He then returns to his distant village. Sometime later a
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Because the child was vaccinated against this disease, the germs are not able to travel from one person to the other, and the family in this case, is less likely to get the disease. Even his siblings, that didn't get the vaccine, will get some protection from getting sick. This is known as community immunity.

antoniya [11.8K]
I found the attached image on the internet related to this question.
The solid arrows represent neuronal communication. The stimulus, the effects, and the flow of information is all done by receptors and synapses that send a signals across the body in order to have effective feedback responses promoting the homeostasis of the organism.
