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.

Most of the nucleated cells in a multicellular organism contain all of the genetic information for the organism. Which of the fo
vova2212 [387]

<u>Answer</u>: Sperm cell

<u>Explanation</u>:

Amongst all the 4 options given, only the Sperm cell is a gamete (sex cell) while all the three are somatic cells.

  • A <em>somatic</em> cell is the one which forms the body of an organism and contains all the genetic information.
  • A <em>gamete</em> is the one which is required for the purpose of fertilization. A gamete of male fuses with the gamete of female in a process called fertilization to form a zygote to give rise to a new individual.
  • A Sperm cell is basically a <em>male gamete.</em> It contains only half the amount of genetic information as the other half is contributed by the female gamete.
  • This difference in the amount of genetic information arises due to the type of cell division that occurs. The somatic cells undergo mitosis whereas a gamete requires meiosis to occur for its formation.
  • During mitosis there is a single round of cell division which divides the parent cell into two daughter cells each with the <em>complete genetic information</em>.
  • During meiosis the cell undergoes two rounds of cell division such that a total lf 4 cells are produced each <em>with half the amount of genetic material </em>as present in the parent cell.

Since, <em>sperm is a male gamete and is formed by meiosis it contains only half the genetic information as compared to the other cells.</em>

Mary is campaigning for improved air quality in her city. She is very concerned about carbon and methane outputs, but not phosph
Galina-37 [17]

The answer is; D

Carbon dioxide and methane are potent greenhouse gases. They cause heating of the lower atmosphere, by trapping sunlight, that results to climate change. Due to the higher melting and boiling temperatures of phosphorus, it is rare that it occurs as gas in room temperatures. Phosphorus, therefore, does not pose a great threat of climate change.
