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.

Why is a key bed used?
Anna11 [10]
In geology, a key bed (syn marker bed) is a relatively thin layer of sedimentary rock that is readily recognized on the basis of either its distinct physical characteristics or fossil content and can be mapped over a very large geographic area.[1] As a result, a key bed is useful for correlating sequences of sedimentary rocks over a large area. Typically, key beds were created as the result of either instantaneous events or (geologically speaking) very short episodes of the widespread deposition of a specific types of sediment. As the result, key beds often can be used for both mapping and correlating sedimentary rocks and dating them. Volcanic ash beds ( and bentonite beds) and impact spherule beds, and specific megaturbidites are types of key beds created by instantaneous events. The widespread accumulation of distinctive sediments over a geologically short period of time have created key beds in the form of peat beds, coal beds, shell beds, marine bands, black  in cyclothems, and oil shales. A well-known example of a key bed is the global layer of iridium-rich impact ejecta that marks the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary (K–T boundary). Please let me know if it works.

How are homeostasis and cellular respiration mutually dependent on one another?
Arturiano [62]

Cellular respiration describes the process of oxygen and glucose and converting into water and carbon dioxide. Homeostasis is a term which refers to biological processes in which living things must maintain stable and equal conditions for survival. Cellular respiration which uses oxygen and glucose must be able to sustain life by releasing energy which is called ATP, the ATP which is produced enables many biological processes that keeps organisms alive. Cells need energy to grow, move, and function. The process of homeostasis enables cellular respiration to produce enough molecules which can sustain the development of the cell. Without homeostasis cellular respiration would cease to function and without cellular respiration the process of homeostasis would not occur. Homeostasis regulates how much molecules have to be expended in order to produce energy for the process of cellular respiration.
