Answer: <u>Option D; 150 Nucleotides </u>

Amino acids have their codons in form of set of three nucleotides. So if there are 51 amino acids, it means the number of nucleotides would be -

1 amino acid = 3 bases/ nucleotides

51 amino acids = 51 * 3 = 153 nucleotides

Since the nearest answer is 150, option D is the correct answer.

This is the basic concept of relation between DNA and protein synthesis.

Kilo calories is a higher unit of energy measurement as compared to the kilo joules.

In one kilo calorie there are 4.184 times kilo joules.

Mathematically, it can be written as

1 KCal = 4.184 Kilo joules

1 Kilo joules is equal to

\frac{1}{4.184} kilo calories

Which is the best hypothesis for the scientific question “How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis?”
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Without enough light, a plant cannot photosynthesise very quickly

Explanation:

Without enough light, a plant cannot photosynthesise very quickly - even if there is plenty of water and carbon dioxide and a suitable temperature. Increasing the light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis, until some other factor - a limiting factor - becomes in short supply.
