Answer is C - crust, mantle, outer core, inner core.

Crust -

Crust is the outermost layer. The thickness of the crust is about 5 - 70 km.

Mantle -

Mantle is the second layer from the Earth's surface. Thickness is about 2890 km.

Mantle can be divided into two parts as upper mantle and lower mantle.

Outer core -

The thickness is about 2400 km. It is made from mostly iron and nickel.

Inner core -

The innermost part of the Earth is inner core. Mainly made from iron-nickel alloy. It is solid sphere which has a radius about 1220 km.

Which one is the best description of a chemical reaction?

Ber [7]

The correct answer for this question is C - the best description of a chemical reaction from the answers offered here is that it consists of the forming and breaking of bonds between particles. There are not any atoms destroyed in a chemical reaction, so B and C are incorrect, and although mixing two substances together (as specified in A) could produce a chemical reaction, this is not the best way of describing the actual chemical process.

Below is a mature eukaryotic mRNA transcript. Translate this mRNA into a protein, also showing the tRNA anticodons involved. Mak

diamong [38]

Answer:

mRNA ⇒ 5'GMU UAC AUG CGG CUC AGU UGA GGC GAA AAA A 3'

tRNA ⇒ UAC GCC GAG UCA ACU

protein ⇒ N - MET ARG LEU SER Stop - C

Explanation:

In protein synthesis, the ribosome reads mRNA in the 5´ to 3´ direction, and, according to the codons that are being readen, tRNA transfers the correct amino acids to build the polypeptide chain. A codon is a short sequence of three nucleotides that store the genetic information for the aminoacids´ assembly. Each tRNA has two important sites. One of them that couples with the codon of the mRNA molecule, named anticodon. The other site couples with an amino acid. tRNA allows amino acids to align according to the nucleotidic sequence in the mRNA molecule.

Once the new amino acid links to the growing peptidic chain, the binding between the amino acid and the tRNA molecule breaks. The tRNA is now free to join another amino acid and repeat the cycle.

The protein is synthesized from the amino terminus to the carboxy terminus, while the added amino acids to the chain are coded by a codon formed by three bases in the mRNA. mARNs also have a start and end codon that are the signals of the synthesis initiation and finish. When the ribosome reaches the end codon, protein synthesis is over.

Each of the codons represents one of the 20 amino acids used to build the protein. Each amino acid can be codified by more than one codon. From the total 64 codons, 61 codify amino acids, and one of them is a start codon. The left three codons are stopping translation points.

The codons indicating the initiation or stop points during the translation process are:

• The start codon AUG is the most common sequence used by eukaryotic cells and places near the 5´extreme of the molecule.

• The end codons are UAA, UAG, UGA.

Protein synthesis initiates in the AUG start codon -Metionin-, and ends when reaching either of the stop codons UAA, UAG, UGA.

In the exposed example we have the following mRNA.

mRNA ⇒ 5'GMU UAC AUG CGG CUC AGU UGA GGC GAA AAA A 3'

Codons are separated by a space left between them. AUG is the start codon placed near the 5´ extreme. UGA is the end codon near the 3´ extreme. tRNA will add amino acids from the start codon, not before.

tRNA ⇒ UAC GCC GAG UCA ACU

Anticodons are separated by a space left between them.

protein ⇒ N - MET ARG LEU SER Stop - C

Each mRNA codon codifies for an amino acid. The start codon codifies for methionine. AUG = Met, CGG = Arg, CUC = Leu, AGU = Ser, UGA = Stop codon. The amino terminus is represented as an N and the carboxy terminus is a C. The first extreme to be translated carries the amino-terminal group, while the other extreme carries the carboxy-terminus group.
