If an mRNA strand is 6399 nucleotides long how many amino acids are coded for ( Numeric answer)

Biology
1 answer:
sergey [27]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

If an mRNA strand is 6399 nucleotides long, it will code for 2132 amino acids, as the last triplet is the terminating codon.

Explanation:

Codons are found in the RNA chain and are made up of nucleotides trios, whose specific sequence determines the genetic code.

There are 4 nitrogenous bases in RNA - Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Uracil - which when combined in trios give rise to 64 possible codon combinations that code for 20 amino acids, so an amino acid can be formed by more than one codon.

Determining how many amino acids are encoded according to the amount of nucleotides in the mRNA would be as easy as <u>dividing the number of nucleotids in the chain by 3</u>, but considering that the last codon is not taken into account, since it is the termination codon.

  • Amino acids = (amount of nitrogenous bases in mRNA / 3) - 1
  • Amino acids = (6399 / 3) - 1
  • Amino acids = 2133 - 1 = 2132

Electron microscope‘s differ from light microscope’s in that they produce an image of specimen by using a beam of electrons rather than a beam of light. Electrons have such a shorter wavelength than visible light, and this allows electron microscope to produce higher resolution images than standard light microscope‘s

Once the problem has been identified, observations have been made, and research has been completed to learn about a problem, wha
Andreas93 [3]

Answer: Conclusion

Explanation:

Scientific method can be defined as a detailed plan for conducting research in a particular scientific domain. This is used to give scientific explanation for natural phenomena. In scientific method a hypothesis is created, observation is made, experimentation is conducted and then finally a conclusion is made to address the hypothesis.

Therefore, after the research is completed the conclusion is made by analyzing all the facts related to the literature and results of the experiments.

What heat source should you use to heat flammable organic solvents?
Fynjy0 [20]
Many organic compounds are ignitable, putting them in direct flame may cause fires or combustion. it is possible to start a fire on a hot plate, but typically hot plates are not heated as high and the temperature is somewhat controll-able... you can not control the temperature of a bunsen burner very easily i would not through acetone or ethanol on a hot plate, as it can catch on fire or cause burns, but it's much worse with the bunsen burner.
