Answer:

The importance of the AUG and UGA bases lies in the fact that the first one is a start codon and the second one is a stop codon, respectively (option a).

Explanation:

Codons or triplets are sequences of three nitrogenous bases, in the mRNA, that determine the synthesis of a specific amino acid.

  • <em>AUG </em><em>is called the </em><em>initiation or start codon</em><em>, and is usually at the beginning of a peptide synthesis, in addition to encoding the amino acid methionine. </em>
  • <em>UGA</em><em> is a</em><em> termination or stop codon</em><em> found at the end of a petid chain when it is complete.  UAA and UAG codons are also STOP or termination codons and, together with UGA, do not code for amino acids.</em>

The biological importance of start and stop codons is to initiate the synthesis of a protein and to stop the addition of amino acids when their size is adequate.

Which of the following is conical movement in which the distal end of a structure moves in a circle and the proximal end remains
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The correct answer is OPTION C (Circumduction)

Explanation:

Circumduction is motions without clear opposites of the part of the body, an example is rotating the hand from the wrist. The answer is circumduction because this type of movement ensures the distal end of a bone moves in a circle while the proximal end remains relatively stable is particularly found in bones where the movements of the joints are opposite to each other example is the ball and socket joint movement. For circumduction to take place, the degree of distance between two bones of the body has to be decreased and sometimes straightened to increase the level of movement or motion produced, there must be a movement towards the middle of the body and sometimes joint movement away from the middle of the body. All these movements are in order.
