In the DNA structuring, there are four nitrogen bases involved that are combined in a structure containing diffrent bases. Each codon is unique to one another and represents another material. Since the two codons are not exactly the same, the answer is no.

Answer:

The same amino acid is not specified.

Explanation:

Translation may be defined as the production of protein product from the RNA molecules with the help of enzymes and chemicals. Genetic code may be defined as the nucleotide triplet of nucleic acids that can be inherited in the organisms.

Each codon specifies a single amino acid. GGU codes for glycine whereas CGU codes for arginine. Glycine is the smallest amino acid.

Thus, the codon mutation from GGU to CGU doesnot specify the same amino acid.

Fatty acid synthesis can be divided into 3 stages: Stage 1. Export of acetyl CoA from the mitochondria, Stage 2: Synthesis of ma
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The third stage in the synthesis of fatty acids is the synthesis of palmitic acid (letter e)

Explanation:

The synthesis of fatty acids takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. The first step is the transport of acetyl-CoA to the cytoplasm. This came in the form of citrate usually from the pyruvate generated in the glycolysis from the mitochondria. The citrate is enzymatically transformed into acetyl-CoA.

Once the acetyl-CoA is in the cytoplasm, this is transformed into malonyl-CoA. This molecule will be the donor of two carbons in the synthesis of fatty acids.

In the final step takes place a cyclic process of reactions (condensation, reduction, hydration and second reduction) to synthesize the palmitic acid ( 16 carbons) by the fatty acid synthase.

Which molecules are added to an electrophoresis buffer for the purpose of denaturing dna?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Formamide molecules are added to an electrophoresis buffer for the purpose of denaturing DNA.

<h3>What is the purpose of the buffer during electrophoresis?</h3>

A laboratory procedure called electrophoresis is used to divide DNA, RNA, or protein molecules according to their size and electrical charge. The molecules are moved by an electric current through a gel or other matrix. In the case of Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE), the gradient can be an electrical field or a denaturant such as a solution of urea and formamide.

Size, charge, and other characteristics are used in electrophoresis to separate macromolecules like protein and nucleic acids. Scientists utilize buffer to transport the charge through the gel for electrophoresis that separates by charge. Additionally, the buffer keeps the gel's pH steady, reducing alterations that would take place in the protein or nucleic acid if the pH were to become unstable.

What must happen to the cell volume in order for a prokaryotic membrane to pinch inward and divide the cell in two?
cricket20 [7]

In a prokaryotic division, the cellular reproduction is by binary fission. The bacterial chromosomes replicate then proteins migrate toward the midpoint of the cell and the duplicated chromosomes moves away from each other forming a protein ring at the midpoint. Plasma membrane and cell wall materials will accumulate to add to the cell volume. Then, the protein ring will form a septum that pinch inward and divide the cell in two, forming two daughter cells.

pea plants with yellow peas are crossed. Most of their offspring have yellow peas, but about 25 percent of the offspring have gr
True [87]

Hello!

Yellow = Y

Green = y

Based on the fact that 25% of the offspring inherited two recessive alleles (we know this because in order for a recessive allele to be expressed, it must be homozygous),<u><em> the parent peas had to both be heterozygous. </em></u>

Yy * Yy will always result in:

1/4 = yy

2/4 = Yy

1/4 = YY

I hope I helped!
