Answer:
DNA was discovered in 1869 by Swiss researcher Friedrich Miescher, who was originally trying to study the composition of lymphoid cells (white blood cells). Instead, he isolated a new molecule he called nuclein (DNA with associated proteins) from a cell nucleus.
Explanation:
Answer:
Histidine- Proline- Tryptophan- Stop codon
Explanation:
The mRNA strand in the question is produced as a result of a process called TRANSCRIPTION. However, the mRNA transcript is further used to synthesize an amino acid sequence in a process called TRANSLATION. The mRNA sequence is read in a group of three nucleotide bases called CODON.
Each codon specifies an amino acid which is represented in the GENETIC CODE. In this case, a sequence of mRNA strand is given as: CACCCAUGGUGA
The following codons in the sequence specify the following amino acid:
CAC - Histidine
CCA - Proline
UGG - Tryptophan
UGA - Stop codon
Hence, the amino acid sequence encoded by the given mRNA strand is Histidine- Proline- Tryptophan- Stop codon.
N.B: After a stop codon (UGA, UAA, UAG) is encountered, the translation process stops.
The average human body contains around 100 trillion cells
Answer:
1.69 moles of Xenon gas will occupy a volume of 37.8l in STP conditions
Explanation:
We use the formula PV=nRT. The conditions STP are 1 atm of pressure and 273 K of temperature.
PV=nRT ----> n=PV/RT
n= 1 atm x 37, 8 L/ 0,082 l atm/K mol x 273K
n=1,688555347 mol
