Why are well-defined reading frames critical in protein synthesis? A. Without a well-defined reading frame, the mRNA would be tr

anscribed back into DNA. B. Without a well-defined reading frame, the ribosome is unable to bind to the mRNA. C. Without a well-defined reading frame, the peptide made from a given sequence could be completely different. D. Without a well-defined reading frame, the resulting protein would be transported to the cell surface.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

During the translation of an mRNA, it is read in a sequence of three nucleotides called codons. Therefore, a single strand of DNA or RNA will have three reading frames.  Only one is biologically relevant and is referred to as the open reading frame because it is translated to the ideal protein. A shift in the reading of the frame can result in a wrong peptide.

One a feature of the structure of all DNA Molecules is the
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The structure of the DNA is ideal for the complex function that it plays.

Some of the features of the structure of all DNA molecules are:

<em>Sugar- phosphate backbone:</em>

The sugar- phosphate backbone is ideal for providing the DNA a ladder- like shape which is essential for its functions.

<em>Hydrogen bonds:</em>

The hydrogen bonds present in the nucleotides keep both the DNA strands intact. If the hydrogen bonds were not present then the double helix would not have been able to form.

<em>Coiling:</em>

The structure of the DNA is coiled and super coiled so that it can fit into an organism.

The whip tail of a vinegaroon is a mimic for a scorpions pincher claws<br> true or false?
Vilka [71]

The statement is - False.

The vinegaroon has became very similar in appearance to the scorpions, by having similar body, similar proportions to certain species, having a whip tail. The whip tail though is not a mimic for the scorpion's pincher claws, but instead, it is a mimic of the scorpion's stinger. This adaptation of the vinegaroon has the purpose to fend of the predators by making them think that it is actually a scorpion and that they will get a nasty poisonous sting. This type of adaptations by mimicking certain traits of more dangerous species can be found in lot of animals from all shapes and sizes.

How can you tell what genes are recessive or dominant when looking at actual gene setups?
devlian [24]
By looking at a gene set up or a punnet square,a gene that's dominant would be represented by a capital letter and recessive traits are represented by lowercase letters for example brown eyes are considered a dominant trait which can be represented as BB for homozygous, and Bb for heterozygous. Since blue eyes are recessive they would be bb.
