The nucleotide sequence of a DNA codon is TAG. In an mRNA molecule transcribed from this DNA, the codon has the sequence _______
inna [77]

Answer:

The nucleotide sequence of a DNA codon is TAG. In an mRNA molecule transcribed from this DNA, the codon has the sequence 5'-<u>AUC-3'</u>. In the process of protein synthesis, a transfer RNA pairs with the mRNA codon. The nucleotide sequence of the tRNA anticodon is <u>3'-UAG-5'</u>. The amino acid attached to the tRNA is <u>Isoleucine</u>.

Explanation:

In the process of protein synthesis the mRNA contains the sequence of nucleotides —transcribed from the DNA— that defines the sequence of amino acids that a synthesized protein will have.

Codons are triplets of nitrogenous bases present in mRNA, which encode an amino acid, as well as the start and end of protein synthesis.

Anticodons correspond to triplets of bases present in transfer RNA (tRNA), which correspond with mRNA codons. tRNA is responsible for coupling amino acids to the polypeptide chain being synthesized. In view of this:

<em>- DNA triplet:               TAG</em>

<em>- Codon mRNA:      5'-AUC-3' </em>

<em>- Anticodon tRNA:   3'-UAG-5'</em>

<em>- Amino acid:           Isoleucine</em>

Which of the following prevents blood from flowing backward through the circulatory system?
netineya [11]

Answer: Valves in the veins

Explanation: The flow of the blood inside the body takes place through the veins and arteries. The oxygenated blood from the heart is supplied to the different parts of the body.

The blood flows from the capillaries to the venules and from there to the veins. The blood moves in the veins by the rhythmic movement of the smooth muscles in the body.

Most of the blood moves against the gravity so there is a chance that it can backflow so to prevent this there are valves in the veins known as one way valves.

Northern elephant seals were hunted to the point that their population size was reduced to as few as 20 in the late 1800s. Since
KatRina [158]

Population bottlenecks.  but their genes still carry the marks of this bottleneck: they have much less genetic variation than a population of southern elephant seals that was not so intensely hunted.

PLEASE HURRY! what is the best decription of chromosomes by the end of metaphase 2 of meiosis?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The best description of chromosomes by the end of metaphase 2 of meiosis is that they are lined up in the middle of the cell. You can help remember this by thinking of the "M" in metaphase as middle. this is because in this phase the chromosomes are lined up in the middle of the cell.

Compare the benefits and environmental impacts of pesticide use.
asambeis [7]

Answer:

<u>Benefits</u>:

pesticides can keep harmful pests–such as rats, mice, ticks and mosquitoes–away from crops while also protecting the plants from weeds and diseases that have the ability to greatly reduce crop yield.

<u>Environmental impacts</u>:

Pesticides may move with runoff as compounds dissolved in the water or attached to soil particles. Runoff from areas treated with pesticides can pollute streams, ponds, lakes, and wells. Pesticide residues in surface water can harm plants and animals and contaminate groundwater.
