Answer:

The correct answer is option B) mRNA codons are joined by tRNA anticodons to assemble amino acids to form a protein.

Explanation:

Translation is the process by which a protein is synthesized from the information contained in a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). During translation, an mRNA sequence is read using the genetic code, which is a set of rules that defines how an mRNA sequence is to be translated into the 20-letter code of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. The genetic code is a set of three-letter combinations of nucleotides called codons, each of which corresponds with a specific amino acid or stop signal. Translation occurs in a structure called the ribosome, which is a factory for the synthesis of proteins. The ribosome has a small and a large subunit and is a complex molecule composed of several ribosomal RNA molecules and a number of proteins. Translation of an mRNA molecule by the ribosome occurs in three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. During initiation, the small ribosomal subunit binds to the start of the mRNA sequence. Then a transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule carrying the amino acid methionine binds to what is called the start codon of the mRNA sequence. The start codon in all mRNA molecules has the sequence AUG and codes for methionine. Next, the large ribosomal subunit binds to form the complete initiation complex. During the elongation stage, the ribosome continues to translate each codon in turn. Each corresponding amino acid is added to the growing chain and linked via a bond called a peptide bond. Elongation continues until all of the codons are read. Lastly, termination occurs when the ribosome reaches a stop codon (UAA, UAG, and UGA). Since there are no tRNA molecules that can recognize these codons, the ribosome recognizes that translation is complete. The new protein is then released, and the translation complex comes apart.

How does the number of hydrogen atoms compare to the number of oxygen atoms in ribose

zalisa [80]

Answer: Ribose C5H10O5

Explanation:

Ribose is a carbohydrates with the formula C5H10O5. This molecule is pentose monosaccharide which has linear form of H−(C=O)−(CHOH)4−H. The hyoxyl groups lie in the same side in the form of Fischer Projections.

The number of hydrogen atoms are double in number of the oxygen atoms. The ribose sugar is found in the RNA.

It is the genetic material which is found in some of the organism that carries information from one generation to another.

You begin an experiment with two populations of E. coli that are each composed of 100 cells. The cells are genetically identical

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

C) Initially mutation will be the only source of variation in the population

Explanation:

In this experiment, mutation will be the only source of variation in the population.

Therefore, natural selection cannot begin operating immediately on the population because there was no initial variation.

Also initial differences in the population will not be as a result of sexual selection.

Finally, mutation is a random process. Despite the two populations being identical they will accumulate different mutations. Therefore after 100 generations the two populations will not be genetically identical.
