I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. Proteins are used in mating by Japanese beetles by detecting pheromones sent by the female beetles. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

The answer is C. Pheromones are hormones (which are proteinous) produces by individuals of the same species and are a means to send communication signals for social interactions. They signal alarm, food and even sex. Sex pheromones are  released by females beetles into the environment to signal their availability for mating. The pheromones are picked up by receptors on the male beetles and this is how they find the females.

Part A: A scientist examines a fruit fly gene involved with the regulation of body development. A section of the DNA sequence fo
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Part A: Thr-Leu-Val

Part B: ACC-UUG-GUU

Explanation:

When you transcribe a DNA sequence to mRNA, you need to remember that in RNA there is no Thymine (T), instead it has Uracil (U). So the base pairings would be like this compared to DNA base pairing:

DNA                RNA

A-T                  A-U

T-A                  T-A

C-G                 G-C

G-C                 C-G

Given the sequence the transcription will be as follows:

DNA :   TGG - AAC - CAA  

mRNA: ACC - UUG - GUU

Next, to translate it into amino acids, you will use the chart. Now amino acids pair in codons (3 base pairs at a time).  Let's take the first codon in your sequence:

ACC

1st  2nd   3rd

 A     C       C

Using the column on the left, find the row that matches it, so in this case A.

At the very top, there is another row of letters, looking at the row of A only, look for the column of the second base which is C.

Lastly, look at the right most column and find the letter that matches the third base within the box where A and C intersect. In this case, C is your third base.

The amino acid where all three intersect is your first amino acid which is Thr.

Just do this for the next codons and you will come up with the answer.
