Answer:
1. A codon is a triplet of nucleotides that codes for an amino acid. This amino acid is transported by the tRNA which possesses a complementary anticodon and it gets added to the nascent protein.
2. Amino acids are organic compounds that contain amino (–NH2) and carboxyl (–COOH) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid.
3. the onset of protein production is signaled by the AUG codon which encodes methionine. the stop to the synthesis is given instead by the stop codons (UAA, UAG, UGA)
4. Met-Val-Thr-Ser-Arg-Leu-Stop
There are several information's of immense importance already given in the question. Based on those information's the answer can be easily deduced.
Initial number of bacteria in the culture = 1000
Number of bacteria after t hours = 1000 (2)^t
Then
1000 (2)^t = 50000
2 ^t = 50
t = 5.6
I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
