Answer: a). The codons on the mRNA strand 5' C-C-U-A-G-U 3' produced are CCU and AGU.

b). The anticodons for appropriate tRNA molecules are 3'-GGA-5' and 3'-UCA-5'.

c). The amino acids that will be placed in the right order at the ribosome are Proline-Serine

DNA analysis is always correct except in cases the collected tissue samples are contaminated. DNA analysis is always correct because every individual is unique with a unique DNA code. This means that no two individuals have exactly the same DNA code, therefore there is no chance having an analyzed DNA that have the exact sequence as that of another individual.

Explanation:

a). mRNA is a type of ribonucleic acid that is used as templates for protein synthesis. It is always complementary to the parent DNA except that like other RNAs it contains Uracil base instead of Thymine. Therefore the strand is 5' C-C-U-A-G-U 3'.

b). An anticodon is a three-base sequence on the tRNA with which it base pairs with mRNA codons. In base pairing of the mRNA codon with tRNA anticodon, the first base of the mRNA codon in the 5'->3' direction pairs with the third base of the anticodon. Therefore the anticodons are 3'-GGA-5' and 3'-UCA-5'.

c). Codons are three-base sequence on an mRNA molecule that codes for amino acids. There are 64 codons, three of which codes for no known amino acid. 61 codons code for the 20 amino acids. In the genetic code, CCU codes for the amino acid proline while AGU codes for the amino acid Serine.

Answer:

A Template strand runs from 3' to 5' end. therefore, it will be:

template DNA : 3' G-G-A-T-C-A 5'

a) mRNA : 5 'C-C-U-A-G-U 3'

codons of mRNA will be : CCU and AGU

b) anticodons of mRNA will be UCA and GGA

c)AMINOACIDS will be serine and proline

Dna testing might not be accurate always, as it is likely that samples collected from crime sites will be contaminated. It is also likely that mistakes are made while sequencing the DNA sample in laboratories.

Homologous recombination is a unique feature of meiosis whose purpose is to increase genetic diversity during reproduction. What
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The correct answer will be-

1. Homologous recombination- crossing over

2. Occur-during pachytene of meiosis I of gamete formation.

Explanation:

The basis of diversity of organism present on earth lies in the sexual mode of reproduction possessed by the organism to produce offspring. The sex cells involved in the reproduction are formed by a process called meiosis.

During the formation of gametes, at the pachytene stage of meiosis I take place a mechanistically conserved process which leads to the exchange of DNA segment between non-sister chromatids called crossing over through a process known as homologous recombination. This exchange of genetic material in the homologous chromosomes increase the genetic diversity of the organism on the earth.

Please Help! Which material undergoes radioactive decay? A) all elements that have a half-life B) all elements that contain atom
Anvisha [2.4K]
Answer: C

Proof: This would be C because radioactive decay is when atoms and protons decide to slowly decay or separate from the atom. Therefore, they would produce radiation. Just like atomic bombs or nuclear waste. (Hope this helps-)

Why are bones hard and elastic at the same time? Explain your answer.
Alborosie

Explanation:

Bones provide support for our bodies and help form our shape. Although they're very light, bones are strong enough to support our entire weight.

Bones also protect the organs in our bodies. The skull protects the brain and forms the shape of the face. The spinal cord, a pathway for messages between the brain and the body, is protected by the backbone, or spinal column. The ribs form a cage that shelters the heart and lungs, and the pelvis helps protect the bladder, part of the intestines, and in women, the reproductive organs.

Bones are made up of a framework of a protein called , with a mineral called calcium phosphate that makes the framework hard and strong. Bones store calcium and release some into the bloodstream when it's needed by other parts of the body. The amounts of certain vitamins and minerals that you eat, especially vitamin D and calcium, directly affect how much calcium is stored in the bones.

The initial step in the formation of an aminoacyl-tRNA is Group of answer choices esterification of the tRNA activation of the t
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The initial step in the formation of an aminoacyl-tRNA is activation of the amino acid by reaction with ATP

Explanation:

In protein synthesis, the first step involves the formation of an aminoacyl-tRNA. This reaction is catalyzed by the the Mg²⁺-dependent enzymes known as aminoacyl t-RNA synthetases and occurs in two steps.

The first step of the reaction of the formation of an aminoacyl-tRNA is the  activation of the amino acid by the attachment of an AMP molecule formed from the hydrolysis of ATP to AMP and pyrophosphate. The aminoacyl adenylate intermediate is bound to the enzyme in this initial step. Subsequently, in the second step of the activation of the amino acid, the aminoacyl adenylate intermediate is then transferred to its specific tRNA. The pyrophosphate formed in the first step is hydrolyzed to 2 phosphate molecules by a pyrophosphatase.

The overall reaction step is illustrated below:

Amino acid + tRNA + ATP -----> aminoacyl-tRNA +AMP + 2Pi
