Answer Choices:
DNA provides the energy needed for an organism to grow and function
DNA is copied into mRNA, which controls cellular functions
DNA codes for proteins, which allow an organism to grow and function
DNA unzips and each strand codes for a different amino acid
Answer:
DNA codes for proteins, which allow an organism to grow and function
Explanation:
DNA provides the energy needed for an organism to grow and function - this is false. DNA does not provide energy. A molecule called ATP, mostly produced by cellular respiration, provides energy for the cells to grow and function.
DNA is copied into mRNA, which controls cellular functions - this is false. While it is true that DNA is copied into mRNA, mRNA does not directly control cellular functions. Instead, mRNA is translated into proteins.
DNA codes for proteins, which allow an organism to grow and function - <u>this is true, as indicated above, DNA is transcribed to mRNA which is translated into proteins. Proteins carry out essentially all the functions in the cell</u>
DNA unzips and each strand codes for a different amino acid - this is false, DNA is transcribed into mRNA. Each mRNA codon (three bases) codes for a different amino acid
I can say for certain that it's really probably not A. or D.
As for B. or C., I'd say C.
Hi There! :)
<span>What amino acid is carried by tRNA with anticodon, GUA?
</span>The mRNA sequence that you have shown above has been given in triplets of bases. These triplets are called codons. Therefore the amino acid that tRNA will bring must be complementary to this hence called the anticodon. There is a rule. A always pairs with U (or T if it was a DNA strand) and C always pairs with G.
<span>For the first two triplets I will do the anticodon sequence then you can finish off : GUA GCC ..... </span>
<span>Each codon or anticodon triplet codes for an amino acid. To find this out published tables are used. All the possible triplets will be on there. You will simply just have to read off the names of the amino acid stated next to it in that grid table. </span>
Answer is B. Heliotropism
