There are several "downsides" to extensive use of synthesized nitrogen-containing fertilizers; it contributes to algal blooms and dead zones in bodies of water, nitrogen is usually considered as a highly effective and economical fertilizer. However, the repeated use of the chemical can cause an imbalance in the pH of the soil, eventually leaving it unusable for growth of any kind.

<h3>ANSWER:</h3>

An extensive use of synthesized fertilizers can cause over fertilization as then the nutrients are readily available to the plant. The repeated use of these fertilizers can promote alagal growth, build up of toxic chemicals like arsenic, cadmium, and uranium in soil. These harmful chemicals can indirectly reach your body through fruits and vegetables. It can also change the PH of the soil. Furthermore, the extensive use of these fertilizers can release greenhouse gases and attracts pest.

Controlling the rates of transcription and translation is important in bacteria to avoid collisions between ribosomes and rna po

7nadin3 [17]

The right answer is 20 aminoacids per second.

Transcription is a mechanism for synthesizing RNA from DNA.

Translation is a mechanism for synthesizing a polypeptide sequence from mRNA by converting the nucleotide triplet (codons) to amino acids.

So if one amino acid corresponds to three nucleotides. The polypeptide synthesis rate should be 20 amino acids per second for 60 nucleotides per second.

3 nucleotides ==> 1 amino acid

60 nucleotides ==> 60/3 = 20 amino acids.

Cloud [144]

Transcription starts at the template strand of DNA where mRNA attaches and is constructed from 5’ to 3’ direction. The nucleotides of the DNA strand is attached to either A, U, G, C ribosomal nucleotides. mRNA Dissembles when it reaches a terminating codon and then it attaches to ribosomal RNA where tRNA carries the amino and mRNA caries the code to construct proteins with the ribosome.
