Answer:

The correct answer is "stop codon"

Explanation:

Codon is a trinucleotide (three nucleotides) sequence that translates to a specific amino acid or stops the translation of genetic sequence to amino acids. There is a codon table that is usually used to determine the corresponding protein.

However, a sequence of DNA or RNA sequence will have 3 nucleotides (codons) each been translated to a specific amino acid. For example, the sequence below can be translated as follows

5' - UAUGGAUUUAGACACUAG -3'

UAU - Tyrosine

GGA -Glycine

UUU - Phenylalanine

AGA - Arginine

CAC - Histidine

UAG - stop codon

<u>The stop codon is a codon that doesn't code for any amino acid and signals the stop of protein synthesis/gene translation of a sequence</u>. There are three stop codons which are UAG, UGA and UAA.

mestny [16]

The correct answer is Includes the Golgi apparatus and the endoplasmic reticulum.

The endomembrane systemrepresents a group of membranes and organelles that works together to modify, package, and transport lipids and proteins. It exists in eukaryotic cells only. The endomembrane system does not include all the organelles, like mitochondria, chloroplasts, or peroxisomes.

If an animal cell is placed in hypertonic solution what happens to the cell
Soloha48 [4]
<span>A solution is hypertonic to a cell if it has a higher solute (dissolved substance) concentration than the cell does. As a result, it also has a lower concentration of water than the cell does. Cell membranes and plant cell walls are semipermeable barriers, which means that certain molecules can diffuse through them, while other molecules can not.</span>
