Answer:

In the mRNA sequence AUGGUGCAUGUC the maximum number of amino acids that can be encoded is 4 (option A).

Explanation:

Messenger RNA (mRNA) has a sequence of nitrogenous bases produced by the transcription of a DNA strand. This sequence of bases is organized in triplets or codons —made up of 3 nitrogenous bases— that can encode an amino acid, or mark the beginning or end —STOP codon—of protein synthesis.

From the sequence:

AUGGUGCAUGUC

Four codons are obtained, each of which encodes a different amino acid:

<em>Codons:          AUG-GUG-CAU-GUC</em>

<em>Amino acids:  Met - Val - His - Val</em>

<em>Methionine Valine Histidina and Valine are the four amino acids encoded by the 12 nucleotide sequence of the mRNA.</em>

Answer: Fungi

Fungi is a group of organisms belonging to kingdom Fungi. These are eukaryotic organisms. They are saprophtic organisms, which means they drive their food and nourishment by decaying dead and decaying organisms. They cannot synthesize their own food by photosynthesis as they do not possess pigment chlorophyll like plants, which traps sunlight energy for photosynthesis. The cell wall of fungi is made up of chitin.

The organism feeding on the wooden log is fungus. They are able to degrade lignin component of the wood into simpler compound, which is used as a source of nourishment.
