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>

List four uses of lactic acid fermentation. List four uses of alcoholic fermentation.
Volgvan

Answer:

The most commercially important genus of lactic acid-fermenting bacteria is Lactobacillus, though other bacteria and even yeast are sometimes used. Two of the most common applications of lactic acid fermentation are in the production of yogurt and sauerkraut.

Lactic acid fermentation happens in our muscle cells when we are exercising feverishly, while alcoholic fermentation is used in yeast cells and is what leads to beer, bread, and wine.

What type of bonds form between the nitrogenous bases? Why are these bonds important?
Bond [772]

Answer:

The bonds that are formed between nitrogenous bases are Hydrogen Bond.

Explanation:

When a hydrogen atom interract with an electronegative atom such oxygen,fluorine hydrogen bond forms,

              A single hydrogen bond is weak noncovalent bond but collectively they exerts  very strong interraction.

            Hydrogen bonding occurs between complementary base pair .For exam An adenine base forms 2 hydrogen bonds with thymine base whereas guanine forms 3 hydrogen bonds with cytosine base.

             The hydrogen bonding between complementary is very much important to stabilize the structure of DNA .
