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>

Ranchers who have herds of sheep often have problems keeping predators away from their herd while the sheep graze on grass. Whic
natta225 [31]

The term that describes the sheep in this scenario is prey, consumer and primary consumer.

A. Prey

B. Consumer

C. Primary consumers

<u>Explanation:</u>

It is given here that the sheep graze on the grass. Thus sheep is a consumer. When we get into the details of trophic levels in the ecosystem we can understand that autotrophs are the producers of an ecosystem. The organisms that feed on autotrophs are primary consumers.

Here grass is the producer and sheep is the primary consumer since it feeds on the grass. It is also given here that the ranchers have to keep the sheep away from predators. This makes the sheep a prey too. The animals that feed on primary consumers are called secondary consumers.
