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>

3. Which city’s climate is most similar to Jakarta, Baltimore or Kuala Lumpur? Explain your answer.
Igoryamba
The correct answer is Kuala Lumpur

That's because both cities are located in the same climate zone except on the opposite hemispheres. From north to the equator there are climate zones that change every few parallels, and from the equator to the south it also happens but like a mirror image, and Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur are in the same zone.

What is the albedo effect?<br><br> Do you think the earth is warming up?
meriva

Answer: Astronomers define the reflectivity of an object in space using a term called albedo. This is the amount of electromagnetic radiation that reflects away, compared to the amount that gets absorbed.

Explanation: But to answer the "Earth warming up" question, I'd have to say that for over millions of years, Earth's climate has warmed up and cooled down many times. However, today the planet is warming much faster than it has over human history. Global air temperatures near Earth's surface have gone up about 2 degrees Fahrenheit in the last century. However, other evidence suggests that the period of 2,000 to 3,000 million years ago was generally colder and more glaciated than the last 500 million years.

So, yes I do believe that the Earth is warming up but not to explode.

lara31 [8.8K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

To treat the discharge of untreated waste from a type i or type ii marine sanitation device the following steps should be taken into account;

The “Y” valve must be secured to prevent accidental illegal discharge. This can be done by placing a lock or non-reusable seal on the “Y” valve or by taking the handle off the “Y” valve. Only treated sewage from an approved MSD may be discharged directly overboard.
