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>

A client whose parkinson's disease is being treated with tolcapone should concurrently take what drug?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The correct answer would be levodopa/carbidopa.

Tolcapone is a drug used as an adjunct to levodopa/carbidopa combination medication.

These drugs are used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

Tolcapone is used to inhibit enzyme COMT (catechol-O-methyl transferase).

In the brain, levodopa is converted into dopamine which helps in controlling the movement.

Carbidopa helps in preventing the breakdown of levodopa in the blood which allows more levodopa to enter the brain. In addition, it helps in reducing the side-effects associated with levodopa such as vomiting, nausea et cetera.

If you inherit the genotype AO for blood from your parents, what blood type do you have?
alexandr1967 [171]
<span>If you inherit the genotype AO for blood from your parents, you have blood type A. Regarding blood types, there are three possible alleles: A, B, and O. Both alleles A and B are dominant to allele O. So, if a person has the genotype AO, allele A will mask the effect of allele O, and the person will have blood type A.</span>
