Answer: Four amino acids.

Explanation:

RNA (ribonucleic acid) and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) are polymers made up of long chains of nucleotides. Thus, a nucleotide is the basic building block of nucleic acids and consists of a sugar molecule (ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA) linked to a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. <u>The nitrogenous bases can be Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G) or Uracil (U) replacing T in RNA</u>. DNA is the molecule that stores the genetic information to synthesize polypeptides or proteins (set of amino acids). When proteins need to be created, DNA is transcribed into RNA and this RNA is translated in ribosomes to create polypeptides.

Complementarity is the ability to combine with their complement. A and T (or U) are complementary, while C and G are complementary to each other. Complementarity is the principle of replication and transcription, because it is a propery of both DNA and RNA sequences. Their the nucleotide bases at each position of the sequences are complementary, allowing cells to copy information.

Nucleotides in RNA are grouped into codons, which consist of groups of 3 nucleotides where each codon codes for an amino acid. Therefore, <u>the sequence of bases in nucleic acids determines which protein will be synthesized</u>. Protein synthesis begins with a start codon (AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine) and ends with a stop codon (UGA, UAG and UAA). So, if there are 15 nucleotides, there are 15 bases. Since they are grouped in groups of 3, we will have a polypeptide of 4 amino acids.

<u>3 nucleotides form a codon, so 12 nucleotides form 4 codons giving 4 amino acids. The last codon, is formed by the last 3 nucleotides and form the stop codon that stop protein synthesis</u>.

What is the greatest current threat to the loss of Earths biodiversity
luda_lava [24]
The greatest current threat to the loss of the Earth's biodiversity is global warming. This is because when the ice melts, the cold comes down to us and makes us have rainy summers and very early snow and cold springs and cold autumns. And when the ice melts enough, water will start to come down and flood countries and cities, such as Manhattan. Scientists are predicting that California will break away from America.

Which phrases describe air pressure? Select three options.
9966 [12]
  • decreases as altitude increases
  • results from a column of air pushing on an area
  • decreases due to fewer air particles pushing down

Pressure is the force exerted, by a substance, per unit area.

Explanation:

Pressure is given by the formulae;

P = F/ A

Whereby;

P = pressure

F = Force

A = area

Remember that ..

F = Ma

Whereby;

F = Force

M = mass

a = acceleration

Therefore pressure can be given as;

P = Ma / A

The mass of the above column of a substance multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity = pressure exerted by the substance.
