A strand of mRNA that is 450 nitrogenous bases long will produce a protein containing approximately

Biology
1 answer:
Usimov [2.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

approximately 150 amino acids

Explanation:

Proteins are produced from genes via a process called gene expression. In this process, the gene-containing DNA is first transcribed into mRNA molecule, which is subsequently translated into an amino acid sequence that makes up the protein molecule.

However, during the translation process, the mRNA molecule is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON i.e. a codon is made up of three nucleotide/nitrogenous bases. Each codon codes for a particular amino acid.

Since one codon of a mRNA that is three (3) nucleotides long codes for one amino acid, hence, strand of mRNA that is 450 nitrogenous bases long will produce a protein containing approximately (450/3) = 150 amino acids.

Renewable resources are those that can be synthesized by humans. Please select the best answer from the choices provided T F
quester [9]
No, this is false!

Renewable resources can be syntesized by humans, or not: some of them can, and some can't. This is not what makes them renewable, instead it's the fact that they will still be present in the nature after usage - they will be replaced (the sun will still shine tomorrow even if we harvest its power).

What is the purpose of an antibody? Group of answer choices to stick to an antigen, alerting your body of the presence of a fore
Alexandra [31]

Answer: Antibodies are proteins that are found in the body on the surface of red blood cells and in the blood plasma ,they are very sensitive to foreign bodies and bad viruses and bacteria,when they notice the presence of anything that poses harm or a threat to the body system,they track it down and fight/destroy it.

Antibodies also play crucial role in hemostasis(stoppage of bleeding) in the sense that when the body is wounded or when someone gets a cut antibodies that are found in the plasma and some substances found in the platelets are released to play a role in sending signal to the blood clotting factors in the blood to be released to arrest the bleeding and prevent the person from bleeding out their entire blood.
