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.

horsena [70]

Answer:

Corrigiendo el error de Schwann y preparando el principio de Virchow, señaló que las células se multiplican por escisión de su núcleo, no por generatio aequivoca a partir del protoplasma originario. ... Según los historiadores Pagel (1945) y Ackerknecht (1957), parece que Remak precedió a Virchow en sus descubrimientos.

When looking at groups of cells, which is ordered from smallest to largest?
Sedbober [7]
The smallest item in the list would be organelles. Organelles are tiny structures within a cell, that help it to function. Example of organelles are-- nucleus, mitochondria, cell membrane to name a few. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function of all living things, therefore, cells would have to be placed second. They are microscopic. A group of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function, is known as a tissue. Therefore, tissue is next largest. Examples of tissues include, muscle tissue, epithelial tissue, adipose tissue. When different types of tissues work together to perform a function in the body, this group of tissues forms an organ. An example of an organ is the heart. Inside the heart are many types of tissue-- cardiac muscle,nerve, blood, connective, etc. The job it performs is to pump blood. When various organs work together to perform a specific function in the body, this makes up a system. An example is the circulatory system. In this system are many organs that work together. Arteries, veins, capillaries and heart are all part of the circulatory system. Its job is to circulate blood containing nutrients and oxygen to cells and to pick up cellular wastes. All the systems of the body comprise the organism. An organism is a living thing. It can be as tiny as a microbe, or a complex as a human. When referring to a multicellular organism, the correct order from smallest to largest is-- organelle, cell, tissue, organ, system, organism
