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

Biology

Usimov [2.4K]3 years ago

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.

Sonja [21]

From left to right.

1) Cytokinesis is almost finishesd, so it’s the end of Telophase

2) The chromatids have just split up and are migrating to each pole, so it’s Anaphase

3) All chromosomes are in the equatorial plane, so it’s the end of Metaphase

4) The chromosomes are in the poles and cytokinesis has just started, so it’s the beginning of Telophase

5) The spindle apparatus is complete and the chromosomes are moving to the equatorial plate, so it’s the beginning of Metaphase

6) The spindle apparatus is forming, so it’s Prophase

 

If you want to put them in chronological order, it’s like this:

6-5-3-2-4-1
