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

Biology
1 answer:
Usimov [2.4K]2 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.

What might the shape of the skull and the supraorbital height tell us about each species?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer: The shape of the skull and the supraorbital height tell us the following about each species-

  • It can tell us about the intelligence of species and what all senses they were dependent upon for their survival
  • Most of the species possess similar skulls as mostly their structures are  oval shaped, sloped or round shaped.
  • Species have different food habits that is determined by the teeth, which vary from long and dull to short and dull.
  • Variation in teeth and face shapes could also be due to different geological locations.
  • In particular, the foramen magnum be located where the spine connects can be attributed to how the species gathered food through hunting and what kind of food they sought after.
  • Overall, the shape and the supraorbital height of each skull informs us the advantages and disadvantages each species had in its ecosystem.
  • It also tells what probable causes of death would be when the species died.
