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.

Why do you think bread turns moldy less quickly when it is kept in a refrigerator than when it is kept at room temperature

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Hi there!

I think bread turns moldy less quickly when it is kept in a refrigerator than when it is kept at room temperature because bacteria eats foods like bread and causes mold, and less bacteria grow in colder temperatures. Since less types of bacteria thrive in colder temperatures, it takes longer for less bacteria to create mold.

Hope this helps!

In which element and a fragmented landscape would you expect to find the largest number of species

k0ka [10]

Answer:

A corridor that is attached or connected to a large patch.

Explanation:

Corridors in biology can either be within an aquatic or terrestrial environment. The movement of animals is mostly between these two corridors, or corridors within the main ones. Because corridors are very long and continuous strips of land or water with much vegetation or reefs, there are numerous amounts of species. These corridors are meant to aid movement of animals, so it is only natural that there would be a large amount of them at the end of a corridor.

Contrast the genetic content and the origin of sister versus nonsister chromatids during their earliest appearance in prophase I

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Sister chromatids are identical forms of chromatids of a chromosomes. They are mostly formed by semi-conservative replication of DNA molecule of a single chromosome.Thus they are like 'photocopies' of original parent chromosomes; joined together at the Centromere.

They are exactly similar in all ramification; with the same gene and allele compositions..

However; slight differences arise between the two identical sisters due to mutation from errors at replication;and also in the length of telomere repeats.

Non-sister chromatids are dissimilar forms of chromatids of a chromosomes formed when each half of a chromosome at fertilisation from separate haploid sex-cells, of each parent. fused.They contain different genetic composition;because they are not on the same homologous chromosomes.Therefore crossing -over ensure variation.

However, they are genetically similar in composition; if they are contained in homologous chromosomes. This is because Synapsis of bivalent of these chromosomes allow genetic material to be shared by chromosomal crossing-over between the non-sister chromatids on the chromosomes ; therefore identical genetic characteristics are shared .
