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.

Monica [59]
<span>Evolution is the process by which character trait mutations give a benefit to the gene holder over other members of the same species. Moving from seeing merely shadows and light to seeing colors yields the obvious benefit of more easily detecting predators and prey, thereby at once making the gene holder more alert to potential dangers and more readily able to find food. These obvious benefits made primates more likely to thrive.</span>

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) block the actions of the COX enzymes and their production of eicosanoids from ___
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Arachidonic acids

Explanation:

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are drugs used due to their analgesic, anti-inflammatory effects.

It inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme that takes part in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins (PGs) and thromboxane (TX) and the production of eicosanoids.

Eicosanoids are made by the enzymatic or non-enzymatic oxidation of arachidonic acid or from other polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that are close to arachidonic acid which are 20 carbon units in length.

They are important cell signaling molecules that inhibit inflammation, allergy, fever,regulate abortion of pregnancy and normal childbirth, regulating cell growth.

Musicians must train their muscles to play instruments, just as athletes must train their muscles to play sports. true or false?
katen-ka-za [31]
