A) In how many cases in the genetic code would you fail to know the amino acid specified by a codon if you knew only the first t

wo nucleotides of the codon?

Answer:

a) 28 cases

b)  3 cases

Explanation:

a) From the table of genetic codes, there are 28 codons that specify more than one amino acid assuming only the first two nucleotides are considered. In these cases, one cannot outrightly specify the amino acid the genetic codes are coding for without knowing the last nucleotide of the codes. <em>For example, UU can be for Phenylalanine or Leucine, CA can be for Histidine or Glutamine, etc. </em>

b) From the table of genetic codes, the first two nucleotides of Arginine can be either of CG or AG, that of Serine can be either of UC or AG while that Leucine can be either of CU or UU. Only in these <u>3 cases</u> would one fail to know which are the first two nucleotides assuming the name of the amino acids are given.

A particular protein largely lacks both secondary and tertiary structure. which factor, if any, is mainly responsible for the re
NemiM [27]

Entropy, is mainly responsible for the resting state of this protein.

Hydrogen bonds, disulfide bonds, and dipole-dipole interactions produce the complicated folding styles seen in secondary and tertiary structure. however, if a protein does not have these elements of structure, it'll undertake a kingdom in which its entropy is maximized.

Secondary shape is determined through hydrogen bonding within the amino acid chain backbone. Tertiary structure is the entire protein's form, decided Entropy Interplay and hydrophobic forces. The tertiary shape of a protein is the 3 dimensional shape of the protein. Disulfide bonds, hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic interactions all affect the form a protein takes.

The nonpolar amino acids have formed the nonpolar center of the protein, weak van der Waals forces stabilize the protein. furthermore, hydrogen bonds and ionic interactions between the polar, charged amino acids make a contribution to the tertiary structure.

Disclaimer: your question is incomplete, please see below for complete question

A. Entropy

B. Hydrogen bonds between amino acid residues

C. Dipole-dipole interactions

D. None of the above
