Answer:

9 amino acids

Explanation:

A segment of a gene that has 27 nucleotides will code for<u> 9 amino acids.</u>

<em>Each codon on the gene potentially represents an amino acid and a codon is made up of 3 nucleotides each. Hence, in order to find out the total number of amino acids that a gene segment with 27 nucleotides can code for, the number of nucleotides should be divided by 3.</em>

    number of amino acids = number of nucleotides/3

                     27/3 = 9 codons/amino acids

NemiM [27]

Answer:

The hydrophobic core of the membrane does not allow the charged particles to pass through it.

Explanation:

The inner core of the membrane is made up of hydrophobic fatty acid tails of phospholipids. Due to this, some substances such as large, charged and polar particles cannot cross the membrane. This is why Na+ with a positive charge cross the membrane with the help of transport proteins only. On the other hand, molecular oxygen (O2) has a small structure and does not carry any charge. Therefore, it can cross the membrane without any help of transport proteins.
