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

A main function of most types of epithelial tissue is covering surfaces.They line major all hollow surfaces, and covering body surfaces.

Resorption id the movement of fluid from the glomerular filtrate back into the blood. Ions, glucose,and other escaped metabolites are returned to the blood stream.

In humans, goosebumps are a vestige of a mammalian adaptation to thermoregulation. This is a thermoregulatory mechanism to regulate the body temperature,Goosebumps emits heat,  to turn the moisture from the skin  to vapour. This evaporate to release this moisture, which cools the body.
