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

The bottleneck effect is used to describe an event where a population decreases. One example involves the northern elephant seal
Svet_ta [14]
I think the best phrase to describe this would be Founder effects. Founder effects occurs when a new colony is started by a few members of the original population. This small population size means that the colony may have; a non-random sample of genes in the original population. Reduced variation from the original population.. According to Bottlenecks and founder effects, genetic drift can cause big losses of genetic variation for small populations.

Consider the events that describe the progress of a protein that will be secreted from the cell. 1. SRP binds to the growing pol
Sphinxa [80]

Answer: the answer is option A. 5 → 1 → 6 → 3 → 2 → 4

Explanation: the events that describe progress of a protein that will be secreted from cell are as follows; Protein synthesis begins in the cytosol,  SRP binds to the growing polypeptide chain and to the ribosome, Translation pauses,  SRP binds to its receptor,   Translation resumes and finally - The signal sequence is cleaved. All these formed the sequence 5 → 1 → 6 → 3 → 2 → 4

True or False: Metals have a higher melting point than water.
OLEGan [10]
The more energy needed, the higher the melting point or boiling point . As metals are giant lattice structures, the number of electrostatic forces to be broken is extremely large, and so metals have high melting and boiling points.

i would go with true.

AB blood type in humans as well as, red and white striped flowers are examples of this type of inheritance pattern.
Sati [7]

Answer:

The inheritance pattern is CODOMINANCE

Explanation:

Codominance is a type of non-mendelian inheritance i.e. does not follow Mendel's principles of inheritance, in which two alleles of a gene are both dominant, hence, they are both simultaneously expressed in that gene.

Examples or cases of codominance are the AB blood type in humans where alleles A and B are both expressed in the gene. Also, red and white striped flowers in certain plants is an example of codominance as red and white alleles are both expressed.
