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

How do you calculate acceleration?
olasank [31]
Acceleration (a) is the change in velocity (Δv) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation a = Δv/Δt. This allows you to measure how fast velocity changes in meters per second squared (m/s^2). Acceleration is also a vector quantity, so it includes both magnitude and direction.

Example of commensalism in finding nemo
mestny [16]
A type of commensalism is the sea anemone and the clown fish. The definition of commensalism is where another species lives within another. (Usually this relationship is with animals, fungi, and plants.) No harm comes to either species. 

A clown fish lives in a sea anemone, and this doesn't hurt the anemone nor is the clownfish affected by its sting because of their oils that protect them.

If you didn't know, Nemo and his father, Marlin, lives in a sea anemone. A natural habitat of a clown fish.
