Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 3. \ GAGCTC}}$

Explanation:

Amino acids are the monomers or building blocks of protein. Proteins are created during protein synthesis according to the genetic information or DNA in an organism.

The DNA is translated to messenger RNA in the nucleus. It travels to the ribosome. There, the mRNA is "read off" in threes. <u>Three nucleotides</u> make up a <u>codon.</u> Transfer RNA with the corresponding anticodon and an amino acid attaches to the codon and a chain of amino acid forms.

If 3 nucleotides make 1 codon which makes 1 amino acid, then we need double that or 6 nucleotides to make 2 amino acids.

The only answer choice with 6 nucleotides is <u>Choice 3: GAGCTC</u>

Answer:

Currently, most methamphetamine in the United States is produced by transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) in Mexico.44 This methamphetamine is highly pure, potent, and low in price. The drug can be easily made in small clandestine laboratories, with relatively inexpensive over-the-counter ingredients such as pseudoephedrine, a common ingredient in cold medications.

To curb production of methamphetamine, Congress passed the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act in 2005, which requires that pharmacies and other retail stores keep logs of purchases of products containing pseudoephedrine and limits the amount of those products an individual can purchase per day. Restrictions on the chemicals used to make methamphetamine in the United States have dramatically reduced domestic production of the drug. In 2010, there were 15,256 domestic methamphetamine laboratory incidents—a figure that has fallen over 80 percent to 3,036 in 2017.44 Data on drug seizures indicate that most domestic production of methamphetamine is now conducted in small laboratories that make two ounces or less of the drug using common household items.44

Mexico has also tightened its restrictions on pseudoephedrine and other methamphetamine precursor chemicals. But manufacturers adapt to these restrictions via small- or large-scale "smurfing" operations: obtaining pseudoephedrine from multiple sources, below the legal thresholds, using multiple false identifications. Manufacturers in Mexico are also increasingly using a different production process (called P2P which stands for pseudoephedrine’s precursor chemical, phenyl-2-propanone) to make methamphetamine that does not require pseudoephedrine.

When methamphetamine is smuggled into the United States in powder or liquid form, domestic conversion laboratories transform it into crystal methamphetamine. These laboratories do not require a significant amount of equipment, so they can be small in size and thus easily concealed, which presents challenges to law enforcement agencies.44 Methamphetamine pressed into a pill form intended to resemble ecstasy has also recently emerged, potentially in an effort to make methamphetamine more appealing to people who haven’t tried it before.44 As with other illicit drugs like heroin and cocaine, methamphetamine is also sometimes laced with fentanyl.44

Methamphetamine production is also an environmental concern; it involves many easily obtained chemicals that are hazardous, such as acetone, anhydrous ammonia (fertilizer), ether, red phosphorus, and lithium. Toxicity from these chemicals can remain in the environment around a methamphetamine production lab long after the lab has been shut down, causing a wide range of damaging effects to health. Because of these dangers, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has provided guidance on cleanup and remediation of methamphetamine labs.

How are the codes (chemical formulas) for pure substances different from those for mixtures?

Gnesinka [82]

Answer : The chemical formula of pure substances are different from those of mixtures because all the matter that exists on earth can be classified into two categories namely; pure substances and mixtures.

A pure substance always consists of a single element or compound. Example Oxygen is formed only of oxygen (O) atoms; whereas the table salt which is formed only by sodium chloride (NaCl) molecules is a compound which is made up of pure elements. A pure substance cannot be further divided into its components.

A mixture is made up of different compounds and/or elements. It can be easily separated using any physical method. Example, sand, salt and saw dust mixed together as a mixture. Also, it will not have a definite chemical formula.

What is 2H2 + O2 2H2O in oxidation form and in reduction form?

Eva8 [605]

In the reaction of water, 2H2 is oxidized to form 2H2O by gaining oxygen atom which shows that 2H2 is reducing agent as it undergoes oxidation.

<h3>What is reducing agent?</h3>

A reducing agent is a type of chemical that "donates" an electron to another atom that needs an electron. This type of reaction in which loss of electron occurs is called reduction reaction.

So we can conclude that 2H2 is oxidized to form 2H2O by gaining oxygen atom which shows that 2H2 is reducing agent as it undergoes oxidation.

How many molecules are there in 223 grams of Na2SO4?

Harlamova29_29 [7]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 9.45 × 10^23 molecules

<h3><u>Explanation; </u></h3>

The molar mass of Na2SO4 = 142.04 g/mol

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

= 223/142.04

= 1.57 moles

But;

1 mole = 6.02 × 10^23 molecules

Therefore;

1.57 moles = ?

= 1.57 × 6.02 × 10^23 molecules

<u>= 9.45 × 10^23 molecules </u>
