Answer:

TTC codon encodes for Phenylalanine (Phe)

Explanation:

A codon (also known as a nucleotide triplet) is a sequence of DNA or RNA composed of three consecutive nucleotides. During protein synthesis, each codon specifies a particular amino acid or stop signal (i.e., termination codons). There are 64 possible codons, 61 encode for amino acids, while three (3) codons represent stop signals (e.g., UAG, UAA, UGA). In this case, TTC (i.e., UUC codon in the mRNA) codon encodes the amino acid Phenylalanine, while TTA (i.e., UUA codon in the mRNA sequence) codon encodes the amino acid Leucine.

Where does nad+ deliver electrons compared to fad in cellular respiration?

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The correct answer would be "NADH delivers its electrons to complex I and FADH₂ deliver its electrons to complex II" in cellular respiration.

There are mainly four complexes associated with electron transport chain of cellular respiration.

Complex I or NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase is the complex at which NADH is oxidized to form NAD⁺. The free electrons are transported with the help of ubiquinone.

Complex II or succinate dehydrogenase is the complex associated with oxidation of FADH₂ to FAD⁺. It also transports the free electrons with the help of the ubiquinone pool.

Complex III or cytochrome bc1 complex transport free electrons from ubiquinone to the cytochrome C which is a water-soluble electron carrier.

Complex IV or cytochrome c oxidase transport the free electrons to oxygen to form water.

. A researcher studies the evolutionary relationships between influenza viruses by comparing the genomic sequences of the viruse

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

pigs

Explanation:

Influenza is an infectious disease caused by influenza viruses, which can be divided into four types A, B, C and D. In humans, influenza A and B viruses are known to cause epidemics, while A viruses are known to cause pandemics. Influenza viruses are also found in birds and mammals (e.g., dogs, cats, cattle pigs and horses). Cross-species virus transmission refers to the transmission process of infectious viruses between hosts from different species. Several viruses that may cause severe diseases in humans have originated from animal species, e.g., avian influenza A virus that can be transmitted to humans through an intermediate host (e.g., pigs). Other examples of cross-species virus transmission include the Ebola virus and Hantaviruses. It has been suggested that cross-species transmission is a common phenomenon in rapidly evolving viruses.
