Answer: The maximum number of amino acids that could be coded is 2
Explanation:
- A codon in this microorganism is 2 bases instead of 3 bases .
- In order to encode a protein a sequence requires a start and stop codon
- If you assume no start codon: then only 2 bases would make up the stop codon.
- This leaves 4 bases which is 2 codons. This would encode 2 amino acids.
- If you assume a start and stop codon, then each codon would be allocated 2 base pairs each = 4 base pairs
- This only leaves 2 base pairs, a single codon which would only code for 1 amino acid
Answer: Energy released in the electron transport chain is captured as a proton gradient, which powers production of ATP by a membrane protein called ATP synthase.
Explanation:
<span>6 Turns of the Calvin Cycle→ 1 C₆H₁₂O₆
6CO₂ → 1 C₆H₁₂O₆
18 ATP + 12 NADPH → 1 C₆H₁₂O₆
ATP is used elsewhere by the cell.</span>
Answer:
The synthesis of RNA from a DNA template.
Explanation:
We know that transcription is the first step in gene expression. In the transcription process, information from a gene is used to build a functional product such as a protein. The primary goal of transcription is to produce an RNA copy of a gene's from a DNA sequence.
For a protein-coding gene, the RNA copy, or transcript, carries that information that is needed to build a polypeptide.
Eukaryotic transcripts need to go through some processing steps before starting of translation into proteins.
