There are only about 40 different tRNAs in a cell even though 61 codons code for amino acids. This discrepancy can be attributed

to the fact that the first nucleotide in the anticodon can base-pair with more than one nucleotide in the codon. This phenomenon is known as __________ and is, in part, due to __________ and the presence of __________ at this position in some tRNA molecules.

Answer:

The correct answer is - wobble; the curvature of the anticodon loop; inosine.

Explanation:

The wobble phenomenon or hypothesis tells that why there are multiple codons are present for a single amino acid. 20  amino acids are coded by 61 codons. It states that tRNA can identify and attach to more than one amino acid due to the curvature of the anticodon loop.

The curvature of the anticodon loop is that the base at the 1st position on the anticodon to binding but the less-precise base pairs that can arise between the 3rd base of the codon. The inosine is the nucleoside that presents in a position in the curvature of the anticodon loop and its position responsible for wobble as well.

vivado [14]

The<u> repressor </u>is a type of regulator protein that binds to a region of DNA in the promoter of a gene called the operator and prevents transcription from taking place.

In the field of science, a regulator protein can be described as a kind of protein that affects the transcription of a gene by having an influence on particular DNA sites. The rate of synthesis of various proteins is controlled by the regulator proteins.

A repressor is a kind of regulator protein that prevents the transcription of a particular gene. When the rate of a protein in the body has reached normal, the transcription of the protein needs to be stopped in order for more protein of that kind to be formed. The repressor binds itself to the operator region for the gene, hence stopping the transcription process until the protein is required again.

Which of the following characteristics of plants is absent in their closest relatives, the charophyte algae?
Phoenix [80]

Answer: d. alternation of multicellular generations

Explanation:

The gametophytic as well as the sporophytic generations are alternative in the life cycle of the multicellular plants. This can be seen among the land plants. This feature cannot be seen in the algal species as they are unicellular in nature. Thus cannot be seen in the relatives of charophyta algae.

A mother has brought her 2-week-old infant to the emergency department due to the baby's persistent and increasing jaundice. Blo
Sliva [168]

Answer: Phototherapy

Explanation:

As the infant is only 2 weeks old, the most appropriate technique used is the Phototherapy. As the condition is not that severe it can be cured by phototherapy.

Photo therapy is usually given to the children suffering from jaundice when they are born. This is a special type of light  that is not sunlight.

It is used in case of high bilirubin level.This light lowers the level of bilirubin levels in the baby's blood.

This process is basically photo oxidation in which the oxygen gets added to the bilirubin which helps easy dissolution of the bilirubin in the water.

This lowers down its level in the blood.
