Answer: The correct answer is Gene.
Gene is a segment of DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) that codes for a protein. The protein thus formed corresponds to a specific trait of the organism.
The gene first undergoes transcription to synthesize mRNA ( messenger RNA), which is finally translated to form protein.
Thus, the term associated with transcription and that describe regions of nucleic acid is gene.
Answer:
Mendel worked with pea plants showing complete dominance for various characteristics
- E.g. flower color, plants either have purple flowers or white flowers
- A particular genotype produces a recognizable phenotype
Answer:
A
Explanation:
the t in tRNA means to transfer
Answer:
5 amino acids
Explanation:
The process of translation involves synthesizing a sequence of amino acids from a mRNA template. The mRNA molecule is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODONS. A codon specifies or codes for an amino acid.
In the question, a mRNA sequence was given as follows: AUGUACUCGCGACCGUAA. From this sequence comprising of 6 codons, 5 possible amino acids will be contained in the polypeptide encoded by this mRNA molecule as the last codon (UAA) is a STOP codon. The following are the codons in the mRNA sequence and their respective amino acids:
*AUG- methionine (met)
*UAC - tyrosine (Tyr)
*UCG - Serine (Ser)
*CGA - Arginine (Arg)
*CCG - Proline (Pro)
*UAA - Stop
