An endotherm, also called as a warm-blooded organism, has the ability to generate heat internally. One advantage to being an endotherm, instead of an ectotherm, is that an endotherm can generate its own body heat. This kind of organism can create a favorable level of body heat that is independent of its environment. Endotherms include mammals and birds.
The correct answer is: A) GABA
GABA or γ-aminobutyric acid is a type of amino acid that's found in proteins. It is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain which means that GABA reduces neuronal excitability throughout the nervous system. GABA binds to its receptors that are located on the neuron’s plasma membrane. This binding causes the opening of ion channels that transport chloride ions into the cell or potassium ions out of the cell.
Answer:
The question is incomplete, it lacks the mRNA sequence. The sequence is as follows:
5′−AUGGCAAGAAAA−3′
The answer is Met-Ala-Arg-Lys
Explanation:
Gene expression in living organisms involves the process of transcription and translation. Transcription is the synthesis of a complementary strand of mRNA from a DNA template while translation involves using the transcibed mRNA as a template to synthesize amino acid sequence (proteins).
In the RIBOSOME, where the synthesis of protein occurs, the mRNA nuceleotide sequence is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON. Each codon specifies a particular amino acid. The collection of all codons is the genetic code. Hence, for a specific mRNA sequence that reads 5′−AUGGCAAGAAAA−3′. The nucleotides will be read three at a time starting with AUG which is a codon that encodes METHIONINE.
Next, GCA is a codon that encodes ALANINE
Next, AGA is a codon that encodes ARGININE
Finally, AAA is a codon that encodes LYSINE.
Hence, the amino acid sequence using the above mRNA sequence, will read: Met-Ala-Arg-Lys
