Answer:
In the mRNA sequence AUGGUGCAUGUC the maximum number of amino acids that can be encoded is 4 (option A).
Explanation:
Messenger RNA (mRNA) has a sequence of nitrogenous bases produced by the transcription of a DNA strand. This sequence of bases is organized in triplets or codons —made up of 3 nitrogenous bases— that can encode an amino acid, or mark the beginning or end —STOP codon—of protein synthesis.
From the sequence:
AUGGUGCAUGUC
Four codons are obtained, each of which encodes a different amino acid:
<em>Codons: AUG-GUG-CAU-GUC</em>
<em>Amino acids: Met - Val - His - Val</em>
<em>Methionine Valine Histidina and Valine are the four amino acids encoded by the 12 nucleotide sequence of the mRNA.</em>

Answer:
the molecules are farther apart in ice than in liquid water.
Explanation:
The correct answer would be that<u> the molecules of water are farther apart in ice than in liquid water.</u>
<em>Water molecules in ice form are usually less dense than water molecules in liquid form. The water molecules in ice usually arrange themselves in a lattice form, unlike the random form in liquid water. This arrangement makes water molecules in ice to be more evenly spread out than in their liquid counterpart. Thus, ice is usually less dense than liquid water and will obey the principle of flotation by floating on water. </em>
