Answer:
Azidothymidine
Explanation:
Azidothymidine (AZT) is one of the nucleoside analogs that is used in the treatment of AIDS as it inhibits the process of reverse transcription of HIV (Human immunodeficiency virus).
The HIV replicates by making DNA copies of RNA through the process of reverse transcription. The process is driven by enzyme reverse transcriptase. Azidothymidine (AZT) serves to inhibit the activity of reverse transcriptase enzyme and thereby does not allow HIV to reproduce.
Answer:
Part A: Thr-Leu-Val
Part B: ACC-UUG-GUU
Explanation:
When you transcribe a DNA sequence to mRNA, you need to remember that in RNA there is no Thymine (T), instead it has Uracil (U). So the base pairings would be like this compared to DNA base pairing:
DNA RNA
A-T A-U
T-A T-A
C-G G-C
G-C C-G
Given the sequence the transcription will be as follows:
DNA : TGG - AAC - CAA
mRNA: ACC - UUG - GUU
Next, to translate it into amino acids, you will use the chart. Now amino acids pair in codons (3 base pairs at a time). Let's take the first codon in your sequence:
ACC
1st 2nd 3rd
A C C
Using the column on the left, find the row that matches it, so in this case A.
At the very top, there is another row of letters, looking at the row of A only, look for the column of the second base which is C.
Lastly, look at the right most column and find the letter that matches the third base within the box where A and C intersect. In this case, C is your third base.
The amino acid where all three intersect is your first amino acid which is Thr.
Just do this for the next codons and you will come up with the answer.

Answer:
Muscles can also receive messages from the brain when the body temperature decreases. They respond by shivering. Shivering causes the muscles to contract and relax quickly. This process generates heat.
A. Evolution is a scientific theory, and scientific theories have many hypothesis and experiments that support their findings.
