Answer:

The codons that code for LEUCINE amino acid are:

1. UUA

2. UUG

3. CUU

4. CUC

5. CUA

6. CUG

Explanation:

A CODON is a group of three nucleotides in the mRNA molecule that specifies a particular amino acid. It represents a trio combination of nucleotides (A, G, C, U). There are about 64 possible codons formed from four nucleotides used in a combination of three's i.e 4³ = 64. All the codons collectively form the GENETIC CODE, which is used by all known living organisms.

However, since there are only 20 amino acids in nature and 64 possible codons, more than one codon encodes an amino acid. This means that the genetic code is DEGENERATE or REDUNDANT. Hence, in this case involving the amino acid: LEUCINE, the six (6) codons that specify it (depicted in the attached genetic code) are as follows:

- UUA

- UUG

- CUU

- CUC

- CUA

- CUG

In 6-8 sentences, explain how stream volume and speed affect the size, shape, and
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Stream volume and speed directly affects the size, shape, and  flow of streams and rivers.

Explanation:

  • The greater volume results in larger channels and these larger channels will make the flow of stream faster.
  • The flow volume of different streams are related to precipitation and run-off.
  • The earth materials also heavily effect the flow by changing the properties of the water like increase in the mass, hardness, shape, etc.
  • Erosion and deposition is common in the curving type of stream.

How are photosynthesis and<br> cellular respiration opposite chemical reactions?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

The photosynthesis chemical reaction looks like this:

6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O --> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

The cellular respiration chemical reaction looks like this:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ --> 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

As you can see, the processes involve the same substances. However, the reactants and the products are switched. The reactants for photosynthesis are the products for cellular respiration, and vice versa. For example, the products of photosynthesis are glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and oxygen. On the other hand, these are the reactants necessary for cellular respiration.
