Answer:

Histidine- Proline- Tryptophan- Stop codon

Explanation:

The mRNA strand in the question is produced as a result of a process called TRANSCRIPTION. However, the mRNA transcript is further used to synthesize an amino acid sequence in a process called TRANSLATION. The mRNA sequence is read in a group of three nucleotide bases called CODON.

Each codon specifies an amino acid which is represented in the GENETIC CODE. In this case, a sequence of mRNA strand is given as: CACCCAUGGUGA

The following codons in the sequence specify the following amino acid:

CAC - Histidine

CCA - Proline

UGG - Tryptophan

UGA - Stop codon

Hence, the amino acid sequence encoded by the given mRNA strand is Histidine- Proline- Tryptophan- Stop codon.

N.B: After a stop codon (UGA, UAA, UAG) is encountered, the translation process stops.

A molecule that has regions of partial positive and partial negative charge
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

A) polar

Explanation:

Polar molecules contains  partial positive and partial negative charge as in all polar molecules two atoms have unequal sharing electron. Due to unequal sharing of electrons, one atom that attracts valence electrons strongly gains positive charge and other gain negative charge.

For example water, water is a polar molecule having partial negative and partial positive charge because the oxygen atom in water attracts electrons more strongly than the hydrogen atoms.

Hence, the correct answer is "A) polar".
