An RNA sequence includes 12 nitrogenous bases, AUGGUGCAUGUC. What is the maximum number of amino acids for which this sequence c
GREYUIT [131]

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>

The bacteria grown in Luria broth with only lactose were expected to: Select one: a. Grow much faster than those grown in Luria
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Option D is correct

Explanation:

Luria broth contains yeast concentrate so it would show a marked B- galactosidase activity which is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of B- galactosides including lactose and it is the first step of lactose fermentation.

All cells need energy to live. How do the organelles in the plant cell above work together to get and use this energy?
Sloan [31]

Answer:

chloroplast: makes food for plant cells, photosynthesis

mitochondria:produces energy the cell needs to carry out its functions; release energy

vacuole: stores food, water, and waste

lysosome: found mainly in animal cells, digests old cell parts

endoplasmic reticulum: carries proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to the other

cytoplasm: gel -like fluid where the organelles are found

nucleolus: makes ribosomes, center of the nucleus

ribosome: makes proteins

cell membrane:controls

Explanation:

I'm pretty sure the answer is D based on the info above,and because its the only one that has the correct information about the cell parts

hope its correct

What differs among DNA structures of different species?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

D) the arrangement of the nucleotides within genes

Explanation:

De-oxy ribo nucleic acid that is basically a polymer of nucleotides. Nucleotides are composed of three basic units: a de-oxyribose sugar unit, a phosphate group and nitrogenous bases that can be Adenine, Gunanine, Thymine and Cytosine.Adenine always pairs with Thymine and Guanine always pairs with Cytosine.

This is a universal composition of DNA in each and every living organism. The genes are a segment of DNA that contain specific sequence of nucleotides and encode for a specific trait of organism such as height, weight, eye color etc. The sequence of nucleotides expresses the trait in the form of protein product during the process of Translation. The products of translation are amino acids and every amino acids encode for a specific protein  in almost  all living organisms.

So, what differs in the specie is the sequence of nucleotides in genes. Infact this is the nucleotide sequence which brings evolution in organism and organisms evolve to form new specie with the passage of time. One major cause of change in nucleotide sequence is mutations due to which the organisms change with time.

Suppose the sequence of nucleotide of specific gene in organism A is

AAGGGGAAATTT

However in other specie organism B of same specie is:

TAGGGGAAATTT

This means only mutation of one base changed the gene in organism B and also its product called protein.

Hope it help!
