Answer:
C) 30,000
Explanation:
According to the given information, the bacterial mRNA consists of about 800 nucleotides. Three consecutive nucleotides together make one genetic codon which in turn codes for one specific amino acid in the protein encoded by this mRNA.
So, an mRNA with 800 nucleotides will have total 800/3 = 266.67 or 266 genetic codes. The protein encoded by this mRNA would have a total of 266 amino acids.
Given that one amino acid imparts 110 units to the molecular weight of the protein, the protein with 266 amino acids have the molecular weight= 266 x 110 = 29260, that is about 30,000.
One of the major problems of monoculture farming is the variety of species. If there are no varieties in the producer level in the food chain all other organisms within the ecosystem would be affected.
Answer:
(2) exchange food, oxygen, and waste between
mother and fetus
Explanation:
In most mammals like humans, the fetus produced as a result of the fertilization of the sperm and egg, develops in the uterus or womb of the female. However, this developing fetus cannot yet fend for what it requires for survival and is still dependent on the mother e.g nutrients, oxygen etc. How do this substances get to the fetus? Here comes the role of the PLACENTA.
Placenta is an organ in the uterus that serves as a connection between the mother and the fetus in her womb. The placenta enables the mother to pass digested nutrients to the fetus and exchange gases (oxygen and Carbondioxide) between them via the umbilical cord. The placenta also enables the mother remove waste produced by the fetus into her bloodstream.
