“DNA” stands for: Deoxyribonucleic Acid

The researchers used different radioactive elements to label the DNA and proteins in viruses. This allowed them to identify which molecule the viruses inserted into bacteria. DNA was the molecule they identified. This confirmed that DNA is the genetic material.

The wild-type form of a gene encodes a protein of length 100 amino acids. A mutant allele has a UAA (instead of the wild-type, C
Orlov [11]

Answer:

48 amino acids

Explanation:

The wild type gene codes for a protein with 100 amino acids. One amino acid is encoded by one triplet code of the gene. This means that the wild type gene has a total 100 triplets or 300 nucleotides to code for a protein of 100 amino acid. Mutation in this protein has introduced the code "UAA" at the 49th codon. The code "UAA" is a stop codon. Therefore, the mRNA transcribed from the mutant allele would code for a protein having 48 amino acids as the protein synthesis will be stopped once the stop codon at the 49th position is read.

Which of the following characteristics is directly related to the coding of a single amino acid during the process of translatio
likoan [24]

Answer:

C) the three-base sequence of mRNA

Explanation:

Three-base sequence of mRNA is called codon. One codon specifies a single amino acid. There are 64 codons in eukaryotic cells and three of them are stop codons (non-coding).

tRNA have three-base sequence called anticodon which is complementary to specific codon. During the process of translation codon and anticodon are paired which leads to addition of amino acid to growing polypeptide chain. Newly added amino acid is carried by tRNA.
