Calculate the number of amino acids encoded by a DNA sequence of 36 nucleotides

Biology

ipn [44]2 years ago

Answer:

See answer below

Explanation:

Hi there,

Assuming this DNA strand is fully capable of being mature mRNA (5' m7G cap and PolyA tail), nucleotides lead to an mRNA codon, which is 3 nucleotides per codon. In turn, 1 codon leads to 1 amino acid. However, as a single strand, it must be capable of terminating translation, which always requires a stop codon, and thus 3 nucleotides. Hence, we must subtract this from the total amount of codons first.

Hence, only 11 amino acids will be coded by a single DNA strand 36 ncltd long.

thanks,

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Dominant: 20, Recessive: 20

Explanation:

The case shown in the question above explores simple Mendelian traits, since it shows a population where individuals of the same species present the dominant allele (R- red) and the recessive allele (r- white). We can project, then, that this population has an allele balance, where it is possible to find 20 red beans, which have the dominant allele and 20 white beans, which present the recessive allele.

How might producing offspring with a wide variety of variations help a species to survive
tatiyna
The variations might help the organism to survive if there is a change in its environment
Eg heat resistant bacteria

The variation might help the organism survive predators
Eg. Green beetles blend with green leaves thus disabling crows to spot them

Do we use fusion in real life? Why or why not?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Yes..? Kind of.

Explanation:

Fusion is the combination of lighter nuclei into heavier nuclei. Yes, this is seen in nature; the sun. The sun is an example of fusion. However, on earth, no. To fuse 2 nuclei, you need extreme temperature and extreme pressure to fuse them together because the nuclei are the same charges. So, yes, but not really?
