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,

Hello!! Your answer would be Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC). In some cases of DIC, it can cut off blood supply to your liver, brain, and kidneys when you are cut. In other cases of DIC, you have a high risk of serious bleeding with a big injury or just a small one, you can also bleed spontaneously. I hope I helped and gave you the right answer you were looking for. Have a great night!!

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The main job of red blood cells, or erythrocytes, is to carry oxygen from the lungs to the body tissues and carbon dioxide as a waste product, away from the tissues and back to the lungs. Hemoglobin (Hgb) is an important protein in the red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of our body.
