The mRNA sequence would be:

AUG GGG UUC GAG CCA UAG

The mRNA sequence is complementary to the DNA sequence, in other words would just basically mean you do the opposite of the bases to the DNA sequence such that:

Cytosine with Guanine

Thymine (uracil for RNA) with Adenine

However, mRNA has Uracil instead of Thymine, so instead the uracil in mRNA binds with adenine.

Urcacil with Adenine

For tRNA, they have anticodons, meaning they have bases complementary to the mRNA strand, so the tRNA with the complementary anticodon sequence would be:

UAC CCC AAG CUC GGU AUC (DNA sequence but replace thymine with uracil)

For the amino acids, they would bond to the specific tRNA molecules with the specific bases on the anticodons.

Which of the following statements about gluconeogenesis in animal cells is true?

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

C. THE CONVERSION OF FRUCTOSE 1,6-BISPHOSPHATE to fructose- 6- phosphate is not catalyzed by phosphofructokinase -1, the enzyme involved in glycolysis.

Explanation:

This statement is true as the enzyme involved in this step is FRUCTOSE-1,6-BISPHOSPHATASE.

Gluconeogenesis is the coversion of non-carbohydrate molecules (lactic acid, amino acids, glycerol) through the pyruvic acid into glucose in the cells.

This process takes place mainly in the liver and occurs during periods of fasting, starvation, low carbohydrate diets.

The pathway of gluconeogenesis involves eleven steps of enzymatic catalyzed reactions.

In the conversion of fructose 1,6- bisphosphate to fructose-6-phosphate is catalyzed by fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase and not by phosphofructokinase -1 which is involved in glycolysis. This step is a rate-limiting step of the pathway.

The conversion of glucose-6-phospahte to glucose is not catalyzes by hexokinase but glucose -6- phosphatase.

Wittaler [7]

Katie has a rare neurological disease in which her neurons can receive new information and process it, but some of them just cannot pass the information along. This disease most likely affects the axon of the neurons. Since axon is the signal transmitting end of the neuron, if the fusion of the vesicles containing the neurotransmitters with the cell membrane around the synaptic cleft is hampered, then the signal transmission gets disrupted.

Disulfide bonds are important in determining and stabilizing protein structure. Which amino acid, if mutated, will affect the fo

elixir [45]

Answer:

c. cysteine

Explanation:

Cysteine is a non essential amino acid. It contains sulfur in form of thiol group. A disulfide bond or bridge is formed between two thiol groups. It is represented as S-S. It is formed by oxidation of two cysteine molecules. The resultant disulfide bond is called as cystine which connects two polypeptide chains.

Cysteine is the only amino acid capable of forming disulfide bridge. It stabilizes protein's globular structure and plays an important role in protein folding and stability. Cysteine is required for protein synthesis, metabolic processes and detoxification. It is the part of beta-keratin which is the main protein in nails, hair and skin. If cysteine is mutated, formation of disulfide bond will be affected.
