A DNA sequence that is 15 nucleotides long would give rise into a polypeptide sequence that was how many amino acids long?

A DNA sequence that is 15 nucleotides long would normally give rise to a polypeptide sequence that would be 5 amino acids long. This is assuming that all the nucleotides in the DNA sequences are strictly coded to form only sense codons and not a single nonsense codon, also called termination codon

A sense codon is a set of three nucleotides also called a triplet, that codes for a particular amino acid. A DNA sequence of 15 nucleotides has 5 codons.

A nonsense or termination codon is one that does not code for any amino acid. There are three nonsense codons found on mRNA, and these are UAA, UAG and UGA.  So if the DNA sequence has one of these, then the amino acids  in the polypeptide chain will be 4 in number

The mutation that causes sickle cell disease in humans is
IgorC [24]

Answer: Missense mutation

Explanation:

Missense mutation is a type of point mutation where a single nucleotide is changed to cause substitution of a different amino acid. This in turns render the resulting protein non-functional.

In the case of sickle-cell disease, the sixth amino acid in the gene sequence, glutamate (GAG) is substituted with valine (GUA), due to Adenine nucleotide changed to Uracil nucleotide. Thus, missense mutation has occurred

2. In order for the lagging strand to elongate during DNA replication, it must
devlian [24]

Answer:B) progress towards the replication fork.

Explanation:

Replication fork is a point on the parental DNA where the DNA is being unwound and separated; and the separated strands are being replicated. Synthesis of a new DNA strand occurs in a 5' -> 3' direction, as the DNA strand serving as the template is read from its 3' -> 5' direction. During replication, two strands of DNA are synthesized: The leading strand is synthesized continuously in the same direction as the replication fork movement while the lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously in the direction opposite to the direction of fork movement, that is, towards the replication fork. The lagging strand is synthesized in short fragments known as Okazaki fragments.
