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

A number of antibiotics attack prokaryotic protein synthesis, but not eukaryotic protein synthesis. Name two common antibiotics
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Streptomycin and Erythromycine.

<u>Streptomycin:</u> inhibit protein synthesis by combining irreversibly with 30s subunit mRNA.Thus the normal synthetic sequences is disrupted.

Streptomycin does not stop protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells because it does not bind to eukaryotic ribosomes.

<u>Erythromycine:T</u>he Erythromycine inhibits  protein synthesis through interference with the binding 50s subunit ribosome.

Erythromycin does not estop protien synthesis in eukaryotic cells because it does not binds to eukaryotic ribosome.Specificity towards prokaryotes relies upon the absence of 50S ribosomes in eukaryotes.

 Antibiotics block processes that occur in prokaryotic cells but not in eukaryotic cells that's why they not affect ekaryotes.

Explanation:

Antibiotics are simply chemicals that kill prokaryotic cells but do not harm eukaryotic cells. They are natural chemicals produced by fungi and bacteria that act to control their bacterial competitors.

Antibiotics block processes that occur in prokaryotic cells but not in eukaryotic cells that's why they not affect eukaryotes.

There are different classes of antibiotics inhibit different steps of prokaryotic life cycle.

<u>Streptomycin and Erythromycin </u>are group of antibiotics that inhibit protein synthesis of bacteria.They are specifically effective against prokaryotes does not inhibit protien synthesis of eukaryotes.

trapecia [35]

The nurse should withhold anticonvulsant medications for 24 to 48 hours before the test.

EEG  is electroencephalogram, a test that detects electrical activity in the brain via electrodes attached to the scalp. Brain activity is represented as wavy lines on an EEG recording.

EEG is safe and painless. On the day of test, anything with caffeine should be avoided because it can affect the test results.
