Answer:
3 × 10^8 m/s
Explanation:
The wavelength, can be calculated by using the following formula;
λ = v/f
Where;
λ = wavelength (m)
v = velocity/speed of light (m/s)
f = frequency (Hz)
According to the provided information in this question, λ = 600nm i.e. 600 × 10^-9m, f = 5.00 x 10^14 Hz
Hence, using λ = v/f
v = λ × f
v = 600 × 10^-9 × 5.00 x 10^14
v = 6 × 10^-7 × 5.00 x 10^14
v = 30 × 10^(-7 + 14)
v = 30 × 10^ (7)
v = 3 × 10^8 m/s
Answer:
1. C- Three.
2. A- Methionine
3. D- Translocation.
4. C- OH.
5. A - 5'
6. A - 3' carbon
7. A. adenine and guanine
Explanation:
1. A codon is a group of three nucleotide sequence that encodes or specifies an amino acid. This means that, during translation (second stage of gene expression), when a CODON is read, an amino acid is added to the growing peptide chain.
2. The codon that initiates the translation process is called a start codon. It has a sequence: AUG and it specifies Methionine amino acid. Hence, during translation where a tRNA binds to the mRNA codon to read it and add its corresponding amino acid, a tRNA with a complementary sequence of AUG (start codon) binds to it and carries Methionine amino acid.
3. Translocation is a process during translation whereby the mRNA-tRNA moeity moves forward in the ribosome to allow another codon to move into the vacant site for translation process to continue.
4. The sugar component of a nucelotide that makes up the nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) i.e. ribose or deoxyribose, contains an hydroxyll functional group (-OH).
5. A nucleotide consists of a pentose (five carbon) sugar, phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. The phosphate group (PO43-) is attached to the 5' carbon of the sugar molecule.
6. The free hydroxyll group (-OH) of the five carbon sugar molecule in DNA is attached to its 3' carbon.
7. Nitrogenous bases are the third component of a nucleotide, the other two being pentose sugar and phosphate group. The nitrogenous bases are four viz: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine. These bases are classified into Purines and Pyrimidines based on the similarity in their structure. Adenine (A) and Guanine (G) are Purines because they possess have two carbon-nitrogen rings, as opposed to one possessed by Pyrimidines (Thymine and Cytosine).
D.
Blue litmus paper turns red when placed in a base.
A compound machine is that which is composed of two or more simple machines. Simple machines come in 6 basic types: (1) wheel and axle, (2) inclined plane, (3) wedge, (4) pulley, (5) screw, and (6) lever. Among the choices given above, the compound machine is the can opener for it is a combination of a wedge and a lever.
