When the ribosome reaches a nonsense codon, which of the following occurs?

Biology
1 answer:
vlada-n [2.5K]1 month ago
8 0

Response:

The accurate answer is option - the polypeptide is released.

Explanation:

Non-sense codons are those that lack t-RNA and therefore do not specify any amino acids, resulting in the halting of the translation process.

The primary non-sense codons include UGA, UAA, and UAG, which signal the ribosome to cease translation, as these codons are not associated with any t-RNA, resulting in the ribosome letting go of the polypeptide through the E-site while concluding the process.

Consequently, the option - the polypeptide is released is accurate.

enyata [2506]
The benefit of reduced gametophytes in seed plants is that they obtain nutrients from the sporophytes. Gametophytes are tiny and can develop from spores that are kept within the parental sporophyte's sporangia. This setup shields the growing gametophyte from environmental stress, allowing it to absorb nutrients from the sporophyte.

Consider an animal cell in which motor proteins in the kinetochores normally pull the chromosomes along the kinetochore microtub
enyata [2506]

The proper response is "yes, yes, no" or "B, B, A".

Clarification:

In this hypothetical situation, an inhibitor obstructs the function of motor proteins in the kinetochore while still allowing the kinetochore to stay attached to the spindle. The animal cells treated with this inhibitor can elongate during mitosis, leading to the separation of sister chromatids, but the chromosomes will remain still instead of moving to the poles of the cell. The only action the inhibitor affects is the motor protein function, which is responsible for the movement of chromosomes to the poles during cell mitosis.

The composition of the secretions of the eccrine glands is ________.metabolic wastes99% water, sodium chloride, trace amounts of
enyata [2506]

Answer:

99% water, sodium chloride, trace elements of waste, and vitamin C

Explanation:

Eccrine glands are the primary sweat glands present in our body. They are distributed throughout the skin, but are denser on the palms, soles, and scalp.

99% of the secretion from eccrine glands consists of water, with the remaining 1% comprising sodium, small amounts of waste, and a significant quantity of vitamin C being excreted through these glands.

Since the eccrine gland facilitates sweating, it plays a crucial role in regulating body temperature. Given that 99% of its secretion is water, dehydration and fluid loss become significant concerns during heavy sweating.
