The genetic code was originally deciphered, in part, by experiments in which synthetic polynucleotides with repeating sequences were used as mRNAs to direct protein synthesis in cell-free extracts. Under these conditions, ribosomes could be made to start translation anywhere within the RNA molecules, with no start codon necessary. What peptide would be made by translation from a synthetic mRNA made of the repeating dinucleotide CGCG…?
A. a polymer of arginine plus a polymer of alanine
B. the peptide Met–Arg–Ala–Arg–Ala…
C. a polymer of alanine: Ala–Ala–Ala…
D. a peptide containing alternating arginines and alanines
E. a polymer of arginine: Arg–Arg–Arg…

a peptide containing alternating arginines and alanines.

Explanation:

As the mRNA has a repeating unit of CGCG.

Now if we extend the units with more CG (CGCGCGCGCGCG) the pairing will be as CGC-GCG-CGC-GCG. and if we see the amino acids coded by these codons are arginine for CGC and alanine for GCG.

As this synthetic mRNA doesn't require any initiation codon (AUG) thus the polypeptide will not have methionine, which is the first amino acid in every polypeptide coded by the initiation codon.

Thus, the synthetic mRNA will code for peptide having alternating arginines and alanines amino acids.

affects the water bodies: excessive use of fertilizers causes eutrophication. the fertilizers which are used on plants affect the quality of land on which it is used, further causing erosion of soil. the fertilizers used on plants contain harmful chemical fumes which affect the environment.

succession returns a disturbed

ecosystem to a more stable state. this is also classified into two (2) types:

primary succession and secondary succession. the primary succession arises when

a new land is transformed and a bare rock has been exposed providing an environment

that can be occupied for the first time. while, secondary succession occurs

when a previously occupied environment was disturbed that kills much of all its

community
