A 3 base section of mRNA. The ribosome reads 1 codon at a time; translation of a new protein always begins with , or Methionine, the START codon, and ends with a STOP codon.

Molecular models of two different substances are shown below. in the molecule on the left, the oxygen atom pulls on electrons more strongly than the hydrogen atoms. in the molecule on the right, the two oxygen atoms pull on the shared electrons with the same strength. water molecule, h,o oxygen molecule, oz when the two substances are put in the same container, they do not attract each other. why does this happen? a. they both contain oxygen. b. one is polar and one is nonpolar. c . they are both polar. d. they contain different elements.

Can bacteria reproduce in a way such that when you start out with two bacteria, you get five bacteria? why or why not? * a. yes, because bacteria reproduce sexually, and can produce any number of offspring, just as humans do. b. no, because bacteria grow at an exponential rate. c. no, because when bacteria reproduce, they split into two parts, and two bacteria splitting would result in four bacteria.

Some tools have graduations to show multiple measurements. for example, a ruler may have graduations for both millimeters and centimeters. when measuring the length of an earthworm, which graduations would allow for the most accurate measurement? millimeters centimeters decimeters meters
