Answer: 3. The half- life of the isotope must be long enough to capture the age of the rock. and
4. their should be more than one unstable isotope.
In radioactive dating proces, the parent isotope is in unstable state which undergoes decay process to give stable daughter isotopes. Half-life is the amount of time it takes for half of the parent isotopes to decay. The rock dating requires a long lived parent isotope so that it can capture the exact rock age.
One rock when get decayed in the daughter isotope other will be available identify the age.
Since all of the three beetle species posses the protein, we can use it to determine their relations. We can study the sequence of the amino acids that make the protein and the 3D structure of the protein. The more differences there are in amino acid sequences and the structure of the protein, the species are more distantly related because they have diverged a long time ago and their genes that produce that protein have undergone many changes over time.
Hairs are mostly fibrous proteins and are composed of keratin, and also the main constituent of skin, nails, wool, woof, feathers etc.
Keratin is the essential fibrous protein which has a structural and protective functions in the epithelium.
Answer:
The protists refer to the unicellular eukaryotic species, which comprise algae, fungi, and protozoa. Of these some are autotrophs and some are heterotrophs. They exhibit the tendency to survive in aquatic surroundings because of their feeding habits.
In older approaches, protists are categorized on the basis of their morphology. However, by using novel approaches like molecular genetics, they are being categorized on the basis of their genetics.
Answer:
Valine-Leucine-Proline-Lysine-Histidine
Explanation:
The central dogma of biology is the process by which DNA is used to synthesize RNA and subsequently amino acid sequence (PROTEIN). The processes of transcription and translation is used in gene expression. Transcription is the process whereby the information encoded in a DNA molecule is used to synthesize a mRNA molecule. Transcription is catalyzed by RNA polymerase enzyme, which uses complementary base pairing rule i.e Adenine(A)-Thymine(T), Guanine(G)-Cytosine(C) pairing.
N.B: Thymine is replaced by Uracil in the mRNA
For the above DNA sequence: CAC GAC GGA TTC GTA, the mRNA sequence will be: GUG CUG CCU AAG CAU
Translation is the second process of gene expression which involves the synthesis of an amino acid sequence from an mRNA molecule. The mRNA is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON. Each codon specifies an amino acid (see attached image for genetic code)
Based on the attached genetic code, an mRNA sequence: GUG CUG CCU AAG CAU will encode an amino acid sequence: Valine(Val) - Leucine (Leu) -Proline (Pro) -Lysine (Lys) - Histidine (His).
GUG specifies Valine amino acid
CUG specifies Leucine amino acid
CCU specifies Proline amino acid
AAG specifies Lysine amino acid
CAU specifies Histidine amino acid
