Question

Using what you know about protein transcription, which of the following mRNA sequences could theoretically code for a protein? (It's made-up, so don't bother googling it!) e. AUG-CAT-UAG f. ABC-DEF-GHI g. AGG-CAU-UCLA. h. AUG-GGA-UAA Write below organs that would be found in the ventral cavity of the body. What is an example of a negative feedback loop? a. Your professor gives you a bad grade and you drop out of college b. You get hungry and start eating, and continue eating, even when you no longer feel hungry, and continue eating, even when you are full c. A person's blood glucose levels are low and the person has a snack; the person's blood sugar levels are elevated and the person stops eating d. All of the above

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

1) Which of the following theoretical sequences code for a protein?

a) AUG-CAT-UAG

b) ABC-DEF-GHI

c) AGG-CAU-UCLA

d) AUG-GGA-UAA - Correct (Methionine-Glycine-Stop)

2) Organs that would be found in the ventral cavity of the body

Answer: Ventral cavity is the anterior portion of the torso and is divided into thoracic cavity (superior division) and abdominopelvic cavity (inferior division) by a diaphgram. The organs present in the ventral cavity are called viscera.

Thoracic visceral organs: Thyroid gland, Trachae, arteries and veins

Abdominal visceral organs: stomach, duodeum, intestine, liver, spleen, pancreas, gall bladder, appendix

Cervical visceral organs: ovaries, fallopian tube, uterus, urinary bladder, testicles, rectum, pelvis

3) What is an example of a negative feedback loop?

Answer: (c) A person's blood glucose levels are low and the person has a snack, the persons blood sugar levels are elevated and the person stops eating. (*blood sugar levels are regulated by negative feedback loop mechanism)
