What is the red part on the end of a match called?

The red part at the end of a match is called the match head. It is made of a mixture of potassium chlorate, sulfur, and phosphorus, which ignites when struck against a rough surface.


Is it possible to stick a match in your nose?

Of course it's possible to stick a match up your nose, but why would anyone want to do that?Now, if you meant "strike a match inside your nose", then that sounds much more reasonable.Matches need enough friction to ignite the chemicals on the match head. It is unlikely that the mucous membranes inside your nose have enough friction. Besides...the chemicals on a match head should not come in contact with any part of your face.


What is the red bit on a match?

On a safety match (the kind you strike on a box) the red bit is primarily a compound called potassium chlorate. The strip on the box is red phosphorous. When you strike it on the box the two compounds create an explosive mixture which is then ignited by the heat and sparks produced by friction between the strip and the match head. Strike anywhere matches put the two compounds together on the match, the red is the phosphorous and the white tip is potassium chlorate. When you strike the match they mix and catch fire similar to striking a safety match on the box.


What occurs during the process of transcription?

The genetic information stored in DNA is transcribed into messenger Rna that is then transported to the cytoplasmic Ribosomes for translation.


The first step of DNA replication is to copy part of the DNA sequence into?

The first step of DNA replication is to unwind and separate the two strands of the double helix. This process is initiated by enzymes called helicases. Once the strands are separated, they serve as templates for the synthesis of new complementary strands.

What is the relationship between codons and anticodons?

A codon is found in the DNA sequence and in the mRNA sequence. The anticodon is the opposite sequence that would match with the sequence of the codon and allows pairing of the anticodon with the codon


What part do codons and anticodons play in translation?

tRNAanti-codonsact as the interpreters of the mRNA codon sequence


What molecule is the anti-codon found on?

A nucleotide triplet in a tRNA molecule that aligns with a particular codon in mRNA under the influence of the ribosome, so that the amino acid carried by the tRNA is added to a growing protein chain.


In tRNA why does the agc anticodon need to pair with a specific mRNA codon and what is the mRNA codon it pairs with?

AGC needs to be paired up with UCG (which is the specific mRNA codon) in order to transfer message from mRNA to polypeptide. In addition it is a part of process in trancription (for elongation). **Hopefully I have answered this question correctly..if not, please correct it..thanks!


Anti codons are part of the structure of?

An anticodon is a three nucleotide sequence found as part of Transfer RNA. The anticodon is the portion of the tRNA that binds to the relevant portion of the messenger RNA (mRNA). Overall, the anticodon assists in matching amino acid sequences to mRNA codon sequences during protein synthesis.


Describe the difference between a termination signal and a stop codon?

Termination signal is at the end of the part of the chromosome being transcribed during transcription of mRNA. While in a stop codon, also called termination codon, is a nucleotide triplet within messenger RNA that signals a termination of translation.


Matches a cell part with it function?

You can match a cell part with its function, for example the ribosomes, can be matched with "site for mRNA translation".


What is a messenger Rna code word?

A messenger RNA (mRNA) codon is a three-nucleotide sequence that codes for a specific amino acid during protein synthesis. There are a total of 64 possible codons, including start and stop codons, that provide the genetic instructions to build proteins in a cell.


What would happen if the very last stop codon of a mRNA molecule was mutated into a regular codon?

That isn't exactly a mutation; it's more like degradation. It would basically mean that mRNA, which is made up of multiple codons, will deteriorate into a codon, which is only 3 nucleic acids combined together. Such corrosion would probably result in the cell breaking the codon like how it normally does mRNA, or it will be absorbed into the nucleus to be combined to form a normal mRNA.


When a tRNA anticodon bind to an mRNA codon the amino acid detaches from the tRNA molecule and attaches to the end of a growing protein chain?

Yes, when a tRNA anticodon binds to an mRNA codon during translation, the amino acid that was carried by the tRNA detaches from the tRNA molecule and becomes part of a growing polypeptide chain. This process ensures that the protein is built in the correct sequence dictated by the mRNA codons.


What part of the dna sequence would be involved if the trna amino acid was agc?

The anticodon of the tRNA would be UCG, which is the complementary sequence to AGC. This anticodon would base-pair with the mRNA codon AGC during translation, facilitating the incorporation of the amino acid carried by the tRNA into the growing polypeptide chain.


What kind of RNA is an anticodon a part of?

Transfer RNA (tRNA) carries the anticodon.
