The genetic code is directly related to polypeptides and proteins in the sense that genes are decoded to synthesize proteins.

What is the genetic code?

Genetic code is the set of rules by which the sequence of bases in DNA are translated into the amino acid sequence of proteins.

The genetic code is unique for living organisms and is used to synthesize the proteins that is responsible for various activities in living organisms.

The genes in the genetic code are first transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins (polypeptides).

You have identified two mutants with same phenotype.
algol13

Answer:

No, there are multiple ways in which different mutations in the same gene can cause the same phenotype

Explanation:

Several different mechanisms of mutation can lead to the same phenotype. For example, lets say our phenotype is that flies have white eyes, and we know that this occurs in one particular gene that normally makes the eye colour red. (the red gene)

These mutations likely rendered the red gene ineffective (as the eyes are not red). However, this could happen in a variety of ways.

  • There could be a single base deletion in the first exon of the mRNA, changing the reading frame of the protein and messing up the entire sequence (a frame shift mutations)
  • The entire gene could be deleted
  • A single base could be substituted in an important site of the gene, for example, one which translates into a catalytic residue or binding site in the protein
  • There could be an inversion at the promoter region of the gene, such that a transcription factor can no longer bind to transcribe the gene.

There are countless other ways in which a mutation could have been caused. Therefore, just because we know the same gene is affected does not mean that we can assume the mutations are identical.

Whatts the mechanism behind emotions? why do we have emotions?
Alexeev081 [22]
In biopsychology, there is a system in the brain which is called the limbic system. The limbic system is responsible for one's memory, emotions and instincts -drives.
Many researchers suggest that the existence of emotions helped the animal kingdom to respond to sociality and survive better, emotion can also be translated into care and love. These traits also aid why infants, babies and other offsprings of animals are cared for which has a great influence on the survival of the species.

Amygdala, responsible for pain, aggression and grief which is anterior to the hippocampus factors why our memories have incorporated and is strengthened with emotions at that specific circumstance.
