Early in genetic research, it was suggested that the genetic code might be made up of overlapping codons in which the last two b

ases of one codon make up the first two bases of the next codon, as below:
mRNA codons
overlapping code GGUAUA 1st codon = GGU
2nd codon = GUA

nonoverlapping code GGUAUA 1st codon = GGU
2nd codon = AUA

Supposing it were discovered that, in a life-form from another planet, even a single base pair substitution in the DNA caused three adjacent amino acid changes in the protein coded for. Would you conclude that the code was overlapping or nonoverlapping? Explain your logic.

The genetic code is called non-overlapping because adjacent codons can not overlap, whereas in this case, the code is overlapping.

<h3>What does 'overlapping code' mean?</h3>

The genetic code does not overlap because the same nucleotide in the sequence cannot be used to encode two different codons.

In genetics, overlapping refers to a feature of the genetic code associated with how this nucleotide code is read.

In conclusion, the genetic code in this case is overlapping.

Pancreatic cells, which secrete a large amount of digestive enzymes, are labeled with radioactive leucine and then chased for se
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Exterior of the cell

Explanation:

Pancreas is a gland found behind the stomach and it secretes digestive enzymes into the duodenum.

Digestive enzymes are proteins hence leucine will form part of the enzymes.

Digestion of food takes approximately three hours. Therefore, if labelled Leucine  is chased down with non radioactive leucine.

Black spots will appear on the exterior of the cells because digestive enzymes are extracellular enzymes .

Ike is conducting a scientific experiment involving clear adhesive tape.
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

see if the strips repel each other when brought close together

Explanation:

Electric fields can exert forces on objects, even if the objects involved are not touching. One way to demonstrate that electric fields exist around charged objects is to observe the effects of their forces at a distance.

Since Ike knows that each strip of tape carries a negative charge, he could see if the strips repel each other when brought close together.

Which organisms are affected most by biological magnification?
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

This is biomagnification, and it means that higher-level predators-fish, birds, and marine mammals-build up greater and more dangerous amounts of toxic materials than animals lower on the food chain. In this activity you will explore the biomaginification of toxic chemical, mercury, through a simple marine food chain.

What part of the cell is the most common threat to a host organism caused by invading virus
KiRa [710]

This either attaches the virus to the host cell or dissolves the membrane letting the virus into the host cell. The viral enzymes(enzymes are again chemical compounds) multiply the viral dna copies and viral protiens. These are new viruses. These new viruses breakout of the cell to infect other cells.
