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.

Why can’t non-permeable or fully permeable membrane support life?
TEA [102]
One wouldn’t allow for passive transport. And the other would allow to much. The membrane serves as a gate. Non-permeable would be a solid wall were nothing and no one can get through or get out . Including things like water. And fully permeable would represent no gate at all and would allow to much in and out of the cell.

Write a scientific explanation
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Prokaryotic cells have entirely different structures for organizing their DNA, the prokaryotic chromosome equivalent is called a genophore and is localized within the nucleoid region... The structure of chromatin networks is currently poorly understood and remains an active area of research in molecular biology.

I need to know 3 things in the human body smaller than a cell
Sedbober [7]
The organelles and substances inside the organelles are smaller. On a molecular level a group that are smaller are hadrons, which are the group of particles that consist of protons and neutrons. Even smaller than hadrons are leptons, which consist of neutrinos, electons, and MANY others.

Ket [755]

Some adaptations you would expect to see on plants growing in both biomes are Low-growing plants, Waxy leaves to protect against evaporation, Ability to grow in soils with very low nutrients and water, and The ability to quickly bloom and reproduce when conditions are right. Hope this helped!
