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.

What aspects of the genome can and cannot be determined through karyotyping?
AysviL [449]
The correct answer to this question is that:

The idea of Karyotyping is that it helps us to know the sex of a person and it gives us information whether there are chromosomal disorder or not. As a whole, it won't tell us the traits of a person because those traits are acquired how he or she interacts with the society.

Doctors are seeing an alarming increase in the number of cases of tuberculosis (TB) that is resistant to drugs commonly used to
Gnesinka [82]

Ans.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection that affects mainly respiratory tract and can be transmitted from one to another person through contaminated air. The causative agent of tuberculosis, <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> has developed resistance against many antibiotics, such as rifampin and isoniazid, which is known as tuberculosis drug resistance.

If a person infected with TB shows drug resistance against some TB drugs, 'doctors should give other TB drugs to that person, even if these drugs show less effect than common drugs'. This is because these drugs can prevent or kill the bacterium more effectively than the common drugs for which, bacterium is resistance.

Why are xylem vessels more efficient in the transport of water than tracheids​
Paha777 [63]

Explanation:

  • The vessels of the xylem are more efficient than the tracheids in water conduction due to the presence of perforations in them. These perforations allow for the continuous flow of water into the xylem vessels.The xylem tracheids are long, narrow, tubelike cells. The walls of tracheids are thick and hard.
