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.

When a neuron is activated by a stimulus, its plasma membrane will change until it reaches a membrane potential of about 40 mV.
grandymaker [24]

Answer: It is approximately the membrane potential at which the electrochemical gradient for Na+ is zero.

Explanation:

The charge in plasma membrane occurs with diffusion and electric fields.

For example, if there are two solutions, let's assume solution X and Solution Y are separated by a porous barrier (to diffuse in equal proportions).

The fundamental principle of diffusion states that solution from a high concentration diffuses to a lower concentration.

For instance, if the X solution contains 40 sodium ions and 40 chloride ions, the Y solution only has 30 sodium and 30 chloride ions. Due to the diffusion, these two solutions will mix and reach a steady-state.

The like charges repel, and opposite charges attract.

Why have only a few people ever seen a total solar eclipse?
Hunter-Best [27]

As the experts says, solar eclipse do not happen always like lunar eclipses do that is visible for a long periods of time and are observable. Unlike solar eclipse, it happens hundreds and thousands of years to see it. Few people can only see solar eclipse, and those only those people who are in the small region where the Moon's umbra strike's Earth can witness one.
