Stalactite.

<u>Stalactite:</u>

  • Often, stalagmites develop up from the cave floor, whereas stalagmites typically grow down from the cave roof.
  • It's simple to distinguish between the two since stalagmites have a "G" for ground and stalactites have a "T" for top.
  • Typically made of calcium carbonate, stalagmites can also be made of lava, mud, peat, pitch, sand, sinter, and amber.
  • A single drop of water rich in minerals is the origin of all limestone stalactites.
  • The smallest ring of calcite is left behind by the falling water drop.
  • Another calcite ring is left behind with each new drop of water that develops and drops.

You cross two red griffins with blue eyes and produce offspring that are: red with blue eyes, red with green eyes, white with bl
sergejj [24]

Answer:

The reason for the offspring to present these genotypes is that during the formation of the gametes, the alleles separate and are inherited independently, therefore they can generate several different phenotypic combinations.

Explanation:

In order for an offspring to present very different phenotypes, as shown in the question above, it is necessary that the two red griffins with blue eyes that were crossed are heterozygous. Thus it will be possible for the offspring to present a wide variety of phenotype, according to Mendel's second law.

Mendel's second law is called the Law of segregation. This law explains that the alleles (which determine the characteristics of individuals) are separated in the formation of gametes and inherited by the offspring of a cross independently, and can generate different combinations of phenotypes, when the parents of a cross are heterozygous.

What do we mean when we say that the genetic code is degenerate?A single codon can encode more than one amino acid.An amino acid
Arada [10]

Answer:

An amino acid can be encoded by more than one codon.

Explanation:

Codons are triplets of nucleotides in mRNA that are used for the protein synthesis (translation). A codon specifies a single amino acid, but there are exceptions. tRNA molecule contain anticodons, triplets of nucleotides that are complementary to codons. So, during the translation, tRNA carries the amino acid, that corresponds to the codon in mRNA.

Degenerate genetic code (more than one codon can code for the same amino acid) is important, because when point mutation occurs it is possible that the amino acid remains unchanged.
