The genetic code is redundant. The meaning of this statement is that (D) More than one codon can specify the addition of the same amino acid.

Genetic code is a set of three nucleotides (mRNAs) that code for an amino acid together. The concept of given by Francis Crick. These codes are standard in majority of the organisms on Earth, hence the code is universal. For example, UGG codes for tryptophan.

Amino acids are the molecules that are involved in the formation of proteins. They have an amino group as well as a carboxylic group attached to the same alpha-carbon. There are 22 amino acids in the body that are involved in protein synthesis.

Rasek [7]

As most microbes reproduce asexually, "species" are defined by differences in their DNA sequences. when the genome of soil microbe a is analyzed, long stretches of genes from multiple species of other soil microbial species are discovered. This indicates that the microbes present in the soil underwent transformation and transfection. Transformation, shown in the image, is the process of the prokaryotic nucleus taking up the foreign DNA from other microbes present in the environment. Tranfection is like transformation but for the eukaryotic cells.

What does the plant create in order to reproduce offspring?
mamaluj [8]
<span>Plants either reproduce sexually or asexually, depending on the type of plant.

In asexual reproduction, a plant cell splits in two to create a genetically identical offspring.</span>
