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.

How do scientists distinguish between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria?
Nitella [24]
<span>3)Add iodine (1 min) 
4)acid/alcohol wash (1 min) 
5)Flood with safranine (1min) 
6)Air dry and examine. 

These times are for clinical microbiology and experimental methods employ optimal and more precise times (but overall its pretty close). 

Down side of this method is that you must smear bacteria onto the slide and fix it by heating the underside of the slide with a bunsen burner. if they are pink then you have gram negative (Gram's stain didnt stick) if its purple then its gram positive(Gram's stain did stick) This is due to the peptidoglycan layers. Gram negative bacteria have only a thin layer of peptidoglycan as part of the cell membrane/wall where Gram positive have a very think peptidoglycan layer.</span>Source(s):<span>Medical Microbiology</span>
