With 4 distinct nucleotides, the total combinations possible in a sequence of 6 nucleotides will be 4096.

Nucleotides are the monomeric units that are found in the DNA. A nucleotide is made of three constituents: a pentose sugar, nitrogenous base and a phosphate group.

In a codon triplet the total possible combinations are 64.

This can be verified as: 4 × 4 × 4 = 64.

Similarly for a sequence of 6 nucleotides:

Possible combinations = 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 = 4096.

With a total of 4 nucleotides, each place in the sequence can have any of the four nucleotides. This is the reason why 4 is multiplied 6 times to obtain the result.

uysha [10]

Compound light microscope and a transmission electron microscope share some similarities, these include:
1. Both of them are used for observing microscopic substances which can not be observed with naked eyes.
2. Specimens preparation prior to use is necessary when using both microscope.
3. Both are used in research work and analysis
4. Both can be used for microphotography.

Answer: D

They can only change one variable at a time, either water or light, not both. They could test the response to water first and follow that with an experiment for the plant's response to light. They cannot test for both at the same time.

Sponges, members of the phylum Porifera, are sessile filter feeders that lack tissues or organs. Instead, specialized cells have

zlopas [31]

Answer:

C) cell differentiation.

Explanation:

Cell differentiation is a process undergone by a cell in which it changes to a specialized form. During the process of cell differentiation, some genes in a single cell becomes turned off or on in a process called GENE EXPRESSION to give rise to cells with specialized functions.

This is the case of this sponge whose specialized cells perform unique functions like ingesting food, support, and reproduction. The specialization of the cells within the sponge is as a result of the process of CELL DIFFERENTIATION.
