Nonspecific defenses include physical and chemical barriers, the inflammatory response, and interferons. Physical barriers include the intact skin and mucous membranes. These barriers are aided by various antimicrobial chemicals in tissue and fluids.
Nonspecific defenses include anatomic barriers, inhibitors, phagocytosis, fever, inflammation, and IFN. Specific defenses include antibody and cell-mediated immunity.
<span>The correct answer is A) a single amino acid may have more than one codon that translates for it.</span>
<span>This property of the codon is called codon degeneracy and is the redundancy of the genetic code. As a result, there is the multiplicity of three-base-pair codon combinations that specify an amino acid and that increases tolerance to point mutations (synonymous mutations). Usually, the codons encoding one amino acid differ in the second or third position.</span>
The process that produces oxygen
is the photosynthesis and when oxygen is released as the result of its production during
photosynthesis, it is a
by-product of splitting the water molecules. The reduction of oxygen which forms water occurs during
respiration.
