Life forms on a newly discovered exo-planet (planet found outside of our solar system) are somewhat similar to those found on Ea

rth. Their proteins are made of 10 different amino acids and their DNA and RNA only contain two different nucleotide bases, instead of four. This observation suggests that the codons coding for the amino acids are likely to be at least how many bases long?

Answer:

2 base long codon

Explanation:

In the given question, the total number of amino acids is about 10 and the number of nucleotide bases is only two.

So these two nucleotides will be arranged in a maximum of 2^{2}  as there are only two nucleotides and either each nucleotide will code for a single amino acid or in pairs of two it will code for specific amino acids. Therefore the maximum amino acid chain will be formed by the four bases of amino acids.

Thus, 2 base long codon will be correct.

Use a Venn diagram to compare physical systems with social systems.
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:Physical systems differ from social systems because a physical system refers to systems that rely on a group of physical parts to perform a function. Examples of a physical systems are solar systems or even an animals digestive system. Social systems are systems like an ant colony, wolf pack, or a town.

The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is an important model system for studying inheritance in animals and genetic control of an
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The correct answer is "strengths: inexpensive, easy to culture, short life cycle, large number of offspring; weaknesses: invertebrate model, some diseases such as immunological cannot be modelled, anatomical features are very different from humans"

Explanation:

The fruit fly <em>Drosophila melanogaster</em> is one of the most used animal model for genetic and biomedical studies. There are many advantages of using Drosophila as model, including that it is very inexpensive to handle, it is easy to culture, it has a short life cycle allowing to observe the changes in phenotype very quickly and its large number of offspring allows to include several repetitions per trait in a study. However, there are some weaknesses of using Drosophila to study human biology. First, obviously the fruit fly is very different from humans, it is an invertebrate and its anatomical features are very different, which makes impossible to model some disorders such as immunological diseases.
