1 answer:

6 0

There are two main reasons. First, there are introns and exons existed in eukaryotes. Introns do not contain the genetic information but are in large amount in chromosome. So, if the mutation occurs in the introns, it will be recessive. Second, one amino acid will corresponding to several base sequences. For example, UUU and UUC all represent Phe. This is called degeneracy. So if the mutation did not change the amino acid, it is also recessive.

Which activity seems to be the most important health habit in old age?

trasher [3.6K]

The correct answer is calorie restriction.

Energy restriction or calorie restriction refers to a dietary routine, which minimizes the intake of calorie without undergoing malnutrition or a reduction in essential nutrients. The generally consumed components of food comprising calories are proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.

In various species, calorie restriction in the absence of malnutrition may slow down the process of biological aging, leading to the longer sustenance of health and an enhancement in both maximum and median lifespan.
