Digital coding shows that a simple code can transmit complex information. How do you think that idea might relate to genetic inf
meriva

Answer:

The genetic code only consists of 4 letters of A T C and G. That means it is a VERY simple language. Combinations of three of these letters (codons) are translated into functional information in the form of amino acids. Each three letters = one amino acid.

Although the code seems simple, the information that can be derived from it is highly complex, making an entire organisms.

Take for example a simple 4 letter sequence of letters. ACTG, AGTC, AATG, etc. There are 256 potential combinations, just in a sequence of 4. Imagine in humans where there are THREE BILLION letters! The possible combinations are essentially endless.

How are muscles able to contract
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Muscles contract through a chain process of electrochemical signalling between the nervous system and muscles.

Explanation:

The muscle contraction is initiated by the nervous system by sending a signal. This signal also referred to as action potential travel through the motor neuron. This motor neuron releases a chemical signal to muscle when the electrical signal carried by it reaches the neuromuscular junction (a junction where motor neuron meets the muscles).  

The chemical message referred to as neurotransmitter binds to the receptors present on the muscle fibers. These receptors causes the influx of sodium ion which in turn trigger the release of calcium ion thereby initiating the contraction of muscles.
