Life as we know it depends on the genetic code: a set of codons, each made up of three bases in a DNA sequence and corresponding

mRNA sequence, that specifies which of the 20 amino acids will be added to the protein during translation.Imagine that a prokaryote-like organism has been discovered in the polar ice on Mars. Interestingly, these Martian organisms use the same DNA → RNA → protein system as life on Earth, except that______

Answer:

In the most general case of x bases and y bases per codon, the total number of possible codons is equal to xy . In the case of the hypothetical Martian life-forms, is the minimum codon length needed to specify 17 amino acids is 5 (25 = 32), with some redundancy (meaning that more than one codon could code for the same amino acid).  For life on Earth, x = 4 and y = 3; thus the number of codons is 43, or 64. Because there are only 20 amino acids, there is a lot of redundancy in the code (there are several codons for each amino acid).

Why is it important to consider experimental error in all the empirical results presented?
yuradex [85]

<span>Empirical studies are results of analysis of data based on actual observation or experiences in the field. When conducting an empirical study, quantitative and qualitative approaches are employed, including:</span>

<span>1.      </span><span>Providing  data</span>

<span>2.      </span>Emphasizes features of a new condition

<span>3.      </span>Describes the current status of existing condition

<span>4.      </span>Highlight associations between variables, but cannot establish causality, and

<span>5.      </span>Suggest hypotheses which can be tested in analytical studies

<span>Qualitative empirical studies provide deep contextual data to help us understand a situation, but it cannot be used to establish its prevalence or incidence.  It cannot be generalized also to highlight the statistical relationship between variables. If the aim is to measure the relationship, the quantitative methods should be used. A cross-sectional survey with large sample size is needed to describe the who, what, and where of a situation. Still, it cannot answer the why question.  In order to answer the question of "why",  an analytical or experimental study is needed. Experimental error is an important consideration here considering lapses or inaccuracies in the qualitative and quantitative data. </span>
