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.

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).

Answer:

Due to the dense atmosphere

The magnetic field of the earth

Explanation:

Most particles in the solar wind do not reach the earth's surface because the atmosphere is very dense and the protecting magnetic field of the earth.

A solar wind is a burst of energetic particles from the sun which are made up electrons, ions, etc.. They travel at a very high velocity.

  • The magnetic field of the earth is able to deflect these charged particles away.
  • In areas such as the pole, the interact with the atmosphere to produce very stunning auroras.
