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).

Part 1: What is the difference between the atmospheres of Mercury and Earth?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The difference would be that Mercury has a denser, warmer atmosphere and Earth has a not that dense and gassy atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere also has a lot of layers while Mercury's doesn't. Those would be the reasons for them both being different. Hope this helped!
