Answer:
False. There are 20 amino acids, but 64 possible codons.
Explanation:
Genetic information for the aminoacids assembly during the protein synthesis is stored in short sequences of three nucleotides named codons in the mRNA. Each of the codons represents one of the 20 amino acids used to build the protein. The total number of possible codons is 64, from which 61 codify amino acids -more than one codon codify for the same amino acid-. One of these amino acids is also the start point of protein synthesis. And the left three codons are stopping translation points.
The codons indicating the initiation or stop points during the translation process are:
• The start codon AUG is the most common sequence used by eukaryotic cells and places near the 5´extreme of the molecule. However, other codons might be used as well. Prokaryote cells might use the codons GUG or UUG.
• The end codons are UAA, UAG, UGA.
Answer:
TRUE
Explanation:
If the population follows a logistic growth curve, the graph of P vs t will look like the diagram below.
The rate of growth (P') increases slowly at first, then increases rapidly from 2 to 4, and then slows down, but always P > 0.
The graph has an inflection point at (3, 1000). That's the point at which the rate of growth starts slowing down.
When t < 3, P'' > 0.
When t = 3, P'' = 0.
When t > 3, P'' < 0, because the rate of population growth is slowing down.
Thus, if the population is in the final phase of logistic growth, the population is increasing at a decreasing rate (TRUE)..
It has warmed roughly 1.33°F.
