Answer:

E. Each codon represents a different amino acid.

Explanation:

The genetic code refers to the set of rules guiding the translation of nucleotide bases in DNA or RNA into an amino acid sequence (proteins). The genetic code contains all the codons in the genome, which is a group of three nucleotide base (triplet-based). Each codon species a particular amino acid, however, more than one codon can code for a particular amino acid. This characteristics of the genetic code is called DEGENERACY.

The genetic code is said to be nearly universal because the same codon encodes the same amino acid in almost all living organisms with only few exceptions. The nonoverlapping nature of the genetic code refers to the fact the three bases of a codon are read independently from the bases of another codon i.e. codons do not overlap.

A codon represents one amino acid but more than one codon can represent the same amino acid. Hence, option E is untrue

The fundamental mendelian process that involves the separation of contrasting genetic elements at the same locus is called _____
harkovskaia [24]
Segregation. The Principle of Segregation describes how pairs of gene variants are separated into reproductive cells. <span>The segregation of gene variants, called alleles, and their corresponding traits was first observed by Gregor Mendel in 1865. Mendel was studying genetics by performing mating crosses in pea plants. He crossed two heterozygous pea plants, which means that each plant had two different alleles at a particular genetic position. He discovered that the traits in the offspring of his crosses did not always match the traits in the parental plants. This meant that the pair of alleles encoding the traits in each parental plant had separated or segregated from one another during the formation of the reproductive cells. From his data, Mendel formulated the Principle of Segregation. We now know that the segregation of genes occurs during meiosis in eukaryotes, which is a process that produces reproductive cells called gametes.</span>

The Earth is more massive than the moon. How will a person’s weight on the moon compare to their weight on Earth?
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

The weight of a person on the moon is less, compared to their weight on Earth.

Explanation:

Gravitation is a force. Gravity is the force that tries to pull two objects toward each other.

Anything which has mass, also has a gravitational pull. The more massive an object is, the stronger its gravitational pull is. So because the moon iless massive than the earth, you will experience a less gravitational pull and therefore a you will experience less weight on the moon compared to your weight on earth.

EXTRA

The Gravitational pull is difined by the force that arises of masses of two objects in relation to their distance.

Earth's gravity is what keeps you on the ground and what causes objects to fall back to earth.

You can experience a change in gravitational pull on earth yourself, in an exelerating or decelerating elevator.
