The heavenly body referred to in the question above is Jupiter. It is approximately 5.2 AU away from the sun. It is classified under the outer planets, so the answer is C. The Kuiper belt is around 50 AU from the sun. While the asteriod belt is 3.2 AU away. As for the inner planets, Mars, Earth, Venue, and Mercury are 1.5, 1, 0.7 and 0.39 AU away from the sun respectively.

The correct answer is option C, that is, outer planets.  

In the given case, the heavenly body that is referred is Jupiter. It is about 5.2 astronomical units away from the Sun and is categorized under the outer planets. The Kuiper belt is approximately 50 astronomical units away from the Sun, on the other hand, the asteroid belt is about 3.2 astronomical units away from the Sun.  

In the case of inner planets, that is, the Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury, they are 1, 1.5, 0.7, and 0.39 astronomical units away from the Sun.

Which characteristic of the genetic code lowers the likelihood of mutation?
Rudik [331]
Degeneracy

Degeneracy simply means that most of the amino acids produced during protein synthesis from DNA is coded by more than one codon. A codon is a sequence of 3 <span>nucleotides that codes for a specific amino acid.

Because more than 1 codon can produce the same amino acid, the chances of having the synthesis of proteins affected by mutations (i.e. point mutations) is decreased. For example, if the codon with the nucleotide series GAA, which codes for the amino acid glutamate, becomes the codon GAG, the codon will still produce glutamate because the code is degenerate. </span>
