Answer: The option that is not true is D) Each amino acid is specified by only one codon.

Codon can be defined as the sequence of three nucleotides ( present in DNA or mRNA) that corresponds to a particular amino acid. It helps in the process of translation as different amino acids ( that are linked to codons) are assembled to give a particular protein according to the sequence of codon.

There are 64 codons and 20 amino acids that make up the proteins present in the living systems. This indicates that several different codons can correspond to the same amino acid.

For instance, amino acid Valine is coded by four codons that is GUC, GUG, GUA, GUU.

Thus, option D) is incorrect.

Which statement is true of both active transport and facilitated diffusion?
enyata [817]

The correct answer is option (D) The active transport and the facilitated diffusion both involve the proteins present in the cell membrane.

Facilitated diffusion transport the large and the charged molecules through the protein transport channels present in the cell membrane. In this case, the solute move from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration and it does not require energy.

Active transports takes place when the molecules move from a region of lower concentration to higher concentration via the membrane protein channels.

Both facilitated diffusion and active transport requires the proteins present in the cell membrane.

How do scientists explain the discovery of crinoids in the Wasatch Mountains?
Nostrana [21]
<span>The mountains were once seas. The land was forced up by tectonic motion when the mountains were formed. The Sahara also used to be a sea and has a valley full of the fossilized remains of an extinct species of whale. It is generally agreed upon that two plates colliding caused the uplift that created the mountainous zone. Same for the Himalayas.</span>
