<u>Answer</u>: True

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • There is a small flat spot present exactly in the centre of the posterior portion of the retina called as macula lutea.
  • The centre portion of the macula lutea is known as the fovea centralis.
  • The characteristic feature of the fovea is that it is composed <em>only of cones.</em>
  • Cones and rods are basically the photoreceptor cells present in the retina. The rods are responsible for black and white visions whereas the cones are responsible for coloured (<em>bright</em>) vision.
  • Since, the fovea is most concentrated with the cone cells and no rod cells are present in this area, it is the area of <em>highest visual acuity</em>. Visual acuity simply means the clarity of vision.
  • Another reason for the highest visual acuity in fovea is that the ganglion and bipolar cells which are responsible for some scattering of light, do not cover the cones present in the fovea and hence, the resolution is further enhanced.

So the statement that the <em>visual acuity is greatest at the fovea of the eye is true.</em>

What is a stop codon​
storchak [24]

Answer:

In the genetic code, a stop codon (or termination codon) is a nucleotide triplet within messenger RNA that signals a termination of translation into protein

Explanation:

Proteins are based on polypeptides, which are unique sequences of amino acids. Most codons in messenger RNA (from DNA) correspond to the addition of an amino acid to a growing polypeptide chain, which may ultimately become a protein. Stop codons signal the termination of this process by binding release factors, which cause the ribosomal subunits to disassociate, releasing the amino acid chain. While start codons need nearby sequences or initiation factors to start translation, a stop codon alone is sufficient to initiate termination.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Option A. they less severely affect the phenotype, so that individuals can reproduce and transmit them

Explanation:

Polymorphism is the genetic variation found within a population, which favors the process of natural selection. It prefer successful traits in population.

While, mutation is the alteration of DNA sequence of an organism. Mutation can cause loss of traits in the population.
