How many distinct trnas are needed to translate every codon in the genetic code?

Biology
1 answer:
White raven [17]3 years ago
3 0
In the genetic code, codons made of of three bases specify an amino acid. With three bases, there are 64 possible permutations. With three codons corresponding to STOP codons, this leaves 61 combinations that code for an amino acid. This would require 61 distinct tRNA species were it not for the "wobble base"

Explain why plants along the road often die after the road is sprayed with a salt solution to melt ice
vovangra [49]

Explanation:

The salt solution is meant to lower the ice melting point hence keep most of the water from turning into ice even at zero degrees temperatures. The salts are dissolved in the water to form a salty solution that percolates the ground and reach plant roots. Because the salty water is hypertonic (more concentrated) to the cell cytoplasm of the plant roots, water is drawn from the plant by osmosis. This is the reversal of normal plant root absorption of water from the soil. This causes the plant root to wither and subsequently the whole plant to die. Remember in osmosis, water moves from the less concentrated solution to the more concentrated solution through a semipermeable membrane.

A method of producing an attenuated vaccine is through genetic manipulation of a microbe to remove one or more virulence factors. The purpose of creating attenuated vaccines is to reduce the effect of a microorganism to the body. Once the body is exposed to the said disease, it will not experience a dreadful effect done by the microorganism.
