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"

makvit [3.9K]

Explanation:

The amount of blood that leaves the left ventricle of the heart with each contraction is called Stroke volume.

A person has a stroke volume of 80 ml/beat. It means that it is 80 milliliters per beat.

We need to find how many liters would that be.

We know that, 1 litre = 1000 milliliters

1 mL = 0.001 L

To convert 80 mL to litres, we can do it as follows :

80 mL = (80 × 0.001) LL

= 0.08 L

Hence, he stroke volume of a person is 0.08 L/beat.
