An organism that reproduces sexually has a diploid number of 30. How many

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Gamete of organism has a haploid number of chromosomes.

2n = 30

n = 15

A diploid cell containing 30 chromosomes will result in 15 chromosomes in each of the 4 daughter cells after meiosis occurs.

After first nuclear and cellular division (Meiosis I), each daughter cell will only have 15 chromosomes as homologous chromosomes are broken apart at Anaphase I of meiosis I. Chromosomal number is halved. After the second nuclear and cellular division (Meiosis II), each daughter cell will also have 15 chromosomes. This time, instead of the chromosomal number being halved, their chromosomal contents are halved. Sister chromatids are separated at Anaphase II of Meiosis II, resulting in daughter chromosomes each.

Hope it helped!(:

What do we mean when we say that the genetic code is degenerate?A single codon can encode more than one amino acid.An amino acid

Arada [10]

Answer:

An amino acid can be encoded by more than one codon.

Explanation:

Codons are triplets of nucleotides in mRNA that are used for the protein synthesis (translation). A codon specifies a single amino acid, but there are exceptions. tRNA molecule contain anticodons, triplets of nucleotides that are complementary to codons. So, during the translation, tRNA carries the amino acid, that corresponds to the codon in mRNA.

Degenerate genetic code (more than one codon can code for the same amino acid) is important, because when point mutation occurs it is possible that the amino acid remains unchanged.
