Answer:

Glutamic Acid (Glu): codons GAA, GAG

Glutamine (Gln): codons CAA, CAG.

Lysine (Lys): codons AAA, AAG, UCG

Serine (Ser): codons UCA, UCG

Leucine (Leu): codons UUG, UUA

Tyrosine (Tyr): codons UAC, UAU

Tryoptophan (Trp): codon UGG

Arginine (Arg): codons CGA, AGA

Glycine (Gly): codon GGA

Cysteine (Cys): codon UGU

Explanation:

Non sense codons are: UAA, UAG, UGA. Then following the genetic code (see attached file) a single base substitution in any of the codons indicated in the answer could generate a stop codon. This single base substitution might happen in the first, second or third base of the codon.

Serggg [28]

Plants that use crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis repair CO2 at night, when their stomata are open. CAM plants stock the CO2 typically in the method of malic acid via carboxylation of phosphoenolpyruvate to oxaloacetate, which is then concentrated to malate. Decarboxylation of malate during the day discharges CO2 inside the leaves, therefore permitting carbon fixation to 3-phosphoglycerate by RuBisCO.

Why cannot we digest raw green plants in our alimentary canal?

Triss [41]
