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.

One method used by newborn mammals to generate heat is referred to as nonshivering thermogenesis. This method utilizes a protein

stich3 [128]

Answer:

One method used by newborn mammals to generate heat is referred to as nonshivering thermogenesis. This method utilizes a protein channel called thermogenin which is present in high levels inside the mitochondria of brown adipose tissue.

Explanation:

Thermogenin forms a proton channel in the inner mitochondrial membrane in the brown adipose tissues. Most of the newborn mammals have these brown adipose tissues. In these tissues, the oxidation of nutrients do not produce ATP but generate heat. The heat is used by the newborn to maintain the warmer body temperature. The process is called nonshivering thermogenesis.

When a gene changes within a population over time, it is referred to as __________.

yarga [219]

When a gene changes within a population over time, it is referred to as evolution. This refers to a long but steady rate of mutations that occur in genes of organisms within the environment. A lot of factors affect a population's evolution (e.g. climate, reproduction, food source) and it is a determinant whether a species will survive for the next generations.
