Answer:

A stop Codon is the last sequence of base pairs (A,T,C,G) that tells when a new protein and amino acid are formed.

Answer:

In the genetic code, a stop codon (or termination codon) is a nucleotide triplet within messenger RNA that signals a termination of translation into protein

Explanation:

Proteins are based on polypeptides, which are unique sequences of amino acids. Most codons in messenger RNA (from DNA) correspond to the addition of an amino acid to a growing polypeptide chain, which may ultimately become a protein. Stop codons signal the termination of this process by binding release factors, which cause the ribosomal subunits to disassociate, releasing the amino acid chain. While start codons need nearby sequences or initiation factors to start translation, a stop codon alone is sufficient to initiate termination.

how are mutations continually being generated in a population (what are some of the causes of mutatuions?) explain
vampirchik [111]
Some causes could be the mother smoking, drinking, doing drugs etc. Or even simply her body doesn’t fully accept the baby growing inside her so it acts out against it. Sounds strange but it happens. Also if the mother is sick with Zika or another virus, it can harm the baby’s growth.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
<span>The RNA world is the hypothesized format of chemical life that existed prior to our current DNA and RNA world. In the RNA world, RNA molecules formed in the primordial soup and began to evolve by self-replication and mutation. This led to increased complexity, natural selection of "better" RNA and diversification of RNA based life.</span>
