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.

Algae are at the first trophic level. Flagfish are in the second trophic level. When a Flagfish eats algae, what percent of ener
dangina [55]

b. 10% of energy is transferred from the first to the second trophic level.

Explanation:

In trophic level flow of energy is one way, only a small amount of energy get transferred with the organism. A large amount of energy gets dissipated in life processes like respiration, reproduction and digestion. The energy is also released as waste product. Thus, only ten per-cent of the total energy is present in the organism.

The energy transfer does not depend on the number of trophic levels.

Each trophic level receives the 10% energy from the previous trophic level as when algae is eaten by flagship.
