<span>Epithelial and connective tissues combine to form four types of membranes: mucous membranes (epithelial tissues are moist), serous membranes (line cavities that are not open to the outside environment), cutaneous membranes (skin that covers the surface of the body), and synovial membranes (produce synovial fluid).</span>
It should be C. It is very literal, but I think C
Degeneracy
Degeneracy simply means that most of the amino acids produced during protein synthesis from DNA is coded by more than one codon. A codon is a sequence of 3 <span>nucleotides that codes for a specific amino acid.
Because more than 1 codon can produce the same amino acid, the chances of having the synthesis of proteins affected by mutations (i.e. point mutations) is decreased. For example, if the codon with the nucleotide series GAA, which codes for the amino acid glutamate, becomes the codon GAG, the codon will still produce glutamate because the code is degenerate. </span>
Acids are solutions/substances that tend to break off to make a hydrogen (H+) ion when placed in an aqueous solution; i.e. solution with water as its solvent.
Bases, on the other hand, produce a hydroxide ion (OH-) when placed in an aqueous solution.
Thus, by definition, we can safely assume that a solution containing a large number of hydroxide ions is considered a base.
If you are unclear about this, or still need help, please feel free to ask me further. Thank you.
