Interphase. Reason: interphase is the first stage of mitosis but since mitosis is the division of the nucleus prophase is actually the first stage.
Answer:
An amino acid can be encoded by more than one codon.
Explanation:
Codons are triplets of nucleotides in mRNA that are used for the protein synthesis (translation). A codon specifies a single amino acid, but there are exceptions. tRNA molecule contain anticodons, triplets of nucleotides that are complementary to codons. So, during the translation, tRNA carries the amino acid, that corresponds to the codon in mRNA.
Degenerate genetic code (more than one codon can code for the same amino acid) is important, because when point mutation occurs it is possible that the amino acid remains unchanged.
Answer:
The correct answer is: <em>C. Increased average lifespan to 78 in the US.</em>
Explanation:
Science has impacted human health by increasing the average lifespan to 78 in the US. Over the last couple of decades, the life expectancy of Americans has increased significantly than what it was 200 years ago. This can be attributed to:
1. Vaccinations- Since the invention of vaccinations, diseases such as tuberculosis, cholera and polio which were major causes of death 200 years ago have virtually been eradicated in the US.
2. Abundant and safer foods available- Commercial and large scale farming has made a wide variety of nutritious foods easier to obtain.
3. Improved sanitation- Safer drinking water, sewage treatment and stricter food inspection has significantly reduced the rate of illnesses due to poor hygiene and sanitation.
In these ways, science has impacted human health by increasing the average lifespan to 78 in the US.
The production of egg and sperm cells follows a certain sequence of events.
The correct order of those events are:
MEIOSIS, CELL DIFFERENTIATION, MATURE GAMETES.
Meiosis is defined as the process wherein a single cell is divided twice to produce four cells that contains half the original amount of genetic information.
Cell differentiation is defined as the process wherein the less specialized cell becomes a more specialized cell. The haploid cells are the end result of meiosis. They must undergo cell differentiation before they can become mature gametes.
