Answer:

Degenerate.

Explanation:

The genetic code has following properties -

  • It is a triplet codon.
  • It is non-overlapping.
  • It is comma-less.
  • It is non-ambiguous.
  • It is degenerate.
  • It has stop and start codons.

Out of these properties the Property of Degeneracy has been used in the situation mentioned in the question. Due to degeneracy of the genetic code, more than one codons can code for a single amino acid. Property of degeneracy in the code minimizes the mutational lethality.

Serga [27]

Answer:

C. tarsal glands: produce tears

Explanation:

The tarsal plate refers to a thick fold of connective tissue that serves as a support to the eyelids. A row of tarsal glands is embedded in each tarsal plate. Tarsal glands are elongated modified sebaceous glands. Also known as meibomian glands, they secrete a fluid that helps keep the eyelids from adhering to each other. These glands do not produce tears. Tears are produced by lacrimal glands present in the lacrimal apparatus.

Sam uses a simulation to explore conservation tactics that will preserve
Pavlova-9 [17]

A. Log and replant ¼ of the forest every 15 years.

Explanation:

As Sam utilizes simulation technology to demonstrate the greenhouse tactics that can maintain the woodlands and deliver an endurable source of food and wood, as it has already been given that the simulation needs a regeneration rate of 60 years.

The tactics that would allow the fast regeneration and longevity of the forest preserves would stand to log and replant one-fourth of the forest every fifteen years. Hence providing the most sustainable wood resource.
