The biotech company Medicago expresses viral genes in tobacco plants to generate flu vaccines. In the genetic code, the codons C

AU and CAC both encode amino acid histidine. This ability to interchange multiple codons for a single amino acid is an example of how the genetic code is __________.

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.

Why does the reporter have a tube up his nose? why does the reporter have a tube up his nose? to replace the salts and other ion
Helga [31]
The correct answer is to accurately measure core temperature.
The tube seen entering the reporter's nose is a thermistor which is used to measure the core temperature of the body with very high levels of accuracy. The tube reaches the esophagus, which is one of the most preferred locations for measuring the core temperature.
The core body temperature is the operating temperature of the human body and it refers to the temperature of the deeper structures of the body instead of the peripheral tissues. 
The esophagus is close to the left ventricle of the heart, it has a deep body location and a quick response to any changes in the body temperature.

kherson [118]
Parasitism bc the warbler's young are being displaced which means that the warblers are suffering harm through the loss of their young.

In a study published in the journal Nature, scientists studied eight ponds in Florida: four that were populated by a species of
AlexFokin [52]

Answer: the rate of pollination of flower, in a field next to a pond with no fish, will DECREASE.

Explanation:

POLLINATION is defined as the process by which flowering plants, through the aid of external agents such as insects,wind, water and other animals, are able to transfer pollen grains from an anther to a receptive stigma. Insects are the most common pollinators. They visit flowers to obtain nectar and pollen as source of food. Flowers use various features, such as colour and scent, to attract and guide insects to the food source within them. In the process of reaching their source of food, insects bring about pollination.

From the study conducted by scientist in Florida, eight(8) ponds where subjected to the the study. The first four (4) ponds had species of fishes that fed on dragonflies and dragonfly larvae, hence the reason for a decrease in the population of the dragon flies in the area around it. While the remaining four (4) ponds had NO fish and the area around it is populated with dragonflies and dragonfly larvae. This is so because of the absence of fish.

It was then noted that the dragon lies fed of the insect pollinators such as the bees and butterflies. Since these dragonflies and its larvae are abundant in the field which is close to the pond with no fish, they will grossly depend on the insect pollinators as their source of food thereby decreasing the rate of pollination in the field next to the pond with no fish.
