Answer:
Naloxone is an antagonist at opioid receptors and heroin is an agonist at opioid receptors
Explanation:
An agonist is a substance that binds to a receptor and causes a biological reaction. In this case, heroine binds to opioid receptors. An antagonist blocks the reaction from the agonist, impeding the receptor's activation. Agonists and antagonists work for specific receptors, and for an antagonist to block an agonist they must bind to the same receptor, like naloxone does with heroin. Giving an antagonist that binds to one receptor and and agonist that binds to a different one means that the antagonist will have no effect.
I believe that its False, but don't hold me to that
Answer:
False
Explanation:
In the genetic code, each triplet of nucleotides (i.e., each codon) determines one specific amino acid or one-stop codon. The genetic code is not overlapping, which means that the same letter in the genetic code (nucleotide) cannot be used for two different codons. There are 64 possible combinations of triplets of nucleotides, 61 of them determine amino acids, while three triplets determine stop codons (UAG, UAA, and UGA) that indicate the termination of translation. Moreover, the genetic code is also degenerate, which means that one amino acid can be coded by more than one codon.
