Explain why the genetic code is called a triplet code

Biology
1 answer:
salantis [7]3 years ago
6 0
The genetic code is broken down into a series of codons on the mRNA. Each codon consists of 3 nucleotides which (normally) correspond to a single amino acid (e.g. AUG codes for methionine). I say normally because you can also have a codon indicate a stop codon (so no amino acid will be inserted and instead the polypeptide chain will terminate). This mRNA molecule with its list of codons will instruct a ribosome to synthesize a protein according to this code. 

This code is the set of rules - based on the triplet or codon. This triplet code is universal - all organisms use the same codons to specify the placement of each of the 20 amino acids in a protein.

The same agricultural practices are used in every country of the world.
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Well you already know the answer is false but I want to elaborate on this for other people who have the same / similar question.

The main source of meat, milk and eggs in most, if not all, countries are Factory-Farms, which are highly abusive, cruel industries that provide meat to around 99% of business I assume haha. A lot of businesses that claim to use "humane" practices of getting meat, dairy and eggs are not true, there is really no human way to get meat or dairy (you can humanely get eggs though factory farms don't) you can read more about this stuff on SentientMedia (graphic content warning)

Farms around the world though use different ways of harvesting (by hand, by machine etc.) planting, different kinds of crops, different ways of waters, what kind of land they plant their crops in.

Hope this helps

have a nice day((:
