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.

PLS HELP!!!!
zzz [600]

Explanation:

Frog undergoes a complete metamorphosis. It includes the egg, tadpole, froglet and then adult frog stages. In complete metamorphosis the hatchling does not resemble the parent and changes as it grows to be an adult.

During metamorphosis the tadpole will develop back legs first, then front legs.  Around 6 weeks of life the mouth starts to widen.  Sometime around 10 weeks the froglet’s, as it is now called, eyes start to bulge out and the tail begins to shrink and eventually disappear.  When the lungs finish developing the froglet makes it’s way onto the land and, Ta-da! It’s a frog!

Hope this helps!

Monica [59]

Answer:

<em>Answer = explanation.</em>

Explanation:

If we think deeply about the matter, animals are way more important than humans and our needs, since nature depends on the relationship animals have with each-other and not on anything humans do. Historically, we were part of nature, but that was when we were still hunting, gathering and reproducing, not making trillions of plastic bags every year.

Natural conditions should be preserved at all costs, in other words, it comes first, and our needs should come last, in a very environmentally conscious society, that is. If we continue putting ourselves and our needs first, future generations will have a really nasty world to live in. But, since humands have their needs, we should maintain them, as long as they're within the "things I need to survive, study and work" range of needs, otherwise, we will be talking about unnecessary stuff.

Hope it helped,
