Answer:
The codons that code for LEUCINE amino acid are:
1. UUA
2. UUG
3. CUU
4. CUC
5. CUA
6. CUG
Explanation:
A CODON is a group of three nucleotides in the mRNA molecule that specifies a particular amino acid. It represents a trio combination of nucleotides (A, G, C, U). There are about 64 possible codons formed from four nucleotides used in a combination of three's i.e 4³ = 64. All the codons collectively form the GENETIC CODE, which is used by all known living organisms.
However, since there are only 20 amino acids in nature and 64 possible codons, more than one codon encodes an amino acid. This means that the genetic code is DEGENERATE or REDUNDANT. Hence, in this case involving the amino acid: LEUCINE, the six (6) codons that specify it (depicted in the attached genetic code) are as follows:
- UUA
- UUG
- CUU
- CUC
- CUA
- CUG
Answer:
Explanation:
A cell as the functional and structural unit of life exhibits numerous concepts of life which include:
1. Growth; A cell is a subject to this as the growth of a cell translates to the growth of the tissue is composed of, the cell is responsible for all biochemical actions in living organisms, this growth is achieved via mitosis.
2. Reproduction: Cells also experience reproduction via meiosis, where a diploid cell divides to produce 2haploid cells an example of this is the spermatozoa.
3. Death: Cells are also subject to death, which can either be programmed (Apoptosis), or due to sickness(Necrosis). This is also found when humans die and become stiff due to rigor mortis which occurs as a result of cell death
It would belong to Animalia.
Organisms in Animalia are heterotrophs which means they can’t make their own food. It could technically also belong to Protista or Monera because some of the microorganisms in them are multicellular, but all of the organisms in Animalia are multicellular so it would be the most likely.
