A group of people are building a house. They have a large package of building materials that needs to be moved. A block and tackle, a type of pulley, is used to pull the material up so it can be set in the back of a truck.
Answer:
An amino acid can be encoded by more than one codon.
Explanation:
Codons are triplets of nucleotides in mRNA that are used for the protein synthesis (translation). A codon specifies a single amino acid, but there are exceptions. tRNA molecule contain anticodons, triplets of nucleotides that are complementary to codons. So, during the translation, tRNA carries the amino acid, that corresponds to the codon in mRNA.
Degenerate genetic code (more than one codon can code for the same amino acid) is important, because when point mutation occurs it is possible that the amino acid remains unchanged.
Multicellular organisms are referred to as eukaryotes while the opposite, unicellular organisms, are called prokaryotes. Among all the kingdoms, I believe the kingdom which all organisms are multicellular are Animalia and Plantae.
