The genetic code can be defined as a set of rules used to encode information from genetic material (DNA or RNA ) into proteins. There are sequences of nucleotide triplets, -codons which specify which amino acid will be added next during translation (protein synthesis). Genetic code consists of 64 codons and this means that some amino acids are specified by more than one codon.
Genetic code has a role to determine amino acid sequence of protein (primary structure of protein). Location and the function of all those synthesized proteins is determinated by regulatory genomic regions (gene regulatory codes).
Proteins perform a wide range of functions within organisms such as catalysing metabolic reactions, DNA replication, stimuli response, structure role, transport role. So, all the diversity of organisms on this planet is due to protein variety.
Answer:
1. asexual, mitosis 2. sexual 3. gametes, meiosis 4. haploid 5. sex cells
Explanation:
Asexual reproduction is the form of reproduction that occurs whereby there is no fusion of gametes or a change in the number of chromosomes. The produced daughter cells are genetically similar to the parent. the form of cell division that occurs here is through a process of mitosis.
Different organisms adopt different type of asexual reproduction including binary fission, spore formation, fragmentation etc.
Sexual reproduction in contrast generates genetically unique organism through the fusion of two different organisms sex cells. To accomplish sexual reproduction, gametes that are haploid through a process of meiosis must be produced which are the egg cell and the sperm cells (the sex cells). These haploid cells are produced only in the germ cells to ensure the production of a diploid zygote.
Transcription occurs in the nucleus of the cell. RNA polymerase breaks the hydrogen bonds and unzips a portion of DNA. RNA nucleotides match the DNA strand forming mRNA. In mRNA thymine is replaced by uracil. Once mRNA is formed it leaves the nucleus through a nuclear pore into the cytoplasm. The purpose of mRNA is to remove the protein code out of the nucleus without pulling the DNA out. mRNA then needs to find ribosomes in the cytoplasm which can be found on the rough ER. mRNA has read three bases at the same time and these are called codons. Ribosomes read the mRNA code and add the correct amino acid using tRNA. tRNA has an anti-codon on one end which will match a specific codon, and a specific amino acid on the other end. This will make translation happen.
Translation- mRNA attaches to a ribosome and a start codon must be read. tRNA brings the first amino acid which matches the codon on mRNA. The next tRNA molecule moves in and matches with the codon on mRNA while amino acids form a peptide bond. First tRNA detaches itself and mRNA shifts for the next tRNA molecule to come in. Protein grows until a stop codon is reached and then it's ready to finish folding to become functional.

Answer: C.) Shallow Lake
Explanation: This is the answer because external fertilization can only happen with reptiles and other animals that are similar to reptiles.
Example: Snakes and turtles.
