Answer:

<h2>Codon </h2>

Explanation:

The sequence of DNA is transcribed into mRNA, containing the sequence  for protein synthesis, protein is synthesized according to the codons in mRNA.  This sequence of nucleotide on DNA/ RNA is divided into a series of three nucleotide units, and one unit of three nucleotide is  known as codons.

There are overall 64 codons, 61 codons out of 64 codons, codes for overall 20  amino acids, and the remaining three  are stop codons.

These there codon do not code for any amino acid.

And these 61 codons, they  code for total 20 amino acids. So one amino acid can be coded by one or more than one codons.

What evidence is there that the endangered species act is causing harm to species????
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

There is strong and increasing evidence the Endangered Species Act is causing widespread harm to the species it is supposed to protect-to the extent the Act may be doing more harm than good. The Act makes otherwise normal and legal forms of land and resource use illegal, such as farming, home building and cutting timber. The Endangered Species Act’s severe penalties-$100,000 and/or 1 year in jail for harming a single species or even unoccupied habitat that is deemed suitable-turn species in to liabilities. As a result, landowners seek to reduce their liabilities in a number of ways.
