NASA scientists found on Mars a molecule similar to DNA, except it only uses three bases (A, C, T). Just like DNA, however, it i

s transcribed into an mRNA-like transcript. Assuming the following: (1) that proteins are made from this mRNA transcript, (2) that 30 amino acids exist for this organism, and (3) that the code is known to be degenerate, what is the minimum number of bases likely to be in a single codon?

Answer: 4 codon

Explanation:

We have two important data, that a molecule brought from Mars uses only three bases (A, C and T) and that it has 30 amino acids

Knowing that to encode 30 amino acids with 3 bases, you need to have 4 bases in your codon.

We have the possibility that having 4 bases can be encoded enough like this:

3 ^ 4 = 81.

however if we do the same procedure with 3 basic codons we will get an insufficient result

  3 ^ 3 = 27

so the most likely codon number is 4

how does the presence of white flowers cahnge from the parent generation to first generation of offspring to the second genratio
UNO [17]

Answer:

P generation:  1 purple flower (AA)  :  1 white flower (aa)

F1 generation:  4 purple flowers (Aa)  :  0 white flowers

F2 generation:  3 purple flowers (AA, Aa)  :  1 white flower

Explanation:

Assuming the parents are AA and aa, the allele for white flowers is recessive, so there needs to be two of them for the trait to be expressed.  Thus, the capital A purple allele that the other parent contributes will mask that white allele and all the flowers will appear purple.  However, all of the offspring are Aa now, so when they are crossed, there's a 25% chance that they'll both contribute the lowercase a allele that codes for white flowers.  Remember that if both of them give the lowercase a allele then the offspring will be aa and appear white.

Contrast the different ways bromeliads and pitcher plants acquire nutrients from animal sources. NOT COMPARE.
dezoksy [38]
<span>Bromeliads are an example of mutualism where they create mini-ecosystems that house other small animals by collecting rainwater in their leaves. The bromeliad benefits from the nutrients when these organisms decompose when they die. Unlike the Pitcher plants which are predators, they actively trap insects and other small animals in their pitchers.
