Triplet bases in RNA called codons

1. Three nucleotides encode an amino acid. Proteins are built from a basic set of 20 amino acids, but there are only four bases. Simple calculations show that a minimum of three bases is required to encode at least 20 amino acids. Genetic experiments showed that an amino acid is in fact encoded by a group of three bases, or codon. 

<span>2. The code is nonoverlapping. Consider a base sequence ABCDEF. In an overlapping code, ABC specifies the first amino acid, BCD the next, CDE the next, and so on. In a nonoverlapping code, ABC designates the first amino acid, DEF the second, and so forth. Genetics experiments again established the code to be nonoverlapping. </span>



<span>3. The code has no punctuation. In principle, one base (denoted as Q) might serve as a “comma” between groups of three bases. </span>

<span>This is not the case. Rather, the sequence of bases is read sequentially from a fixed starting point, without punctuation. </span>





<span>4. The genetic code is degenerate. Some amino acids are encoded by more than one codon, inasmuch as there are 64 possible base triplets and only 20 amino acids. In fact, 61 of the 64 possible triplets specify particular amino acids and 3 triplets (called stop codons) designate the termination of translation. Thus, for most amino acids, there is more than one code word.</span>

Which best blocks X-ray particles and can therefore be observed more closely through the use of this technology?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be bones.

X-rays are high energy electromagnetic waves which have an ability to penetrate most of the biological tissues.

In the X-ray machine, a beam of high energy X-rays is passed through the filters and subject and then fall on the detector or photographic film to produce X-ray.

Dense tissues like bone, teeth, tumors et cetera blocks or stops most of the X-ray particles from reaching the detector or photographic film.

It forms glowing pictures on the X-ray film or photographic film.

The denser the material the brighter the image will be formed on the photographic film.
