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>

If the concentration of sodium is greater outside a cell than inside the cell, which process could move sodium out of the cell?
Papessa [141]
Diffusion occurs because of the movement of molecules from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration. This movement of molecules occurs due to a thermal motion. Diffusion normally occurs between two compartments having difference in concentration. In case of fluid it moves from the region of higher concentration to the region of concentration until a balance is reached. The process of diffusion is very important for the humans as well. The oxygen that humans breathe in gets diffused with the blood.<span>

In an estuary, there is shallow, brackish water. What component of an estuary is this an example of?
Alona [7]
The answer is Habitat. The brackish water environment is formed due to the mixing of fresh water from the river with the salty waters of the ocean. This habitat is significant for fishes that come to spawn and feed. Crabs, mosquitoes and birds can also be found in this environment.
