Answer: 64 codons

Explanation:

The triplet nature of the genetic code make for a possible 64 codons: 61 code for amino acids present in most polypeptide chains while the remaining 3 are special-sense codons, since they only signal for the termination of the polypeptide chain.

Thus, the pattern of the genetic code permits that a base appear more than once in a codon. For instance Adenine occurs twice in both AAU and AAC codons, which code for asparagine.

Considering the drifting of continents, how do you explain the abundance of marsupials and the absence of native placental mamma
garri49 [273]

Answer:

this phenomenon is a natural consequence of evolutionary processes and continental drift  

Explanation:

Marsupials are mammals in which newborn offspring are carried in a pouch of the female (mother) body. On the other hand, placentals are mammals that complete embryo development in the mother's body, in the placenta. All the extant marsupials are endemic to Australia and the Americas. It has been shown that marsupials diverged (evolved) in South America, Australia and Antarctica when these landmasses were joined. In Australia, marsupials evolved to fit an ecological niche, which can be attributed to geographic isolation due to continental drift, while placental mammals are relatively recent and more scarce (mainly bats and rodents) within this region.
