DNA molecules consist of chemically linked sequences of the bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine, denoted A, G, C, and

T. A sequence of three bases is called a codon. A base may appear more than once in a codon. How many different codons are there?

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.

Role of the Pentose Phosphate Pathway If the oxida-tion of glucose 6-phosphate via the pentose phosphate path-way were being use
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Please look at the explanation section

Explanation:

In the oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway, NADPH molecules and ribose-5-phosphate molecules are created. The function of NADPH molecules is to build other types of molecules. For example, RSP sugar is used for the production of DNA and RNA creating S-phospho-D-ribose alpha-1 pyrophosphate, and, if there is an excess of ribose-S-phosphate, said excess may not be used to biosynthesis and therefore it is transformed into other sugars that can be used by the cell for metabolism.

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The science of naming and grouping organisms is called systematics and the term taxa describes any of the groups of organisms.

Explanation:

Genealogy is the study of families, family history, and the tracing of their lineages. <em>Genealogists use oral interviews, historical records, genetic analysis, and other records to obtain information about a family and to demonstrate kinship and pedigrees of its members.</em>

Numismatics is the study of the physical embodiment of various payment media (i.e. currencies). <em>The study of numismatics as it applies to coins is often in the research of the production and use of the coins to determine their rarity.</em>

Systematics, or Taxonomy, is the study of the kinds of organisms of the past and living today, and of the relationships among these organisms. <em>Systematists collect and study the variety of plants and animals and group them according to patterns of variation.</em>

<em>Speciation is an evolutionary process by which a new species comes into being</em>. A<em> species is a group of organisms that can reproduce with one another to produce fertile offspring and is reproductively isolated from other organisms.</em>

  • <u>taxon - taxa:</u><em> a taxonomic group of any rank, such as a species, family, or class.</em>
