Three adjacent nucleotides constitute a unit known as the codon, which codes for an amino acid. For example, the sequence AUG is a codon that specifies the amino acid methionine. There are 64 possible codons.

Why is the jaw of a dogfish underslung? what disadvantages does it have? ...?
Iteru [2.4K]

 First off, the jaw itself, is capable of projecting an impressive 30% of the total head length, which is over 10% more than the jaw protrusion of a lemon shark.  Also note the teeth of <span>Squalus acanthias </span>actually interlock to form an almost uniform cutting surface. Finally on either side of the jaw you have what is referred to as labial cartilage. These structures fold out as the dogfish projects its jaw, essentially causing the jaw to take on a tubular shape, which increases suction pressure as the shark opens its mouth.  As the jaws close these cartilages snap back into place in folds along the side of the jaw, which is why spiny dogfish, smooth dogs, nurse sharks, and other sharks that make use of this mechanism have such distinctive “cheeks.” The disadvantage it has is that it cannot open its mouth too much.

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

a. True.

Explanation:

Even though the cells in our body rely on glucose as a source of energy, they can replace glucose's energy with lipids or proteins' energy. In the brain's case, this is not possible since the blood-brain barrier, which is a highly selective barrier between the blood and the extracellular fluid in the central nervous system, allows the passage of glucose as the only source of energy. This is why maintaining the correct levels of glucose is crucial for the metabolism in the brain.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]
Human factors psychology is a branch of experimental psychology often associated with industrial/organizational psychology because it concentrates on the interaction of people and machines. Good human factors engineering can make a product convenient and easy to use, rather than frustrating and confusing.

What is Human Factors psychology?
Human Factors as a discipline was stimulated by pilot errors that cost many lives during World War II. Analysis of flying accidents revealed that many were due to the confusing layout of instruments in airplane cockpits. Pilots were faced with a bewildering array of dials and gauges in the cockpit, yet they were expected to keep track of all pertinent information and respond appropriately in emergencies. Human Factors psychologists helped to identify problems in cockpit design. They attempted to design instrument panels that were clear and easy to use for humans.
