The answer is <span>0.132606 amu.</span>

The mass defect (Δm) is the total mass of protons and neutrons minus the mass of the atom. 
<span>mass of an oxygen-16 atom: 15.994914 amu
mass of a proton: 1.00728 amu
mass of a neutron: 1.00866 amu
</span>
An oxygen atom has 8 protons and 8 neutrons. Therefore:
Δm = 8 · 1.00728 + 8 · 1.00866 - <span>15.994914 = 8.05824 + 8.06928 - 15.994914 = 0.132606 amu

Early in genetic research, it was suggested that the genetic code might be made up of overlapping codons in which the last two b
yuradex [85]

The genetic code is called non-overlapping because adjacent codons can not overlap, whereas in this case, the code is overlapping.

<h3>What does 'overlapping code' mean?</h3>

The genetic code does not overlap because the same nucleotide in the sequence cannot be used to encode two different codons.

In genetics, overlapping refers to a feature of the genetic code associated with how this nucleotide code is read.

In conclusion, the genetic code in this case is overlapping.

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

This organism belongs to Kingdom Fungi.

Explanation:

  • Fungi are heterotrophic, spore bearing Eukaryotes.
  • Most of the fungi are multicellular.
  • Their cells have a cell wall mainly  composed of Glucagon and chitin.
  • These are saprotrophic and lack a chloroplasts.
  • They store food as glycogen which is similar to storage product in animals.
  • The Kingdom fungi is divided into four major division on the basis of sexual reproduction ; chydridomycota, zygomycota, ascomycota and basidiomycota.
  • Many fungi show no sexual stage and are grouped as imperfect fungi or deuteromycetes.
  • The study of fungi is called Mycology.

Wewaii [24]
Flower color in primrose plants is controlled by an individual gene. The sudden appearance of one white flowering primrose in a plant breeder's field of red primrose plants is most likely due to mutation.
<span>A mutation represents the permanent alteration of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism in this case DNA of the plant.  Mutation can potentially lead to the inactivation of some enzyme involved in the biosynthetic pathway of the pigment.</span>
