If none of the nucleotides includes stop or start codons when a segment of a gene contains 27 nucleotides there will be 81 amino acids in this segment code.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Codon is a nucleotides within messenger RNA. A stop or start codon is a nucleotide triplet which signals protein termination. Start codons initiate to start translation while the stop codon initiates termination.

The genetic codes are the sequence for nucleotide that codes for amino acids. A segment containing 27 nucleotides multiplied by 3 gives 81 amino acids. Every nucleotide in an mRNA are read “three at a time”. Hence this segment codes for 81 amino acids.

What are potential impacts on society and the environment of using a genetic approach to improving food productivity? Do you thi
Lilit [14]

Answer:

- Society: the use of genetic improving techniques may have a positive impact through crop improvement of traits of agronomic importance such as, for example, resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses.

- Environment: the development of genetically modified crops conferring resistance to pesticides may have a negative effect on wildlife species  (both plants and animals) and humans living in such agroecosystems.

Explanation:

In crops, genetic improvement technologies can be defined as the techniques associated with the development of better crop varieties, i.e., varieties that have higher grain yield, produce more biofuel, higher fiber content, etc. Genetic improvement techniques include, among others, selective breeding and genetically modified organisms. In crops, genetic improvement techniques have the potential to reduce hunger in the world. However, it is important to note that genetic engineering may be associated with the horizontal transference of genes and the development of genetically modified organisms (GMO), which may have harmful effects on wildlife species and humans, thereby GMO crops must be carefully assessed before their release into the field.
