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.

A meadow ecosystem includes many species of grasses and small shrubs, several herbivores, and a few carnivores. A fungus coloniz
Stels [109]

A field habitat vegetated by grass and other non-woody plants (grasslands) is known as a meadow. They are of ecological benefit as they are open, sunny regions, which fascinate and support fauna and flora that could not survive in other conditions.  

In the given case, when a fungus colonizes the meadow and destructs the majority of its vegetation, which comprises species of small shrubs and grasses, then this may result in the decline of herbivore species due to lack of vegetation on which they survive, which will eventually result in the reduction of carnivore species, as they feed on herbivores.
