#8 - The Genetic Code 18. How many amino acids are involved in the production of proteins?

Biology
2 answers:
Phoenix [80]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: 20 amino acids

Explanation:

The Genetic code permits the triplet nature of codons whereby three nucleotides from Adenine, Uracil, Guanine and Cytosine on the messenger RNA (mRNA) join to form 64 codons.

Since more than one codon can specify for an amino acid, the 64 codons then specify for 20 amino acids, that then form the sequence of various proteins

8. Genetic engineering has directly increased productivity in which<br><br> U.S. industry?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Agriculture  

Explanation:

Genetic engineering can be defined as the use of genetic techniques aimed at modifying the genome of living organisms, thereby being used to develop Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). In the USA, genetic engineering methodologies have been used in agriculture to improve crop yields and reduce costs (for example, by reducing the need to use pesticides). Some of the most important genetic engineering techniques that nowadays are being used in agriculture research include biolistic transformation, <em>Agrobacterium</em>-mediated transformation, the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system, etc.

Which statement best explains how the genetic code is universal? * The shape of a DNA molecule is the same in different species.
AysviL [449]

Answer:

A DNA sequence codes for the same proteins in different species

Explanation:

All living organisms store their genetic information in DNA (genetic material). The manner through which information in the genes are encoded is the GENETIC CODE. The genetic code comprises of all the codons that specifies amino acids in living organisms. The genetic code has several characteristics, which includes that the GENETIC CODE IS UNIVERSAL

The genetic code is said to be universal because all known living organisms use the same genetic code to encode their genetic information. This means that a DNA sequence codes for the same proteins in several different species. For example, codon AUG encodes the amino acid METHIONINE in every living organism.

What are the physical properties of he wax burning in a candle?
Naddik [55]

Candle wax is essentially the fuel that allows a candle to burn over long periods of time. Wax is composed of long chains of carbon and hydrogen that form waxy solids at room temperature and can be molded into any shape, the heat from the flame melts the candle wax into liquid vapor as well as liquid.
