single codon in an mRNA can couple to the anticodons of many different types of tRNAs. C. A single tRNA specific for a particular amino acid may respond to multiple codons in an mRNA D. More than one type of tRNA can be charged with a particular amino acid.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. "A single tRNA specific for a particular amino acid may respond to multiple codons in an mRNA".

Explanation:

Genetic code is said to be "degenerate" because there are more codons than amino acids, which is possible because a single tRNA specific for a particular amino acid may respond to multiple codons in an mRNA. tRNA recognize the codons of the mRNA by a specific nucleotide sequence called anticodon, however the nucleotide sequence of the anticodon can recognize more than one codon sequence. This phenomenon takes place at the third position of the codon and is known as "wobble".

In a species of birds, having wide wings (W) is dominant to having thin wings (w). Which of the following genotypes is INCORRECT
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The options including the genotypes are not included. On a general note, three genotypes that are possible for this trait including their phenotype is:

WW- Wide wings

Ww- Wide wings

ww- thin wings

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for wings width in a certain bird. The allele for wide wings (W) is dominant over the allele for thin wings (w). This means that allele 'W' will always mask the expression of allele 'w' in a heterozygous state.

There are three possible genotypes considering this trait.

WW- homozygous dominant genotype which wings will be phenotypically wide because it contains a combination of same dominant alleles.

Ww- heterozygous dominant genotype which wings will be phenotypically wide because I this combination of alleles, the W allele will always express itself phenotypically over allele 'w' considering the dominance of W.

ww- homozygous recessive genotype which wings will be phenotype thin because it contains a combination of same recessive alleles.

N.B: a recessive trait will only be expressed in a homozygous condition.

How are atmosphere and hydrosphere similar?
Nuetrik [128]
The atmosphere and hydrosphere involve creation of water-related weather activity, such as rainfall, snowstorms, hurricanes and monsoons.<span> The atmosphere contains five layers, which perform separate functions. The atmosphere performs many important duties, including producing winds and temperature that influences seasonal temperatures, and interacts with all systems on Earth, including the lithosphere and biosphere. hope this helps</span>
