Answer:
In the most general case of x bases and y bases per codon, the total number of possible codons is equal to xy .
In the case of the hypothetical Martian life-forms, is the minimum codon length needed to specify 17 amino acids is 5 (25 = 32), with some redundancy (meaning that more than one codon could code for the same amino acid). For life on Earth, x = 4 and y = 3; thus the number of codons is 43, or 64. Because there are only 20 amino acids, there is a lot of redundancy in the code (there are several codons for each amino acid).
Explanation:
Explanation:
because the pressure exerted by artery is more than that of vein due to its narrow lumen and thick walls...causing it difficult to clot.
Answer:
B
Mutation is the ultimate source of genetic variation, but mechanisms such as sexual reproduction and genetic drift contribute to it as well Because prokaryotes are haploid, such a mutation immediately become part of the genetic makeup of the cell unlike eukaryotic diploids where a normal second copy of the gene usually protects the cell from the potentially lethal effect of such a mutation.
I. Each carbon atom can form single bonds with up to four other carbon atoms. II. Each carbon atom can form double bonds with up to two other carbon atoms. III. Carbon atoms can join together to form chains or rings. IV. A single molecule of some compounds can contain thousands of carbon atoms.
Answer:
All the given choices
Explanation:
Carbon is a very interesting element which is the backbone of most organic compounds.
Organic compounds are made up of carbon. Carbon forms a wide range of compound due to the following properties;
- An atom of carbon has 4 valence electrons and can bond with 4 other carbon.
- Carbon can form single, double and triple covalent bonds.
- They can join together to form rings or chains.
