Life as we know it depends on the genetic code: a set of codons, each made up of three bases in a DNA sequence and corresponding

mRNA sequence, that specifies which of the 20 amino acids will be added to the protein during translation. Imagine that a prokaryote-like organism has been discovered in the polar ice on Mars. Interestingly, these Martian organisms use the same DNA → RNA → protein system as life on Earth, except that there are only 2 bases (A and T) in the Martian DNA, and there are only 17 amino acids found in Martian proteins.
Based on this information, what is the minimum size of a codon for these hypothetical Martian life-forms?
a. 2 bases
b. 3 bases
c. 4 bases
d. 5 bases
e. 6 bases
f. The answer cannot be determined from the information provided.

a man with blood group A marries a woman with blood group O and their daughter has blood group O. Is this information enough to
Nonamiya [84]
This information is not enough to tell which of the traits-blood group A or O is dominant.
It is known that blood groups A and B are codominant, which means both will express if found together in a heterozygote. However, blood group O is recessive. But from this information, you can conclude that blood group O is dominant. Why is that so?
Let's imagine that father's genotype is AA and mothers' genotype OO and cross them:
Parents:               AA    x    OO
Offspring:      AO    AO   AO    AO
Since we have information that daughter has blood group O, we can conclude that O is dominant over A and mask it. This is not true! In this case, the daughter will have blood group A.

Mother's genotype surely is OO (because O allele is recessive, so to express a recessive trait both alleles must be recessive). But, the father cannot be AA, because it must give O allele to the daughter so she can have genotype OO and blood group O. So, the father's genotype is AO.  Let's take a look at that crossing:
Parents:         AO   x    OO
Offspring:   AO   AO   OO   OO
Thus, in this case, daughter can have genotype OO and blood group O.

During the initiation step of translation, the fmet charged trna assembles in which site of the ribosome?
professor190 [17]

P site, initiation step of translation, the fmet charged tRNA assembles in this site of the ribosome.The small ribosomal subunit, mRNA, initiator tRNA, and large ribosomal subunit come together to form the initiation complex. The P site of the completed ribosome is where the initiator tRNA is located.

When an amino acid, tRNA, and mRNA come together inside the ribosome, translation begins. The process of translation continues as the mRNA passes through the ribosome after it has started. Each codon pairs with a new tRNA anticodon, bringing in new amino acid to lengthen the chain.

At the subunit interface, tRNA molecules bind to the ribosome in a solvent-accessible channel. The big and small subunits each feature three tRNA binding sites known as the aminoacyl site (A site), peptidyl site (P site), and exit site (E site). The expanding polypeptide chain of amino acids is held in place by the tRNA by the P site, also known as the peptidyl site. The new amino acid that will be added to the polypeptide chain is stored in the aminoacyl tRNA, to which the A site (acceptor site) binds.
