Answer:
The correct answer is: C. third nucleotide position.
Explanation:
- Genes located on the chromosomes encodes for proteins.
- A Gene is made up of a Deoxyribonucleotide (DNA) sequence which is transcribed into the messenger Ribonucleotide (mRNA) sequence by the help of RNA polymerase.
- This mRNA sequence is further translated into the amino acid sequence, that folds to form the functional protein, by the help of the Ribosome.
- The Ribosome reads the mRNA sequence in the form of triplets (three nucleotide together) and each such triplet nucleotide codes for an amino acid.
- Each such triplet nucleotide is known as a Codon.
- The Genetic Code is a table which represents the amino acid encoded by each codon.
- However, the Genetic Code is degenerate in nature. This means that one amino acid can be coded by more than one codon.
- This is because, among the the three nucleotide positions in a codon only the first two determine the specificity of the amino acid while the third nucleotide, also called the wobble nucleotide, is not specific. Presence of any nucleotide in the third position of the codon will not alter the amino acid encoded by the codon.
- In the given question, organisms producing homologous protein have similar amino acid sequence but they vary in the corresponding nucleotide sequence of the gene which codes for the homologous protein.
- This is because at the nucleotide level the variation lies in the wobble nucleotide position that occupies the third position in the codon.
Answer:
b
Explanation:
the seeds aren't eaten or destroyed
Well, MOST pathogenic bacteria is harmless, but SOME could cause death, like tuberculosis, but just in case you would want to mark the answer as, "True".
I hope I helped! =D
Answer:
Ocean circulation patterns is directly linked with the marine ecosystem. El Nino event hinders the climate interaction of ocean.
Explanation:
- The disturbance in the ocean climate interaction transfers the essential nutrients into the deep down ocean leaving very tiny amount at the surface. It lacks the support to plankton growth.
- Ocean circulation patterns can sometime make the ocean food ecosystem less productive.
- El Nino event reverses the ocean current. Surface waters in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean become significantly warmer than usual during this event. So the drifting starts towards east direction (normally driven west).
