Excess carbs and fats are stored; excess proteins are not.
Excess calories are transformed as fat when in excess, which includes protein.
Answer:
This means that one amino acid can be coded by more that one codon.
Explanation:
A triplet code that code for an amino acid during translation is called genetic code. The genetic code is said to be redundant because a single amino acid can be coded by more that one triplet codon.
So there can be synonymous codon for one amino acid. For example, leucine, serine, and arginine have 6 synonymous codons.
The genetic code is unambiguous also because each triplet codon can only code for a particular single amino acid. Genetic code is also universal which means the same code is used in all life forms.
Answer:
D) Silent mutation on second codon, third amino acid changed from ILE to ASN.
Explanation:
Silent mutations are usually point mutation where you change one nucleotide. Since, the nucleotide changed is the third position, it does not affect the protein being manufactured (it will still put the amino acid Ala) [look up the codon redundancy on youtub.e to understand how awesome nature is!]
On the other hand, the other mutation introduced is Missense mutation where a different Amino acid is added due to change in codon (goes from ILE to ASN).
The answer is D, all of the above.
Answer:
Transgenic
Explanation:
Recombinant DNA technology is used to make transgenic organisms. Genetic material from one specie is inserted into the genome of another thus modifying its characteristics. There are several ways of doing this including electroporation and transduction. This process is referred to as genetic engineering.
