What is the importance of codons differing in the last nitrogenous base (ex. CUU, CUC both coding for leucine) but still being a

ble to code for the same amino acid?
Biology

This characteristic is called redundancy.

Redundancy is one of the characteristics of the genetic code, meaning that there may be several triplets (or codons) that code for the same amino acid. And these codons differ in the third nucleotide of the codon.

This characteristic has an interest in the conservation of protein sequences in case of mutations (we will have silent mutations that will not change the amino acid sequence).

It also has another interest that is to fill all possible combinations of codons: there are 64 different codons coding for 20 amino acids.

What is the elevation of point B
Alika [10]

Answer: c. Point B has an elevation less than 2750 feet.

Explanation:

The lines drawn on the map are known as contour lines and they are used to measure elevation. Point B is on a river and rivers are only able to flow at a lower elevation than the area around them.

Point B is therefore lower than the area around it and as the closest contour line to it puts the area at an elevation of 2,750 feet, that must mean that Point B is lower than 2,750 feet.

Compare and contrast optical and radio telescope
Umnica [9.8K]

Hallo~~~

When comparing optical and radio telescopes, we know that both of these telescopes detect a certain band of the electromagnetic spectrum.

When contrasting optical and radio telescopes, we know that optical telescopes have higher equipment (polished mirrors, accuracy), and that they depend on weather. Radio telescopes have lower equipment (less precise reflectors), and depend on diff. things such as thermal radiation and man-made emissions.
