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.

rodikova [14]

The phagocytotic barrier, which is a part of innate immunity best describes the above scenario.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The largest organ of the body is the skin, similarly the skin also an immune barrier to the body. If there is any damage in the skin , its pH gets compromised and there it calls in for a microbial attack.

When there is a cut in the skin and bacteria enter the body, the immune system responds. First, macrophages approach the area of the cut. Next, the macrophages surround any bacterial cells and engulf them, the Phagocytosis  barrier which is the part of the innate immunity

Answer:

Lipids

Explanation:

Lipids can be described as hydrocarbons which are only soluble in non-polar solvents like chloroform. Lipids are non-polar and are insoluble in water. Lipids serve s an excellent source of energy storage and energy is stored in the body of organisms due to these non-polar molecules. Energy is usually stored as triglyceride which is a type of lipid. Triglycerides contain glycerol and fatty acids. Fats and oils are examples of lipids.
