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.

Shyam can get the sugar to dissolve in the water by

1. <u>continuously stirring the solution</u> in order to increase the entropy of the system. The more the entropy of a system, the faster the rate of reaction.

2. <u>raising the temperature of the water</u> through heating. The heat will increase the entropy of the system and cause more sugar to dissolve.

Why is a cell considered the basic unit of life?
vekshin1

Answer:

Cells are considered the basic units of life in part because they come in discrete and easily recognizable packages. That's because all cells are surrounded by a structure called the cell membrane — which, much like the walls of a house, serves as a clear boundary between the cell's internal and external environments.
