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

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.

10+6h=34 what does h equal?
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:  h = 2.125

Explanation:

Simplifying

10h + 6h = 34

Combine like terms: 10h + 6h = 16h

16h = 34

Solving

16h = 34

Solving for variable 'h'.

Move all terms containing h to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by '16'.

h = 2.125

Simplifying

<h2>h = 2.125</h2>

Which plants are likely to be infertile or to have reduced fertility? Check all that apply. Check all that apply. Species with a
Lemur [1.5K]

D. Species with an odd number of chromosome sets (triploid and pentaploid) would be infertile.  

E. Aneuploid individuals (monosomic and trisomic) would have reduced fertility.

Explanation - Chromosomes generally happens to occur in the set of two. Organism that have more than two sets of chromosome are called polyploids. Polyploids that have odd or uneven count of sets of chromosome are sterile or fully infertile.

Example - triploid (3n), pentaploid (5n) because their gametes and offsprings are aneuploid. Aneuploidy is addition of entire chromosome to the already existing normal set of chromosome. Aneuploids are unable to produce viable offspring because their fertility got decreased as the zygote formed after the fertilization itself is aneuploid.

DNA replication involves un-winding two strands of parent DNA, copying each strand to synthesize complementary strands, and rele
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer: Option A) This is an anabolic process.

Explanation:

An anabolic process is simply a constructive process in which complex molecules are synthesized from simpler ones.

Thus just as photosynthesis or glycogen synthesis that yields complex molecules, since DNA replication leads to the synthesis of long double-stranded polynucleotides wounded together from a single strand (as in semi-conservative replication); we can therefore conclude that it is a anabolic process.
