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 do we mean when we say that there is a "Consilience of Evidence" supporting a theory?
Gnoma [55]

The correct answer is C) That scientists who have worked on the theory have independently and repeatedly come to the same conclusions over time.

Explanation:

In science, the term "consilience of evidence" is used when the evidence of a hypothesis or theory is consistent especially evidence from independent scientists or sources. This often implies the theory has been tested many times and by different experts and even using different methods but the results are always the same. This consilience of evidence is essential to declare a theory as valid and concluding. In this context, the option that describes the meaning of this term is C.

Helga [31]
<span>The scientist who melted glass to simulate a microscope was Robert Hooke, in 1660. He was an English physicist, and he looked at insects and handheld objects. He named the cell for the cell of a monk, because to him it appeared to be a self-contained room.</span>
