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?

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.

the allele for white fur is revessive and the allele for normal fur is dominant the frequency for the normal fur allele is 0.60.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

36% of wolves have normal fur.

Explanation:

Given , the allele for white fur is recessive and the allele for normal fur is dominant

Let "N" represents the allele for normal fur and "n" represents the fur for white fur.

As per Hardy Weinberg's principle, the frequency for dominant allele is represented by "p"

Given ,

p = 0.60\\

Then frequency for dominant genotype will be "p^2"

So, Frequency for wolves with normal fur is

p^{2} \\0.60^2\\0.36

Percentage of the wolves with normal fur is

0.36*100\\= 36%
