Many of the amino acids are coded for by more than one codon. Examples are:

1. Isoleucine - ATT, ATC and ATA

2. Leucine - CTT,CTC,CTA CTG, TTA and TTG.

3. Valine - GTT, GTC, GTA and GTG.

4. Phenylalanine - TTT and TTC.

5. Cysteine - TGT and TGC

6. Alanine - GCT, GCC and GCG

7. Glycine - GGT, GCC, GGA and GGG.

8. Proline - CCT, CCC, CCA and CCG.

9. Threonine - ACT, ACC, ACA, and ACG.

10. Serine - TCT, TCC, TCA, TCG, AGT and AGC.

You observe a small, nonpolar molecule near a membrane. how would this molecule likely transport across the membrane? you observ

yaroslaw [1]

It will transported across plasma membrane by simple diffusion. simple diffusion refers to a process by which molecules will pass across plasma membrane without the aid of channels located on the surface of the membrane. since the molecule identified was polar once it enter in hydrophobic region of the membrane it will not stick since this region is non-polar and therefore it will move easily across that region.

What is one reason why many geologists did not at first accept the theory of continental drift?

Ivan

The first reason was that his theory of continental drift was just too weak for most geologists to accept. Even though he believed the supercontinent that broke up into different continents moved, he did not have a clear explanation to how the continents moved. The other reason is that some of his explanation clashed with ideas that were widely accepted in the science communities. He used similar fossils from different continents to back up his theory of continental drift. However, at that time, many scientists that had observed similarities in fossils in places like South America and Africa believed there were similar fossils in different continents because of a land bridge that were formed by two continents.

Many science communities believe that land bridges allowed migration of many different species and even people to one place to another by large bodies of water frozen by low temperature known as ice age.

damaskus [11]

Exercise is the primary advice the coaches give to the athletes if they get a cold or any other infection. The main reason behind this advice is the fact that exercising strengthens the immunity of a person. When a person has an infection, the strengthening of the immune system will help his body to efficiently fight against the infectious pathogens. The blood circulation is increased which is involved in the enhancement of the acute immunity of the person.
