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.

Answer:

c)polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Explanation:

Because the paleontologist recovered only a bit of tissue and it is very old, it is very likely that the DNA in the sample is very small and part of it is degraded. Anyway, the paleontologist must first amplify the DNA sample to obtain many identical copies of the specific region of the DNA they want to compare. the above is done through a polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Which level of biodiversity includes species richness and evenness?

Novay_Z [31]

The answer is:

Community Diversity.

Reason Why: Here is an example, say you have 2 communities, community 1 is A, and community 2 is B, Communities A and B contain 5 tree species, However because community B has greater species evenness it has greater species diversity.
Community A is dominated by one of its 5 species and so has lower species diversity than.....community B, which has the same 5 species but in equal proportion.

Richness- Number of Species
Evenness-Relative abundance.
