ANTONII [103]3 years ago

Answer:

1 - (\frac{61}{64})^n

Explanation:

Given

There are three stop codon

TAA, TAG, TGA.

Out of 64 available codons, 3 are stop codon thus the remaining are non-stop codon.

So the probability of choosing a non stop codon is

\frac{61}{64}

Let us suppose the number of trials are "x" then the probability of choosing a non stop codon is  

(\frac{61}{64})^x\\

Probability of choosing a stop codon is equal to

1 - probability of choosing a non stop codon

1 - (\frac{61}{64})^n

Serjik [45]

Answer:

Eventually the IR photons escape into space, but some make several round trips between the ground and the atmosphere before they depart. Along the way, a lot of energy is transferred to the ground and the atmosphere. That energy becomes heat which warms Earth's surface and its atmosphere.

Which statement about vacuoles is true?
Mila [183]

Vacuoles are storage organelles that are found in both animal and plant cells. They store food or any other forms of nutrients, they also store waste products so as to protect the contamination of the cell environment. These waste products are sent out of the cell via vacuoles. In plants the vacuoles are larger than in animals. The vacuole provides plant nourishment in the scarcity of water in the external environment hence, prevents the wilting of plants.
