Biology
1 answer:
ioda3 years ago
6 0

Answer: The number of codons in the sequence is 21.

Explanation: A codon is a triplet of nucleotide which codes for a specific amino acid. Each amino acid has at least one codon that codes for it. Three nucleotide residues is required to form a codon and to code an amino acid. Since there are 63 nucleotides in the sequence, the number of codons present in the sequence is 63 divided by 3. 63/3 = 21

Anne was observing a cell under a microscope which was undergoing binary fission. Which type of cell was Anne observing? 1 Eukar
exis [7]
3 is the answer.  

Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction and is the most common method of reproduction in prokaryotes. It may occur in some unicellular (single- celled) eukaryotes..

Eukaryotes use sexual recombination during reproduction to create or generate genetic variation and thus the resulting offspring will have a mixture of the parents' genetic characteristics. 


Prokaryotes on the other hand will simply produce clones of themeslves through binary fisson. After the process of replicating its own genetic material, the  prokaryote  simply divides into two daughter cells that are almost identical in size and that concludes the process.
