Life as we know it depends on the genetic code: a set of codons, each made up of three bases in a DNA sequence and corresponding
mRNA sequence, that specifies which of the 20 amino acids will be added to the protein during translation. Imagine that a prokaryote-like organism has been discovered in the polar ice on Mars. Interestingly, these Martian organisms use the same DNA → RNA → protein system as life on Earth, except that there are only 2 bases (A and T) in the Martian DNA, and there are only 17 amino acids found in Martian proteins. Based on this information, what is the minimum size of a codon for these hypothetical Martian life-forms? View Available Hint(s) Based on this information, what is the minimum size of a codon for these hypothetical Martian life-forms? 2 bases 3 bases 4 bases 5 bases 6 bases The answer cannot be determined from the information provided.
The burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases these carbon emissions raise global temperatures by trapping solar energy in the atmosphere.
