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.

Answer:

5 bases

Explanation:

If there are 17 amino acids and only 2 bases that can be combined in order to make a codon then:

for 4 bases 4^{2} is 16 and it is not enough combination for all 17 amino acids

for 5 bases 5^{2} is 25 combinations (meaning that more than one codon could code for the same amino acid).

Cual es la ?disciplina que se encarga de las reglas de clasificacion?
bazaltina [42]

En el artículo anterior Disciplinas en SMC, explicamos cómo la disciplina de un archivo abierto en Solibri Model Checker (SMC) es útil en la asignación de color de componentes y su uso en filtros de reglas. Actualmente, estas disciplinas están codificadas y limitadas a las de la siguiente lista:

uc-01-01

La discusión de las disciplinas surge durante la coordinación cuando se verifican las intersecciones entre los sistemas. A saber, en qué disciplina configurar los archivos a medida que se agregan al modelo federado y qué disciplinas se deben comparar entre sí mediante la regla de intersección general en SMC. La clasificación dentro de SMC simplifica la asignación automática de sus archivos utilizando su propia convención de nomenclatura a cualquier disciplina personalizada que le gustaría crear.

Por ejemplo, puede tener una convención de nomenclatura diferente de disciplinas y usar el término "Mecánico" en lugar de "HVAC". Además, es posible que tenga un modelo de "Comunicaciones" que se diferencie de los modelos "Eléctricos", para los cuales no existe una disciplina dentro de SMC.

Suppose a population of insects live in a sandy habitat. some of the insects have tan bodies and some have green bodies. over ti
erma4kov [3.2K]
The number of green bodied insect would probably increase in the grass habitat. The insects that are green would be harder to spot by predators and therefore more likely to survive and produce offspring. The process of natural selection would favor the green color of the body and the future generations will have an increase in numbers of green bodied individuals over the tan bodied individuals.
