Answer:

It helps them survive

Explanation:

Mimicry is when animals have forms and coloration that makes them blend in with their environment, which helps them to escape from their predators or approach their prey undetected and thus mimicry helps organisms survive. An example is the stick insect. They look like real sticks in shape and color and even move in a way that resembles a stick movement by the wind. This way they may escape the sharp vision of many insectivorous birds.

Answer:

<h2>Codon </h2>

Explanation:

The sequence of DNA is transcribed into mRNA, containing the sequence for protein synthesis, protein is synthesized according to the codons in mRNA. This sequence of nucleotide on DNA/ RNA is divided into a series of three nucleotide units, and one unit of three nucleotide is known as codons.

There are overall 64 codons, 61 codons out of 64 codons, codes for overall 20 amino acids, and the remaining three are stop codons.

These there codon do not code for any amino acid.

And these 61 codons, they code for total 20 amino acids. So one amino acid can be coded by one or more than one codons.
