Answer: The correct answer is- C) Type of 5-carbon sugars.

Nucleic acid is a complex organic material, which is considered as one of the major macromolecules, essential for the survival of the life forms. It includes DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA ( ribonucleic acid), which are made up of small units called nucleotide.

A nucleotide is composed of three parts that are-

phosphate group, pentose sugar ( 5 carbon sugar, which is deoxyribose in case of DNA and ribose in case of RNA), and a nitrogenous base ( A, T, G, and C in case of DNA whereas A, U, G, and C in RNA).

Thus, option C) is the right answer.

Original Codon: CTC GAG
Vesna [10]

The original codons code for Leucine and Glutamic acid. The mutated codons code for Valine and Glutamine.

<h3>Genetic codes and amino acids</h3>

Each of the genetic codes. otherwise known as codons, translates to an amino acid.

Following the table of genetic codes with their respective amino acids:

  • CTC (CUC) codes for Leucine
  • GAG codes for Glutamic acid
  • GTC (GUC)codes for Valine
  • CAG codes for Glutamine

Thus, the glutamic acid in the original codon has been replaced with glutamine in the mutated codon while Leucine has been replaced with Valine.

How did the asteroid that smashed into Yucatan, Mexico 66 million years ago kill so many organisms (including the non-avian dino
Bad White [126]

Explanation:

Dinosaurs are living organisms that depends on the environment for survival. As the asteroid hits the Yucatan Peninsula area about 66 million years a couple of things can happen:

Frictional heating of the surface as the earth collided with the asteroid. This heating will cause surface temperature to rise globally and can induce the phenomenon of global warming. This can lead to release of water from reservoirs on the earth surface and hence flooding.

The impact can lead to increase in surface pressure beyond normal and that which life has adjusted to.

Debris in form of dust will be released into the atmosphere and a global air pollution will occur. Gases useful for life will be highly polluted by the vast amount of dusts and other particles discharged into the atmosphere.
