Explain the reasoning establishing that a sequence of three nucleotides (a triplet codon) is the basic unit of the code relating

DNA to protein.

GREYUIT [131]4 years ago

Answer:

A sequence of three nucleotide called triplet codon is the basic unit of the code relating DNA to protein because we have four nucleotide which can code for 20 amino acids. So if we take a doublet code it can code for only 16 combination (4²=16) which is not sufficient for 20 amino acids.

But when we take a triplet code it can code for 64(4³=64) combination which is sufficient to code 20 amino acids found in human body. So this was the reason for scientist to establish three nucleotide code for a single amino acids. Later it was found that genetic code is universal and in every organism it is same for a particular amino acid.

Snezhnost [94]

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the fuel for muscle contraction. In muscle cells, ATP is used for the active transport of calcium ions (Ca2+) and the movement of motor proteins.

  • The condition of skeletal muscle fatigue can be best explained by insufficient intracellular quantities of ATP due to excessive consumption.

  • Muscle cells contain a high amount of mitochondria because they need to create more ATP to function than other cells.

  • During skeletal muscle fatigue, ATP is resynthesized by the oxidation of carbohydrates and the anaerobic use of phosphocreatine.

OverLord2011 [107]
The statement is true. There are two main anabolic stimuli for muscle that is exercise and protein ingestion. Protein not only provides the building blocks for the muscle, but also provides the trigger to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. Muscle protein synthesis is the physiological process of adding new amino acids to muscle  proteins and is the primary mechanism of muscle growth.
