Ans.

Protein synthesis involves formation of proteins, during which information present in DNA is used to make polypeptide chains. Hence, amino acid sequence of a polypeptide chain is determined by the sequence that may differ in different species having proteins with same amino acid sequence.

Thus, the molecules that are used to compare different species with proteins having exact same amino acid sequences are DNA molecules.

Protein synthesis includes two steps, transcription and translation. During transcription, DNA gets converted into RNA by RNA polymerase enzyme, while during translation, RNA provides information to make proteins.

In RNA information is present as triplets of nucleotides, known as codon. Each code codes for a specific amino acid. There are a total of 64 codons, while number of protein-forming amino acids is 20. Hence, one amino acid can be coded by more than one codon and this property of codons is known as degeneracy of codons.

Thus, two species may have the same protein even if their DNA molecules are different because of degeneracy of codons.

Post parturient ketosis usually appears
yan [13]
The correct option is A.
Post parturient refers to the period after a living organism have given birth to offspring.  Post parturient ketosis is a type of ketosis that occur to a female animal after she has given birth to young ones. Glucose is the major fuel that living organisms used to generate energy, when there is shortage of glucose, the body use fat instead as fuel and this leads to the production and build up of ketone bodies. The build up of ketone bodies increases the level of ketones in the blood and this state of metabolismis called ketosis.

Which characteristics of living things does a car have? How can the characteristics of living things be used to show that a car
Vikentia [17]
Some characteristics of living things that a car has is that it can move around, it takes in liquid to break down to use, and it puts out carbon dioxide. The characteristics of living things can be used to show that a car is not living because living things can be broken down by other living things, they also can think for themselves, and can move without something controlling them. (Plants can too, but very slowly.)
