Answer: this is because with triplet sequences, diversities would be generated and the possibility of overlapping is minimal

Answer:

Geneticists believe, even before direct experimental evidence was obtained, that the genetic code would turn out to be composed of triplet sequences and be non overlapping because<em> a triplet code gives 64 possible combinations but we only have 20 essential amino acids in our human proteins so there's room for some redundancy. That way some point mutations will still be able to correctly code for the desired protein.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The Genetic Code would turn out to be composed of triplet sequences means that the -

<em>Genetic Code is stored on one of the two strands of a DNA molecules as a linear, non-overlapping sequence of the nitrogenous bases Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T). These are the of "letters of the alphabet,"  that are used to write the "code words."</em>

<em>The genetic code consists of a sequence of three letter "words," (sometimes called 'triplets', sometimes called 'codons'), written one after another along the length of the DNA strand. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Each code word is a unique combination of three letters (like the ones shown below in the attachment) that will eventually be interpreted as a single amino acid in a polypeptide chain. There are 64 code words possible from an 'alphabet' of four letters. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>One of these code words, the 'start signal' begins all the sequences that code for amino acid chains. Three of these code words act as 'stop signals' that indicate that the message is over. All the other sequences code for specific amino acids. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>However, some amino acids are only coded for by a single 'word,' while some others are coded for by up to four 'words.' The genetic code is redundant.</em>

Genetic codes do not overlap: <em>The genetic code is composed of nucleotide triplets. In other words, three nucleotides in mRNA (a codon) specify one amino acid in a protein. The code is non-overlapping. This means that successive triplets are read in order.</em>

What is the main thing that drives water to move up from roots through the stem or trunk and to the leaves in plants?.
Sergio039 [100]

As water molecules from plant leaves evaporate, they attract the water molecules that are still present in the plant, aiding in the movement of water from the roots up through the stems. The water in a plant is transported from the bottom to the top by the combined effects of transpiration and capillary action.

  • Water molecules ascend up the cellulose tubes from the roots to the leaves because they tend to cling together (cohesion) and stick to the walls of tubes (adhesion). The water from the leaves then evaporates, aiding in the root system's ability to absorb additional water. We call this mechanism capillary action.
  • Water and minerals travel upward from the roots through the xylem due to a negative water potential gradient created by the evaporation of mesophyll cells in the leaves. Small perforations between vessel elements must be made to reduce gas bubbles in the xylem since they can obstruct water flow in the plant.
