Biology

storchak [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

This means that one amino acid can be coded by more that one codon.

Explanation:

A triplet code that code for an amino acid during translation is called genetic code. The genetic code is said to be redundant because a single amino acid can be coded by more that one triplet codon.  

So there can be synonymous codon for one amino acid. For example, leucine, serine, and arginine have 6 synonymous codons.

The genetic code is unambiguous also because each triplet codon can only code for a particular single amino acid. Genetic code is also universal which means the same code is used in all life forms.

In class we also talked about the metabolism of HDL particles.
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

The basis for the inverse relationship between number of matured HDL in circulation and and cardiovascular disease is that when new HDL entertainment circulation they mature by picking up extra cholesterol until they become mature and high cholesterol level is a major cause of cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis. The implication of this is that the more the number of matured HDL in circulation, the lower the cholesterol level in the blood thus the lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis.
