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 the figure below, ΔMNO≅ΔPQR.What is the measure of ∠P? Show your work and explain your reasoning.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf P = 79.5\°}$

Explanation:

<u>Given that:</u>

ΔMNO ≅ ΔPQR

That means

M ↔ P

N ↔ Q

O ↔ R

So,

∠P ≅ ∠M

Given that P = 3x + 20.4 and M = 5x - 19

3x + 20.4 = 5x - 19

Add 19 to both sides

3x + 20.4 + 19 = 5x

3x + 39.4 = 5x

Subtract 3x to both sides

39.4 = 5x - 3x

39.4 = 2x

2x = 39.4

Divide both sides by 2

x = 19.7

<u>Given that:</u>

P = 3x + 20.4

P = 3(19.7) + 20.4 (x = 19.7)

P = 59.1 + 20.4

P = 79.5°

Which of the following has mechanical energy? Battery Burger bun Drawn bow Sunlight

Vladimir79 [104]

Drawn bow because the flexing of the bow and the increased tension in the bow string contain the energy expended by the archer’s muscles transferred to the bow. The energy is transmitted to the arrow when then it’s released. All this is mechanical energy.
The other items in the list have potential electrical energy (battery), locked energy in the nutrients released during digestion (bun), electromagnetic energy (sun).
