Biology
1 answer:
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.

What is the difference between rRNA, tRNA, mRNA and codon,anticodon
Eddi Din [679]
MRNA, is used to transcript DNA codes from DNA molecules and then later exits the nucleus via nuclear pore, then moves to the ribosome. Then, tRNA is activated to bring specific amino acid to the ribosome for translation. Ribosome, which is the site of synthesis of proteins, is composed of rRNA and ribosomal proteins.
A codon is a three-base sequence (three nitrogen bases in a row) on mRNA. An anticodon is a three-base sequence on tRNA. It matches the codon.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Co-vid-19

Explanation:

I think because since Co-vid-19 is new and nobody knows what the real side effects are, they really can't make any medicine for it. It will take time and if they do make medicine, it will take time to know how It will react and how it will react in the long term.

Which pair of terms concerning the osmotic effect of a solution on red blood cells is mismatched?
QveST [7]
Even though there are no choices given in this particular question, the principle of osmosis is very easy to understand. 

When we talk about osmosis, we are referring to the movement of water from a low concentration to a higher concentration. This is different from diffusion, which talks specifically about the movement of <em>solutes</em> in the solution (from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.)

When an RBC is placed inside a <em>hypertonic </em>solution, the water inside the RBC will go out thereby shrinking the RBC.

Inside an <em>isotonic</em> solution, the RBC will remain the same because the concentrations are equal.

Inside a <em>hypotonic</em> solution, the RBC will lyse or explode because water will move from the solution going inside the RBC.
