The genetic code is redundant. What is meant by this statement?

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.

A performer, seated on a trapeze, is swinging back and forth with a period of 8.90 s. If she stands up, thus raising the center
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

8.800s

Explanation:

When the performer swings, she oscillates in SHM about Lo of the string with time period To = 8.90s.

First, determine the original length Lo, where for a SHM the time period is related to length and the gravitational acceleration by the equation

T = 2π×√(Lo/g)..... (1)

Let's make Lo the subject of the formulae

Lo = gTo^2/4π^2 ..... (2)

Let's put our values into equation (2) to get Lo

Lo = gTo^2/4π^2

= (9.8m/s^2)(8.90s)^2

------------------------------

4π^2

= 19.663m

Second instant, when she rise by 44.0cm, so the length Lo will be reduced by 44.0cm and the final length will be

L = Lo - (0.44m)

= 19.663m - 0.44m

= 19.223m

Now let use the value of L into equation (1) to get the period T after raising

T = 2π×√(L/g)

= 2π×√(19.223m/9.8m/s^2)

= 8.800s

Mendel's law of______ governs which allele is expressed in an individual.​
allsm [11]

Answer:

Mendel stated that each individual has two alleles for each trait, one from each parent. Thus, he formed the “first rule”, the Law of Segregation, which states individuals possess two alleles and a parent passes only one allele to his/her offspring. One allele is given by the female parent and the other is given by the male parent.
