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.

3 lumps equals 1 clump and 10 clumps equals 1 pile, how many piles are 96 lumps
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

3.2 piles

Explanation:

step 1

Find out the number of lumps in 10 clumps

we know that

3 lumps equals 1 clump

by proportion

Let

x ----> the number of lumps

\frac{3}{1} \frac{lumps}{clump}=\frac{x}{10} \frac{lumps}{clumps}\\\\x=10(3)\\\\x=30\ lumps

step 2

Find out how many piles are 96 lumps

we know that

10 clumps equals 1 pile

10 clumps equals 30 lumps

so

1 pile equals 30 lumps

using proportion

Let

x -----> the number of piles

\frac{1}{30}\frac{pile}{lumps}=\frac{x}{96}\frac{piles}{lumps} \\\\x=96/30\\\\x=3.2\ piles

Homogeneous nucleation requires more undercooling than heterogeneous nucleation ___ Homogeneous nucleation usually occurs in a w
lora16 [44]

Options: True or False

Answer:

(1) True

(2) False

(3) True

(4) False

Explanation: Nucleation can be described as the process that determines how long an observer has to wait before a new phase occurs,such as the conversion from liquid to gas or vapour or from Solid to liquid.

There are basically two types of Nucleation which includes the HOMOGENEOUS NUCLEATION AND THE HETEROGENEOUS NUCLEATION.

Homogeneous nucleation(nucleation that occurs in the absence of foreign particles) is a type of Nucleation that requires more undercooling than Heterogeneous nucleation, they occur below the freezing temperatures.

Heterogeneous Nucleation (a type of Nucleation that occurs in the presence of foreign particles), it usually takes place at the surface and they usually require less undercooling temperature than Homogeneous nucleation.
