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

Biology
1 answer:
storchak [24]2 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.

Doss [256]

I think you're confused. There are only two sexes, male and female. Sex is what you were biologically born as from birth, while gender is what you choose to identify as. Gender is a choice, sex isn't. They couldn't discover any other genders because at the time they probably didn't even know what gender was like three thousand years ago, therefore they couldn't look like a different gender.

timurjin [86]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

The bacteria cell walls is made up of mainly peptidoglycans. Archae is made up e.g pseudo-peptidogycans and others instead of peptidoglycans and eukarya are made up of many more substances other than peptidoglycans. Archae are also unicellular. Some groups of archae can survive at this temperature too. Thus what differentiates this organism from eukarya and archae is that its cell wall is made primarily of peptidoglycans.
