Answer:

phosphorus is found in nucleic acids but not in proteins

Explanation:

Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen (C, H, O) participate in the composition of organic compounds such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids.

Nucleic acids are formed by: carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P).

Proteins are biomolecules. 5 elements are  found in most proteins: carbon (53%), hydrogen (7%), oxygen (23%), nitrogen (16%) and sulfur (1%). Nitrogen differentiates proteins from fats and carbohydrates.

Then we can see that phosphorus is found in nucleic acids but not in proteins

Clouds, atmospheric aerosols, snow, ice, sand, ocean surface and even rooftops play a role in deflecting the incoming rays. The remaining 70 percent of solar energy is absorbed by land, ocean, and atmosphere. "Greenhouse gases block about 40 percent of outgoing thermal radiation that emanates from Earth," Woods said.

HELP BIOLOGY???

Ans.

The codons show genetic codes, made up of triplet of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that code for specific amino acids. The different codes can code for a same a amino acid. When a substitutional mutation occurs in genetic material, it shows substitution of one nucleotide pair for another and leads to formation of a different codon.

The first mutation that leads to CAU to CAC, it will not show any potential damage as both CAU and CAC codons code for histidine amino acid.

The second mutation that leads to UGU to UGC will also not show any damage to protein as both of these codons code for cysteine amino acid.

The third codon, that results UCU to UUU will cause a potential damage to protein as UUU codes for phenyl alanine (an aromatic, non-polar amino acid) and UCU codes for serine (a polar amino acid).

Thus, the correct answer is 'option C).' as in a protein, substitution of serine with phenylalanine will lead to change in structure and function of that protein.
