Answer:

4

Explanation:

Nucleotides on a DNA sequence are classified into three bases that make up a codon. During translation, the mRNA information is translated in form of codons into amino acids that form different types of proteins. 20 types of amino acids exist. When 14 is divided by 3( number of nucleotides that make a codon) we get 4 complete codons. The four codons are coded to form 4 different amino acids.

How do convection currents in the atmosphere form?
victus00 [196]

Answer:

B. Warming air expands, becomes less dense, and rises. As the air rises, it pushes cooler, more dense air down.

Explanation:

The options D and A can be eliminated because when a gas expands without gaining additional mass, it will become less dense; when a gas contracts without losing mass, it becomes more dense. Therefore, these two options conflict with the idea of density and cannot be true.

Option B is superior to Option C because convection currents are typically portrayed as beginning with the rise of warm air, which displaces/is replaced by cooler, dense air from the upper atmosphere. While Option C is similar, it describes the opposite series of events.
