The genetic code has many important characteristics. For example, a specific codon always means the same thing in a particular s

pecies. Codons mean the same thing in most species (even though there are some exceptions). In some cases, a particular amino acid can be specified by more than one codon (the genetic code is degenerate). Which of the following answers describes an example of the degenerate nature of the code?
AUU, AUC, and AUA all code for Ile
There are no pauses or commas in the code.
The sequence "AUGCCGAUU" is read as three codons, AUG, then CCG, then AUU.
AUU codes for Ile in a wide variety of species

Answer:

The correct answer is AUU, AUC and AUA all code for Ile.

Explanation:

A codon refers to an arrangement of three RNA or DNA nucleotides, which relates with a particular amino acid or stop signal at the time of the synthesis of protein. Each codon resembles to a single amino acid or stops signal, and the entire arrangement of codons is known as the genetic code.  

A codon is degenerative, which signifies that one amino acid may be implicit by more than one codon. Thus, it is correct that isoleucine can be implicit or specified by all the distinct AUU, AUA, and AUC codons.

True or false? Populations within ecosystems live in harmony and do not compete with each other.
Rainbow [258]
False in order for an ecosystem to survive there has to be some sort of competition. for example, if there were no sharks to eat little fish the little fish would over populate and then the little fish would run out of food which then means that whatever the little fish ate is now extinct and so on hinting the food chain's name. If it wasn't for competition nothing would survive

This membrane mimics the __________________ that is around animal cells. In order to explore how water moves in and out of a cel
Olenka [21]

This membrane mimics the plasma membrane that is around animal cells. In order to explore how water moves in and out of a cell, one cell was weighed and then submerged in hypertonic solution. The other egg was weighted and submerged in hypotonic solution. It was predicted that the egg submerged in hypertonic solution  would decrease in mass. It was predicted that the egg submerged in hypotonic solution would increase in mass.

Explanation:

The outermost covering of an animal cell is the plasma membrane. It is a selectively permeable membrane that allows only selective molecules to pass through it.

A solution having higher concentration of solute than the cell cytoplasm is called a hypertonic solution.

A solution having lower concentration of solute than the cell cytoplasm is called the  hypotonic solution.

The movement of water molecules from the region of its higher concentration to the region of its lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane is called osmosis.

A cell placed in hypertonic solution will undergo exosmosis so it will lose water and its mass will decrease.

A cell placed in hypotonic solution  will undergo endosmosis of water  so it will gain water and its mass will increase.
