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.

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer: Correct options are A, C and D

A. a forest because it has more trees to provide plant litter

C. a forest because it has more animals to mix the soil

D. a forest because the trees prevent rain from reaching the soil

Humus simply refers to organic matter, and the quantity of organic matter in a habitat depends on the extent of life activities done there.

Deserts, unlike forests have minimal life activities (as few plants and animals thrive in it). Thus, forests have more humus than deserts.

It's considered to be an advantage to have lungs with increased capacity, because with increased capacity
matrenka [14]
<span>Having more lung capacity is advantageous because the lungs can expand more. More air in the lungs will fill all the alveoli (air sacs in the lungs) and allow more oxygen to enter the bloodstream via the capillaries that surround the air sacs. Excess waste (such as carbon dioxide) is also transferred from the blood to the air to be exhaled. As lungs fill, more gas exchange can occur.</span>

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Binocular vision

Explanation:

Vision can be explained as an ability to see directly some things that can be a threat or of benefits . It can also be explained as the ability to sense or perceive threat or danger, or something good.

In this case, binoculars vision is a situation of sensing threats or dangers from a very distant place through the help of the brain. Most times, the brain will be able to sense dangers from the interpretation it gathered from what it saw earlier, before the person is involved in the act.
