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.

2. Can the classification system change? If so, provide an example of a way it has changed in the past. (2 points)
Elis [28]

Yes, classification system is still evolving together with our knowledge.

But, before changing the name (e.g. of a species) it is important to collect and gather a wealth of information in order to support that change. Classification system is still evolving. The reasons for the changes are DNA analyzes. It is the new way for discovering relation between organisms and put them in the right context (classification used to be based on morphological characteristics).

Change in classification can be shown in an example of fungi. In the 90s fungi classification included only phyla Chytridiomycota and Zygomycota. Now theyhave been classified mainly on the basis of characteristics of their sexual reproductive structures. So, there are 7 phyla now: Microsporidia, Chytridiomycota, Blastocladiomycota, Neocallimastigomycota, Glomeromycota, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota

How do the circulatory and respiratory systems work together to get oxygen to the body cells?
svetoff [14.1K]
When we breathe, our respiratory system takes up oxygen and carbon dioxide or other useless gases go out . The oxygen combines with the haemoglobin in the blood of the circulatory system . This is transferred to all the cells of our body to get energy.

Control and experimental groups. They repeated their experiment several times and found the results were the same.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer: Experience 1 is the one that has the greatest reliability.

Explanation:    Because of this potential variation, biological experiments need to have a large sample size and preferably be repeated several times.  With more samples and repeating the experiment more often, the probability of arriving at a wrong conclusion due to random variation is diminished. As experience 1 has had several repetitions, it is the experience with a more reliable result.
