The correct answer is C. 36

Explanation:

In genetics, a nucleotide refers to the basic units that form genetical material. On the other hand, a codon refers to a sequence of three nucleotides in the mRNA or messenger RNA which are a set of molecules that take genetical information from ADN to the ribosome of the cell. This implies in the case of a 12 mRNA codons there are 36 nucleotides as each of the codons contains three nucleotides which means by multiplying the number of codons by three (number of nucleotides) it is possible to know the total number of nucleotides in an RNA sequence or in this case 12 (codons) x 3 (nucleotides) = 36 nucleotides.

Punnett square are used to show possible combinations of alleles or to predict the probability of a trait occurring in offspring
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The correct answer would be Pp.

The genotype of one parent is PP. Thus, it will produce only one type of allele, that is, P.

Similarly, the genotype of another parent is pp. Thus, it will produce only one type of gamete, that is, p.

The cross would produce offspring with only one type of genotype, that is, heterozygous Pp.

The phenotype of all the offspring will be purple as it is a dominant trait.

cluponka [151]

Answer:

<em>condensation or dehydration synthesis</em>

Explanation:

A condensation reaction can be described as a reaction in which two molecules combine to form a larger molecule. A water molecule is usually dispersed during this reaction.

For example, two amino acids join to form a protein. The bond formed between them is known as dipeptide bond.

Dehydration synthesis is also a reaction in which molecules via covalent bonds to form larger molecules. As water molecule is released during this process, this reaction is termed as dehydration synthesis.
