What do we mean when we say that the genetic code is degenerate?A single codon can encode more than one amino acid.An amino acid

can be encoded by more than one codon.Codons are not always read correctly, resulting in the insertion of the wrong amino acid.A frameshift mutation usually results in abnormal protein.

Answer:

An amino acid can be encoded by more than one codon.

Explanation:

Codons are triplets of nucleotides in mRNA that are used for the protein synthesis (translation). A codon specifies a single amino acid, but there are exceptions. tRNA molecule contain anticodons, triplets of nucleotides that are complementary to codons. So, during the translation, tRNA carries the amino acid, that corresponds to the codon in mRNA.

Degenerate genetic code (more than one codon can code for the same amino acid) is important, because when point mutation occurs it is possible that the amino acid remains unchanged.

Assume that you are a national official with the power to set policy for controlling environmental mercury pollution (Core Case
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The policy for controlling environmental mercury pollution should address ways to prevent and control this pollution.  Policy:

  • Ban the incineration of waste
  • Require that coal-burning companies remove mercury from the coal
  • Allocate funds towards research and development for renewable energy resources in the hopes of switching away from coal.
  • Require that products containing mercury be labeled as such.
  • Set up programs that will recycle batteries and mercury-filled products.
  • Set up education programs that will help inform people about mercury pollution.

This policy works by addressing the ways to prevent and control mercury pollution.

Three problems that could result from implementing this policy:

  • Backlash from coal-burning companies.
  • It could take a while before we completely shift away from using coal.
  • Some of the programs that can be set up in this policy can be too expensive to set up and maintain.
