7 0

Answer:

4

Explanation:

Codons describe the triplet sequence of bases present in an mRNA that code for proteins. They do this by specifying specific amino acids.

To answer this question, we need to know the genetic code. This can be found in various formats (usually tables) online or in textbooks. An example is attached.

Threonine is an amino acid with the three letter code Thr, and the one letter code T.

As you can see in the table, 4 codons (ACU, ACC, ACA, ACG) code for threonine

Explanation:

Judging by the presence of limestone in the Ordovician rocks, we can conclude that the ancient Indiana was once being underwater.

The fossils found in a rock are very good indicators of the paleoclimatic conditions in an area.

Since we have an abundance of rich marine organisms, then the area must have been under a vast expanse of ocean water.

8_murik_8 [283]
It can replace, repair or be a new type of cell to benefit the host.


Cellular differentiation occurs throughout the cell development of a multi-cellular organism. It occurs when the cell changes from a simply zygote into a complex system of tissues and cell types. 

<span>Stems cells are cells which have the potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. Stem cells serve as internal repair system in many tissues. When stem cells divide while undergoing cell differentiation, it can either retain being a stem cell or become another type of cell like muscle cell, brain cell, or red blood cell.<span> </span></span>

Proteins are denatured by elevated temperatures. Why are some proteins unable to renature when cooled?
umka21 [38]

Answer: protein conformation has been destroyed due to heat

Explanation:

Proteins are made up of several polypeptide chains linked by hydrogen bonds, and peptide bonds among their amino acids subunits.

At elevated temperatures, the hydrogen and peptide bonds are cleaved resulting in change in conformation of the protein. At this point, cooling DOES NOT renature the protein, as its bonds have been broken.
