If the genetic code used four bases as a code instead of three then <u>256 units could be encoded.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are 4 DNA bases that can make up the hereditary code. On the off chance that the codon for every amino corrosive was comprised of just 2 bases, just 16 unique codons would be conceivable.

<u>Given:</u>

1 Bases = 4 DNA bases

2 Bases = 4^2 = 16 DNA bases

3 Bases = 4^3 = 64 DNA bases

4 Bases = 4^4 = 256 DNA bases

Unmistakably this isn't sufficient. Be that as it may if every ha a codon made up of 3 bases (similar to the case) there are 64 potential blends which are all that could possibly be needed.

So for 4 bases, just 256 unique codons would be conceivable.

san4es73 [151]

Answer:b) Caenorhabditis

Explanation:

The C.elgans is a species of Caenorhabditis. It is a namatode which can be male or hermaphrodite. It lays 1000 of eggs which can be used for the purpose of research studies. These worms share common genes and molecular pathways like in humans.

Many of the genes present in C. elegans have functional counterparts as that of humans which makes them useful for determining the cause of human diseases. The mutant forms of genes of C.elegans can be used for screening the thousands of drugs. The genes have been used to determine the effects of ageing in humans, cancer, diabetes and other diseases.

Due to above reasons the C.elegans are considered as model organisms.

Drag each label to the correct category. Human activities that do not cause an imbalance in the water cycle and the carbon cycle
bogdanovich [222]
From the list provided the eco-friendly activities are recycling materials, growing trees, burying organic matter and using fewer disposables. Recycling materials ensures that less refuse is available to become trash. Planting trees prevents and remedies soil erosion. Using fewer disposables ensures that less refuse enters the environment. Filling landfills, cutting trees and burning fossil fuels are all non eco-friendly practices.

Answer:

contains more fluid

Explanation:

The fluid content of the dentin tubules varies by depth, with superficial dentin containing the lowest fluid content and deeper dentin, ie, dentin closest to the pulp, containing more fluid. The amount of collagen in dentin decreases from superficial to deep dentin.
