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.

1. What might cause an increase or decrease of carbon dioxide in a given location such as in the atmosphere or buried under grou
AVprozaik [17]

1. The carbon-dioxide increases in atmosphere by fossil-fuels, decaying-dead, automobiles etc. and when animals or plant die they get buried and carbon content increases under the ground.

2. Greenhouse gas are those gases which trap heat in the atmosphere and maintain the temperature of the earth.

3. Diamond and graphite are solid forms of carbon.

4. Dry ice is the carbon as liquid.

5. Autotrophs make simple sugar glucose via photosynthesis and this sugar is used by heterotrophs as a substrate for respiration in the presence of oxygen.

Explanation:

When the fuels from automobiles, fossil-fuel, dead decaying organism release carbon in the atmosphere, the increase in carbon dioxide is the cause of global warming.

Greenhouse gases absorb the infrared radiations from the earth's surface and reradiate it back to the atmosphere. In short greenhouse gases allow sun's rays to pass through and maintain the earth's temperature otherwise the earth will become too cold to sustain lives.

HELP!! Examine the model depicting the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Select ALL of the choices t
joja [24]

Answer:

water and oxygen

Explanation:

The model in the image depicts photosynthesis and cellular respiration processes. Photosynthesis involves the synthesis of glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water while cellular respiration involves the production of carbon dioxide and water from glucose and oxygen. This means that both reactions are opposite of one another.

According to the model, B is the product of cellular respiration in the mitochondrion used by photosynthesis while D is the product of photosynthesis in the chloroplast used by cellular respiration. B is likely water (H2O) while D is likely oxygen based on the provided options.
