Answer:
E. Each codon represents a different amino acid.
Explanation:
The genetic code refers to the set of rules guiding the translation of nucleotide bases in DNA or RNA into an amino acid sequence (proteins). The genetic code contains all the codons in the genome, which is a group of three nucleotide base (triplet-based). Each codon species a particular amino acid, however, more than one codon can code for a particular amino acid. This characteristics of the genetic code is called DEGENERACY.
The genetic code is said to be nearly universal because the same codon encodes the same amino acid in almost all living organisms with only few exceptions. The nonoverlapping nature of the genetic code refers to the fact the three bases of a codon are read independently from the bases of another codon i.e. codons do not overlap.
A codon represents one amino acid but more than one codon can represent the same amino acid. Hence, option E is untrue
Answer:
Mushrooms and plants all need energy to grow. But the sources of their energy differs.
Explanation:
Sun is the ultimate source of energy for any living organisms to grow and make their food. While plants takes energy from the sun directly and make their food, while the mushrooms which is not a plant does not take energy from the sun directly.
Mushrooms utilizes the energies which is collected by the different organism which collects their energy from the sun such as organisms like the bacteria and plants. Mushrooms grow well in darkness as darkness helps to retain moisture. Mushrooms does not have chlorophyll to make food.
Plants have chlorophyll. And they direct absorb energy from the sun light to make their own food.
Answer:
Following are the two types of living things that biologists could study:
1) Animals
2) Plants
Explanation:
As we know plants and animals are the most important organisms. Animals has further categories of living things are on land:
1) Birds
2) Mammals
3) Reptiles
4) Amphibians
Fishes are not included because they are in water but not on land.
The role of an enzyme is to B change the activation energy of the reaction. Specifically, they increase the general speed of all reactions and are made of proteins.
