Biology
1 answer:
alexandr402 [8]3 years ago
4 0

<u>Answer:</u>

Recent evidence suggest that feathers evolved from scales and suggest that 'feathers and pycnofibers' could be homologous.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • One of the major difficult issue related to bird evolution is the evolution of feathers.
  • Feathers are considered as the most 'complex integumentary structures' which are found in vertebrates.
  • Evolutionary developmental biology suggests that the 'planar scale structure' is been modified for developing into feathers by 'splitting' to form web like structures.
  • Scales and Feathers consist of 'two distinct form of keratin' so it was thought that 'each type was exclusive skin structure' but recent study suggests that they are developmental expressions of same skin structures.

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
Arada [10]

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.
