Biology

Answer:

UUU and UUC

Explanation:

Information that encodes certain functional products called PROTEIN are present in the DNA molecule. However, the information needs to be expressed via the processes of transcription and translation. Transcription is the synthesis of a mRNA using a DNA template.

The mRNA then undergoes translation, where it is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON. Each CODON specifies a particular amino acid. Due to the degenerate nature of the genetic code, more than one codon can specify one amino acid.

Hence, in the case of phenylalanine amino acid, codons UUU and UUC both specify it. This means that whenever UUU and UUC are read during translation, a phenylalanine is added to the peptide chain.

<h2>Answer is option "C"</h2>

Explanation:

  • All in all, this procedure includes a "parent" cell parting into at least two "little girl" cells. Right now, parent cell can give its hereditary material from age to age.  
  • Meiosis, then again, is a particular type of cell division that happens in living beings that imitate explicitly. As referenced above, it produces regenerative cells, for example, sperm cells, egg cells, and spores in plants and parasites.  
  • In people, extraordinary cells called germ cells experience meiosis and at last offer ascent to sperm or eggs. Germ cells contain a total arrangement of 46 chromosomes (23 maternal chromosomes and 23 fatherly chromosomes). Before the finish of meiosis, the subsequent regenerative cells, or gametes, each have 23 hereditarily one of a kind chromosomes.
  • Hence, the right answer is option C "four strings, each a combination of different colors"
