Which two codons in the mRNA represent the amino acid phenylalanine

Biology
1 answer:
Trava [24]3 years ago
8 0

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.

What is the idea of Continental Drift?
Tamiku [17]
Geologist Alfred Wegner noticed similar rocks & fossils remains were found on Continents which seemed to fit together. He called saw that it was the result of Continental drift and Pangea. Some evidence of the Drift was Rock evidence- Mountain ranges, Glacial scares, Location of coal deposits, ETC.. 

People couldn't image how the Earth could be millions of years ago. But the 1960's evidence would prove Continental Drift is TRUE and .. the story continues (as all good science!)

Continental drift means that continents move away from each other or separated.
