Answer: 20 amino acids

Explanation:

The triplet nature of the genetic code make for a possible 64 codons: 61 code for amino acids present in most polypeptide chains while the remaining 3 are special-sense codons, since they only signal for the termination of the polypeptide chain.

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is E. Arachidonic acid is the raw material for synthesis of eicosanoids.

Explanation:

Arachidonic acid is an essential omega-6 fatty acid formed by a 20-carbon chain with four double bonds. The presence of double bonds causes this molecule to have several sites that can be oxidized, allowing the formation of different lipids with different biological activities.

Arachidonic acid is part of phospholipids in cell membranes, and is the precursor of eicosanoid biosynthesis. Arachidonic acid can be synthesized from linoleic acid, one of the essential fatty acids required by most mammals.
