Granite is a type of intrusive igneous rock

Explanation:

An igneous rock formed from hot magma or lava cools, solidifies or crystallizes to form rocks.

Based on the rate of cooling of magma, igneous rocks can either be intrusive or extrusive.  

A slow cooling of the magma deep within the earth without reaching the surface of the volcano leads to the production of intrusive igneous rocks.

This slow cooling leads to crystallization forming large crystals visible to the eyes with a phaneritic texture.

Granite has the best phaneritic texture among intrusive igneous rocks. Granite crystals can be easily visualized and are constituted by minerals like white feldspar, black hornblende, translucent quartz, and platy black biotite.

Extrusive igneous rocks like basalt are formed from microscopic crystals from fast cooling of magma.

The sequence of the mRNA that would result from transcribing a DNA template strand with the bases TACGCTAAT would be AUGCGAUUA.

<h3>What is transcription?</h3>

Transcription is the first stage of gene expression in which mRNA sequence is produced from a DNA template.

During transcription, the following applies to the DNA molecule being transcribed:

  • Adenine base (A) is transcribed into Uracil (U)
  • Guanine base (G) is transcribed into Cytosine (C) and vice versa.
  • Thymine base (T) is transcribed into Adenine (A)

Therefore, the sequence of the mRNA that would result from transcribing a DNA template strand with the bases TACGCTAAT would be AUGCGAUUA.

The genetic code is redundant. What is meant by this statement?
storchak [24]

Answer:

This means that one amino acid can be coded by more that one codon.

Explanation:

A triplet code that code for an amino acid during translation is called genetic code. The genetic code is said to be redundant because a single amino acid can be coded by more that one triplet codon.  

So there can be synonymous codon for one amino acid. For example, leucine, serine, and arginine have 6 synonymous codons.

The genetic code is unambiguous also because each triplet codon can only code for a particular single amino acid. Genetic code is also universal which means the same code is used in all life forms.
