Answer:

The importance of the AUG and UGA bases lies in the fact that the first one is a start codon and the second one is a stop codon, respectively (option a).

Explanation:

Codons or triplets are sequences of three nitrogenous bases, in the mRNA, that determine the synthesis of a specific amino acid.

  • <em>AUG </em><em>is called the </em><em>initiation or start codon</em><em>, and is usually at the beginning of a peptide synthesis, in addition to encoding the amino acid methionine. </em>
  • <em>UGA</em><em> is a</em><em> termination or stop codon</em><em> found at the end of a petid chain when it is complete.  UAA and UAG codons are also STOP or termination codons and, together with UGA, do not code for amino acids.</em>

The biological importance of start and stop codons is to initiate the synthesis of a protein and to stop the addition of amino acids when their size is adequate.

What r some adaptions that help animals who live in the Alpine biome survive​
neonofarm [45]

The animals that live in the Alpine biome have to have special adaptations to survive in it as this is a biome with very harsh conditions for big portion of the year. The temperatures are very low, the winds are strong, winter lasts for half a year or more, and there's lot of snow. All this has made the animals to develop certain traits to help them survive. Some of those adaptations are:

- thicker and longer fur for better isolation form the outside conditions

- wider paws with denser and tougher skin, helping them to move easier in the snow and avoid frostbite

- larger lungs and nostrils for easier breathing in the high altitudes

- stockier bodies so that heat can be preserved easier

- the ears and tails are small and rounded in order to avoid frost bite

- big portion of them are able to hibernate for several months

Primary Consumer (Squirrels)
Secondary Consumer (Raccoons)
Tertiary Consumer (Bear)


So squirrels would be at a lower trophic level.

Oxidation of lactic acid into pyruvic acid involves (1) coenzymes donating hydrogen atoms to lactic acid.(2) a gain of potential
vazorg [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 3. removal of hydrogen atoms from lactic acid.

Explanation:

In anaerobic conditions, it ferments to generate lactic acid. It is two way or reversible process in which oxidation of lactic acid produces pyruvic acid and NADH.

This process involves the removal of hydrogen atoms from the lactic acid and produces NADH and H⁺ in the presence of lactate dehydrogenase enzyme and convert into pyruvic acid.

Thus, the correct answer is option 3. removal of the hydrogen atoms from lactic acid.
