Answer:
In the most general case of x bases and y bases per codon, the total number of possible codons is equal to xy .
In the case of the hypothetical Martian life-forms, is the minimum codon length needed to specify 17 amino acids is 5 (25 = 32), with some redundancy (meaning that more than one codon could code for the same amino acid). For life on Earth, x = 4 and y = 3; thus the number of codons is 43, or 64. Because there are only 20 amino acids, there is a lot of redundancy in the code (there are several codons for each amino acid).
Explanation:
<h2>Answer:</h2>
Option C is correct.
C. 5 kilocalories
<h2>Explanation:</h2>
Only a little amount of energy as 10% is transferred to the next trophic level. This is called 10% rule. So, in this case as the energy available at the secondary trophic level is 50 kilocalories and 10% of it is transferred into the tertiary level so it would be 5 kilocalories.
<span>If vinblastine prevents assembly of the spindle, then it interrupts cell division in Profase 1, when the assembly of the spindle begins. Paclitaxel prevents the depolymeritation of the spindle, so it will interrupt cell cycle in Anaphasis, when the dissasembly of spindle takes place.</span>
Answer: B. In hypoxic tissues, in contrast to normoxic tissues, ATP is additionally consumed to transform lactate to pyruvate
Explanation:
In hypoxic tissues such as new cancerous cells, the vascular system is still underdeveloped, thus oxygen supply is reduced. To meet energy need, additional glucose is needed to convert lactate (result of anaerobic glycolysis) to pyruvate which can then go into the TCA cycle to yield energy. This phenomenon is very common in muscle tissues during exercise.
