Explanation:

Codons are three nucleotide bases encoding coding and amino acid or signal at the beginning or end of protein synthesis. In the genetic code, an amino acid is encoded by 3 nucleotides, while there are just 4 bases.A set of amino acids, 20 in total, build proteins from numerous configurations

∴ for 20 amino acids, and 4 nucleotides a minimum of 3 bases is required $N^{3}$ = $4^{3}$ = 64 possible codon arrangements

Given the degeneracy of the genetic code- the code contains more information that necessary multiple codons encode the same amino acid.

e.g.UUA and UUG encode the amino acid Leucine

Further Explanation:

The nucleic acids are comprised of smaller units called nucleotides and function as storage for the body’s genetic information. These monomers include ribonucleic acid (RNA) or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). They differ from other macromolecules since they don’t provide the body with energy. They exist solely to encode and protein synthesis.

Basic makeup: C, H, O, P; they contain phosphate group 5 carbon sugar does nitrogen bases which may contain single to double bond ring.

RNA codons determine certain amino acids so the order in which the bases occur within in the codon sequence designates which amino acid is to be made bus with the four RNA nucleotides (Adenine, Cysteine and Uracil) Up to 64 codons (with 3 as stop codons) determine amino acid synthesis. The stop codons ( UAG UGA UAA) terminate amino acid/ protein synthesis while the start codon AUG begins protein synthesis.

The wobble hypothesis states that the first two bases within a codon for an amino acid have an exact pairing with anticodons of tRNA. However, the pairing of the third bases may vary or wobble- thus a tRNA can recognise multiple codons. This explains how multiple codons can encode the same amino acid.

Which of the following is not common to both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell division?

julsineya [31]

The correct answer is: A checkpoint will be activated if the spindle does not attach to a kinetochore.

Prokaryotes, do not undergo mitosis (like eukaryotes) and therefore have no need for a mitotic spindle. Prokaryotes also don’ t have checkpoints foor the regulation of cell division.

Normal eukaryotic cells (unlike cancer cells), move through the cell cycle in a regulated way in order to make sure that cells don't divide under conditions that are unfavorable for them. Information about their own internal state (nutrients, signal molecules, DNA integrity) is signal to go or not to go through the cell division. Because of that there are few checkpoints in the cell cycle at which the cell examines the signals and makes a “decision”. The major checkpoints are:

• The G1- the first point at which it must choose, once it passes the G1 checkpoint the cell enters S phase

• The G2-the cell checks DNA integrity and checks if replication is done well.

• The spindle checkpoint-at the transition from metaphase to anaphase.
