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.

<h2>Answer and Explanation</h2>

DNA is called deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA is different in all plants and animals but according to the chemical structure, it is the same as double helix strand that is separated from each other. In a person body, all the DNA are the same but they are different if the cells, tissues, and organs are different. There are some mammals have slightly similar DNA that is humans have 99.6% same DNA as the chimpanzees.

If you are wanting to know what that is in English, the answer is 'How do I intentionally vomit?' If you want to know how to do that, I guess stick your finger down your throat.

When you eat a meal, food is digested and monomers like glucose are transported throughout your body. food is transformed and us

Alchen [17]

<span>Food molecules like lipids, proteins and polysaccharides are broken down enzymatically via digestion process, which occurs in our intestine cells (digestive system). Those large polymeric molecules are broken down into their monomer subunits—proteins into amino acids, polysaccharides into sugars, and fats into fatty acids and glycerol. Formed small organic molecules are now ready for the oxidation (a process that produces ATP and consumes O2) which occurs partly in the cytosol and in the mitochondrion. Oxidation processes include glycolysis and citric acid cycle which are differently required in different tissues. Nervous system (nerve cells) rely almost entirely on a constant supply of <span>glucose<span> from the bloodstream. In contrast, liver cells supply glucose to actively contracting muscle system which needs a lot of ATP energy.</span></span></span>

Folds exhibit which type of deformation? folds exhibit which type of deformation? elastic ductile tensional brittle

Mice21 [21]

Folds exhibit DUCTILE deformation. Folds are bent like pattern formed on the upper crust of the rocks. In simple words, folds are bend in rock strata. These are ductile deformation in the rock strata. These are results of compressional stresses on the rocks. Folds are of two types anticlines and synclines.
