The amino acids coded by specific condons

Biology
1 answer:
svetoff [14.1K]2 years ago
6 0

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 hormone elevations indicate turner syndrome? select all that apply?
marusya05 [52]
Turner syndrome occurs among the females only because it has to do with the missing X chromosome. The effects of this syndrome is having a short height, ovary failure and heart defects. The female sex hormones, such as the estrogen and progesterone, are elevated.

How are alleles for the same gene related
Olenka [21]
Explained in greater detail, each gene resides at a specific locus (location on a chromosome) in two copies, one copy of the gene inherited from each parent. The copies, however, are not necessarily the same. When the copies of a gene differ from each other, they are known as alleles.

The first hominids to create sculptures, carvings, and paintings​
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

NeanderthalsThese artistic innovators were probably Neanderthals. Dated to 65,000 years ago, the cave paintings and shell beads are the first works of art dated to the time of Neanderthals, and they include the oldest cave art ever found

Explanation:

Which hominids created art? The first human artist on Earth is believed to have drew on a cave wall with red ochre over 65,000 years ago, as a Neanderthal reached out and drew on it. There is no evidence that the modern human is the only species to express itself through art, as is widely believed.

Are gender traits completley a result of societal expectatcions ?
Romashka [77]
Typically gender expression is heavily influenced by societal norms, but there are some traits that have been proven to be influenced my genetic makeup of males vs females. For example, girls tend to be drawn to more artistic expression because of the cone/rod ratio of their eyes, where as males have better perception of depth and speed, so they gravitate towards faster sports and race cars. Obviously this only has partial influence. Individuals have always ventured outside gender roles and norms. Some men express are in touch with their femininity and express it despite the stigma, and some women have more ‘male inclined’ personality traits. Of course, large political, philosophical, and religious movements have more impact, such as the feminist movement in the late 1960s-70s pushing females to act less in the traditional frame.
