Answer:
The nucleotide triplet that encodes an amino acid is called a codon. Each group of three nucleotides encodes one amino acid. Since there are 64 combinations of 4 nucleotides taken three at a time and only 20 amino acids, the code is degenerate (more than one codon per amino acid, in most cases).
Answer:
RER
Explanation:
The proteins and lipids, essential for building the cell membrane, are
manufactured by the rough endoplasmic reticulum
Answer:
Eukaryotic cells are larger than prokaryotic cells and have a “true” nucleus, membrane-bound organelles, and rod-shaped chromosomes. The nucleus houses the cell's DNA and directs the synthesis of proteins and ribosomes.
Explanation:
Answer: 1). A and B are both dominant (because A and B are codominant to one another)
2). E. All of the above
Explanation:
1). From the image above, A and B are both dominant because they are equally expressed when they occur in a pair (when they occur as blood type AB), also they are dominant because each of them expressed itself when it occurs in a pair with a recessive allele (IAi and IBi).
2). The children of a father with A blood and a mother with B blood will have all the four blood types: A, B, AB, and O. If each parent has a recessive allele, that is if each parent is heterozygous for his/her blood type (IAi for the father and IBi for the mother), the cross between them will produce all the four possible blood types.

Answer: Water moved from inside the red blood cell into the salt water.
This is because of the osmotic difference between the salt solution and the red blood cell. This means that there is difference in the solute (salt) concentration inside the red blood cell and the salt solution.
Explanation: The salt concentration in the solution is higher than the salt concentration inside the red blood cell, that is, the red blood cell has more water concentration that the salt solution, therefore there will be movement of water from the inside of the red blood cell into the salt solution thereby causing the red blood cell to reduce in size. The movement of water from the red blood cell into the salt solution is to create a balance between the water concentration in the two environments, hence the movement of water from an area of high water concentration to an area of low solvent concentration across the selectively permeable membrane of the red blood cell.
