Answer:

Different transfer RNAs (tRNAs) selectively bind to N-terminal and internal AUG codons of bacterial polypeptides .

Explanation:

In prokaryotic organisms, N-formylmethionine (fMet) is coded by the start codon (AUG), thereby generating the most N-terminal residue of bacterial proteins. This residue (fMet) is a modified methionine amino acid that contains attached a formyl group to its amino group. Remarkably, it has been shown that formylmethionyl-tRNA only can bind to this initial AUG codon, while methionyl-tRNA binds to internal AUG codons.

Describe the path an egg from the ovary to the outside of the female body
Elis [28]
The ovaries produce the egg cells, called the ova or oocytes. The oocytes are then transported to the fallopian tube where fertilization by a sperm may occur. The fertilized egg then moves to the uterus, where the uterine lining has thickened in response to the normal hormones of the reproductive cycle.

VikaD [51]

The answer is aneuploidy. This is the result of a malfunction in the process of meiosis that produces gametes, in the male.  The is caused by a failure in non-disjunction hence an extra Y chromosome occurs in one of the formed gamete cells during anaphase II.
