Answer:

The minimum number of nucleotides per codon necessary to specify all 20 amino acids that are found in proteins is <u>3</u>

Explanation:

There are four nucleic acids in the RNA, adenine uracil, guanine, cytosine. Each of them combines in groups of three to give the different amino acids. In total,  there are 64 different combinations of nucleic acids that codify the 20 amino acids that we need for our vital functions.

<span>Fossil fuels represent carbon storage areas. Carbon that is locked in these fossil fuels does not cycle through the Earth. When humans burn fossil fuels, the stored carbon is released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. The carbon is then free to cycle through the Earth and can upset the natural balance of the carbon available, changing the way that processes occur on Earth.</span>

Which one of the following statements does not accurately describe vibrations? 
brilliants [131]
The correct option is A.
When an end of a tuning fork that is vibrating is placed against a table, it produces a sounder that is dramatically louder than the original sound produced by the vibrating tuning fork. At this stage, the tuning fork is forcing the table to vibrate at its own frequency. Thus, the statement in option A is not true.
