The correct answer is hydrolysis.
Hydrolysis refers to a chemical reaction in which water is utilized to dissociate the bonds of a specific substance. In practical terms, hydrolysis signifies the work of distinguishing chemicals when water is added.
Hydrolysis can also be considered as the reverse reaction to condensation that is the method in which two molecules merge to produce one bigger molecule.
<span>The correct answer is A) a single amino acid may have more than one codon that translates for it.</span>
<span>This property of the codon is called codon degeneracy and is the redundancy of the genetic code. As a result, there is the multiplicity of three-base-pair codon combinations that specify an amino acid and that increases tolerance to point mutations (synonymous mutations). Usually, the codons encoding one amino acid differ in the second or third position.</span>
Planet earth is the only known region of the universe to host life and so the basic criteria for life is based on observations made here. For an entity to be considered a living organism it must contain DNA or some other means of storing genetic information. The second criteria is that it must have some way of extracting nutrients from its surroundings. The organism must be able to respond to environmental stimulus and last but not least it must be able to reproduce.
A lot of DNA is structural and doesn't pertain to any genetics while it only takes a small change to change something big. DNA mainly uses 4 different chemicals to change itself, not giving a lot of variety. Most animals share around 98% of the same dna with each other. Humans share 50% of their DNA with a banana. Pretty much everything shares the same double helix design as well. So a lot of genetic code looks similar.
