Answer:

The correct answer is "stop codon"

Explanation:

Codon is a trinucleotide (three nucleotides) sequence that translates to a specific amino acid or stops the translation of genetic sequence to amino acids. There is a codon table that is usually used to determine the corresponding protein.

However, a sequence of DNA or RNA sequence will have 3 nucleotides (codons) each been translated to a specific amino acid. For example, the sequence below can be translated as follows

5' - UAUGGAUUUAGACACUAG -3'

UAU - Tyrosine

GGA -Glycine

UUU - Phenylalanine

AGA - Arginine

CAC - Histidine

UAG - stop codon

<u>The stop codon is a codon that doesn't code for any amino acid and signals the stop of protein synthesis/gene translation of a sequence</u>. There are three stop codons which are UAG, UGA and UAA.

Forests and other green plants uses carbon dioxide in photosynthesis thus lowering its amount in the atmosphere. In assumption, we can claim that in the ice ages, the low level temperatures may have caused the carbon dioxide levels to neutralize over these phenomenons, also to note that there were less oxygen-breathing organisms and higher carbon-dioxide dependent performing photosynthesis.

Answer:

erosion and I will copy and paste why if you need that too

In earth science, erosion is the action of surface processes (such as water flow or wind) that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transports it to another location (not to be confused with weathering which involves no movement). Hope you get it right good luck!
