1. <span> A. The algae directly feeds the large-mouth bass and wood duck. Consumers are the same thing as heterotrophs.
2. </span><span>The blue arrow points to an animal which gets all its energy from (i.e., eats) only other animals
3. </span><span>Primary consumers are the organisms which eat producers. So without the primary consumers eating the producers, the number of producers will probably increase.</span>
Natural Selection, Charles Darwin coined the term “survival of the fittest”
<span>Proteins are different based on number and type of ____________ contained in their polypeptide chain(s)
</span>Amino acids
Answer:
The importance of the AUG and UGA bases lies in the fact that the first one is a start codon and the second one is a stop codon, respectively (option a).
Explanation:
Codons or triplets are sequences of three nitrogenous bases, in the mRNA, that determine the synthesis of a specific amino acid.
- <em>AUG </em><em>is called the </em><em>initiation or start codon</em><em>, and is usually at the beginning of a peptide synthesis, in addition to encoding the amino acid methionine.
</em>
- <em>UGA</em><em> is a</em><em> termination or stop codon</em><em> found at the end of a petid chain when it is complete. UAA and UAG codons are also STOP or termination codons and, together with UGA, do not code for amino acids.</em>
The biological importance of start and stop codons is to initiate the synthesis of a protein and to stop the addition of amino acids when their size is adequate.
