The genetic code is directly related to polypeptides and proteins in the sense that genes are decoded to synthesize proteins.
What is the genetic code?
Genetic code is the set of rules by which the sequence of bases in DNA are translated into the amino acid sequence of proteins.
The genetic code is unique for living organisms and is used to synthesize the proteins that is responsible for various activities in living organisms.
The genes in the genetic code are first transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins (polypeptides).

Answer:not sure but i think b!
Explanation:
Answer: The most affected would be organs that have QUICKLY dividing cells (like the intestine and hair follicles).
Explanation:
Cancer cells are cells that divides uncontrollably giving rise to a mass of tissue called tumour. They grow faster than a normal cell in an uncoordinated manner, and continues to grow after the initial stimulus has ceased.
Paclitaxel is a drug that is approved for the treatment of cancer affecting different parts of the body. It's a microtubule-stabilizing drug whose mechanism of action is to induce mitotic arrest in the cancer cells.
Paclitaxel in its cause of action not only affect cancer cells but normal cells as well. To justify this statement, as stated earlier, the mechanism of action of paclitaxel is to induce mitotic arrest. Therefore the cells of organs where rapid mitosis occurs would be most affected. Skin cells, hair follicles and the cells lining our intestines (epithelial cells) all have high rates of mitosis as these tissues constantly need to be replaced.
