Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The phenomenon is best explained by the fact that the <u>genetic codes are degenerates</u>. In other words, more than one codon can specify for the same amino acid being carried by the tRNA.

<em>The base-pairing rule between the third nucleotide of a codon and that of the anticodon on the tRNAs loosens off. For example, GUU, GUC, and GUA all specify for the amino acid valine while GCU, GCC, and GCA all specify for alanine. </em>

What conditions cause cells to break down fat molecules?
Alexeev081 [22]
Well, think of it this way.

When you do not eat that much, your body fat lowers little by little, but considering that this is a question, I'd say starvation. Think of it as when you fast (Not eating all night say to go to a doctors appointment) your body stores the fatty acids to make ketone! The ketone will build a bloodstream that flows to the brain and other parts of the body!

To sum it up, starvation.

Farmers add nitrogen to their soil, in the form of fertilizers, in order to increase crop production. Which step in the nitrogen
Sloan [31]

Ans.

Nitrogen fertilizers are commonly used by farmers to increase crop production. Ammonium is the main component of nitrogen fertilizer, as it is easily assimilated by plants and provides nitrogen to them, while nitrate gets easily lost from the soil. During nitrogen cycle, ammonium is converted into nitrate by nitrification. So, nitrification inhibitors are used with to slow down the conversion of ammonium to nitrate to provide nitrogen for longer time.

Thus, 'to increase crop production, nitrification step of nitrogen cycle is preferred by farmers to block, or slow down.'
