Answer:

it must be translated into the encoded protein. ... Each group of three nucleotides encodes one amino acid. ... Three is the minimum number of nucleotides per codon needed to encode 20 ... of the genetic code allows one to predict the amino acid sequence of any ... Not all base subsitutions alter the encoded amino acids.

The genetic code is the set of rules that defines how a nucleotide sequence in RNA is translated into an amino acid sequence in a protein. This code is common to all living beings (although there are small variations), which shows that it has had a unique origin and is universal, at least in the context of our planet.

A cross between a tall and short plant is made. All of the offspring are intermediate height plants. These intermediate plants a
likoan [24]

Answer:

Tall and short trees are genotypically homozygous for their trait

Intermediated trees are genotypically heterozygous for their trait.

Explanation:

Let the allele representing tall trait be "T"

and the allele representing short trait be "t"

It is given that when a  tall and short plant is fused all the offspring are of intermediate height.

This simply means that the both the plants are genotypically heterozygous for their traits

Genotype for tall tree - TT

Genotype for short tree - tt

TT * tt

Tt, Tt, Tt, Tt

All the offspring are of intermediate height.

Now these two plants of intermediate height are crossed

Tt * Tt

TT, Tt, Tt, tt

Out of four plants two are of intermediate height, one is of tall heingth and the remainig one is of short height

2. A lac repressor turns off the expression of the lac genes by (1 point)
Trava [24]

<em>C. Binding to the operator.</em>

Explanation:

When the repressor starts binding to the operator, it can not transcribe, or make mRNA. This makes it so the RNA polymerase can't go onto the promoter and bind to it, which is a crucial part in making mRNA. The operator functions by making sure the certain DNA gets made, so it is very important. The lac repressor will turn off the expression of the lac genes by binding to the operator.
