Answer:
An amino acid can be encoded by more than one codon.
Explanation:
Codons are triplets of nucleotides in mRNA that are used for the protein synthesis (translation). A codon specifies a single amino acid, but there are exceptions. tRNA molecule contain anticodons, triplets of nucleotides that are complementary to codons. So, during the translation, tRNA carries the amino acid, that corresponds to the codon in mRNA.
Degenerate genetic code (more than one codon can code for the same amino acid) is important, because when point mutation occurs it is possible that the amino acid remains unchanged.
I'm working on the assignment rn. But here are some clues to help you.
Answer:
B) 1/2 X 1/2 = 1/4
Explanation:
It happens when both the parents are heterozygous for the trait. The cross related to this result is shown as under:
Father Mother
Bb x Bb
/ \ / \
Gametes: B b B b
| | | |
Probability: 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2
The probability of formation of 'b' gamete from father is 1/2 because there are only two gametes 'B' and 'b' and out of these two one will be assorted as 'B' and another one as 'b' and from mother also the probability of formation of 'b' gamete is 1/2.
Now the assortment of gametes with each other is an independent event i.e. any gamete from father can fuse with any gamete of mother so the overall probability of formation of 'bb' genotype will be 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4.
Answer:
Ice cream isn't exactly a meal but when you go through the process of making it, it starts out as a liquid then becomes solid. Most people who've made ice cream as a kid have done the experiment with 2 Ziploc bags, kosher salt, heavy cream, vanilla, sugar, and milk. And of course the ice. You begin to get a solidified figure once you mix everything in the first bag then surround that bag with another bag filled with the ice and salt and shake. So this would count as physical change.
If you cook a steak it'd go through a chemical change. The proteins in the meat begin to break down due to the heat in a skillet, grill, pot, etc. This meat also goes through a physical change. The color changes and so does the texture. (Not that I've ever had raw meat. Bleh!)
Hope this helped!
