Why are only four amino acids produced by 5 codons? I need this answer ASAP

Biology
1 answer:
Tom [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

My answer (that the information we have about codon structure is limited to the observations we can make now) is similar to the first part of your answer: that the number of amino acids that can be encoded is a function of codon length, in that both imply the (circular) argument that we must need more than 14 amino acids (plus a start and a stop, making 16) because we observe three nucleotide codons rather than two nucleotide codons. It would be nice to have a noncircular argumentf for why the minimum number of distinct amino acids is more than 14, but that is beyond my ability to construct

2. Break strand into condom (3 bases)
3. Use amino acid codon chart (above) to find the amino acid sequence. Continue until stop codon.

NEED HELP WITH THIS !!!!!! ASAP!!!!!
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Explanation: I'm pretty sure that wind power is a renewable resource. An advantage would be that we can use it to power many different things, and for the foreseeable future, it won't run out. A disadvantage would be that it some countries, they don't have access to wind power, because the country may not have the money to pay for anything to be installed in order to use it, or there may not be anywhere to put anything to generate wind power.

I'm not so sure about coal and hydroelectric power, though. Hope his helped you some!

When Mendel crossed the P
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

B. F1

Explanation:

Plants used in first-generation crosses were called P, or parental generation, plants (Figure 8.3). Mendel collected the seeds produced by the P plants that resulted from each cross and grew them the following season. These offspring were called the F1, or the first filial (filial = daughter or son), generation.

Soils are part of our natural capital and all terrestrial life depends on it. most mature soils have about how many soil horizon
lisabon 2012 [21]
I believe that most mature soils have three soil horizons. That is Horizon A, Horizon B, and Horizon C. Horizon A, also called the top soil contains a mixture of mineral matter and organic matter, as well as many insects, fungi, and microorganisms. Horizon B, also called the sub soil, contains fine clay particles washed out of horizon A. Horizon C contains partially weathered parent material.
