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

does a cross bridge in a sarcomere of a fast fiber produce the same amount of forces as a cross bridge in a sarcomere of a slow
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Cross bridge in a sarcomere of a fast fiber produce higher amounts of force as compared to a cross bridge in a sarcomere of a slow fiber

Explanation:

When a muscle contracts, a cross bridge is formed between actin and myosin. The sarcomere shortens when a muscle contracts by reforming cross bridge. In general a muscle fiber is of three types – a) slow, b) Fast and c) intermediate.  

The sarcomere of fast fiber generates high force but for a short period of time. On the other hand, sarcomere of slow fiber generate lower amounts of force but this force lasts for a longer period of time. Due to this difference, fast fibers are the predominant fibers in the body
