Answer:

64.

Explanation:

It is 64 because there are 20 amino acids with four bases ( A,T,C and G).

and genetic code can be read in triplets and also the four bases can occupy the positions. Eachh amino acid can be coded by the triplet codons. A triplet codon shows three nucleotides of the mRNA template that can code for amino acid

Therefore the number of codons is 4×4×4= 64.

_____ is the main provider of energy for the brain and nervous system.
defon
Glucose is the main provider of energy for the brain and the nervous system. Because the brain is so rich in nerve cells, or neurons, it is the most energy demanding organ, using one half of all the sugar energy in the body. Brain functions such as memory, thinking and learning are closely linked to glucose levels and how efficiently the brain uses this fuel source.
