Answer:

TTC codon encodes for Phenylalanine (Phe)

Explanation:

A codon (also known as a nucleotide triplet) is a sequence of DNA or RNA composed of three consecutive nucleotides. During protein synthesis, each codon specifies a particular amino acid or stop signal (i.e., termination codons). There are 64 possible codons, 61 encode for amino acids, while three (3) codons represent stop signals (e.g., UAG, UAA, UGA). In this case, TTC (i.e., UUC codon in the mRNA) codon encodes the amino acid Phenylalanine, while TTA (i.e., UUA codon in the mRNA sequence) codon encodes the amino acid Leucine.

Do you think Peacocks would be in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium? Why or why not?
Slav-nsk [51]

Peacocks would not be in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

Explanation:

This can be justified by the mating patterns of the female peacocks. They do not choose their mates randomly but look out specifically for bright attractive plumage in their male partners and then select them.

Hardy-Weinberg's Equilibrium of evolution mechanism was based on facts like random mating, no natural selection,  mutation, absence of gene flow, and infinite population size.

They stated that organisms mate randomly with each other without any specific or a particular preference in the phenotypes of their opposite mates
