How many codons equals 1 amino acid?

Biology
1 answer:
kondaur [170]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation: The nucleotide triplet that encodes an amino acid is called a codon. Each group of three nucleotides encodes one amino acid. Since there are 64 combinations of 4 nucleotides taken three at a time and only 20 amino acids, the code is degenerate (more than one codon per amino acid, in most cases)

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

C. Disruptive Selection

Explanation:

Disruptive selection occurs when two extremes of continuous variation are favored more than intermediate traits.  

The extremes of continuous variation exhibited in this species of snail is the color of their shell which allows them to blend with the background of their habitat.  

The shady forest of the habitat makes the dark-shelled individuals to be better hidden from bird predators, while the light-shelled individuals are better hidden in well-lit brushy edge areas. This disruptive coloration exhibited by both individuals makes both individuals of this species of snail less vulnerable to predation.  

Both individuals of this species both extremities would naturally survive in this habitat as snails with intermediate extremities would be highly preyed on since there is no area of intermediate brightness in the habitat to make them invisible to predators

WHICH STATEMENT IS the strongest evidence in support of endosymbiotic theory of eukaryote evolution
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Please see my answer below.

If you like my response you can mark it as brainliest.

If you have any doubts (no joke) you can reach out to me in the comments.

Explanation:

<em><u>The endosymbiotic theory states that some of the organelles in eukaryotic cells were once prokaryotic microbes. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are the same size as prokaryotic cells and divide by binary fission. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA which is circular, not linear.</u></em>

Leokris [45]
I would say the answer is either A or B, the Law of Consevation of Energy states that,"<span>the total energy of an isolated system remains constant</span>" so this energy isn't destroyed, it's simply useless. When we use energy to run, our energy is released as heat, so I would assume that it is the same for other creatures. Let me know if this helps.

Archy [21]

Answer:

The s-p value is a measure of the difference in time between the TIME OF ARRIVAL OF THE FIRST P WAVE and the FIRST S WAVE.

Explanation:

The s-p value is important in measuring the time in which the P and S wave arrives a seismic revising station from an earthquake.

The P and S wave are body waves, a class of seismic waves that travels through the interior of the Earth.

P wave travels faster than S waves.

P waves are involved in the forward and backward movement of matter.

S waves are involved in the side- to-side (perpendicular) movement of matter.
