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)

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Transpiration.

Explanation:

Transpiration is the answer, because transpiration is a plant’s loss of water, mainly through the stomates of leaves. Stomatal openings are necessary to admit carbon dioxide to the leaf interior and to allow oxygen to escape during photosynthesis, hence transpiration is generally considered to be merely an unavoidable phenomenon that accompanies the real functions of the stomates.
