<em>Answer:</em>
- Organic compounds are those which are derivatives of hydrocarbons. They are classified into following functional groups.
<em>Alkane: </em>
- Alkane are simplest hydrocarbons.
- They have general formula CnH2n+2. These hydrocarbons contain single bond.
- For example ethane , H3C----CH3.
<em>Alkene:</em>
- Alkene are most reactive.
- They have general formula CnH2n.
- These contain double bond in their structure.
- For example , ethene, H2C=CH2
<em>Alkyne:</em>
- These are less less reactive as compare to alkenes.
- They have general formula CnH2n-2.
- They contain triple bonds in their structure.
- For example Acetylene HC≡CH
<em>Alcohol:</em>
Alcohol have functional group OH. They have general formual R---OH, R may be alkyl group.For example Ethanol H3CH2C---OH
<em>Amine:</em>
- Amine contain NH2 F.G.
- They have general formula R---NH2.
- There are three types of amine like primary, secondary and tertiary amine.
- For example H3CH2C---NH2
<em>Aldehyde:</em>
- Aldehydes have CHO F.G .
- They have general formula R--CHO.
- For example H3CH2C---CHO
<em>Ketone:</em>
- Ketones have R--CO--R functional group.
- For example acetone H3C---CO---CH3
<em>Carboxylic acid:</em>
- They functional group COOH.
- Their general formula is R---COOH.
- For example Acetic acid H3C---COOH
Answer:
I think you can predict it by the number of protons in it.
Explanation:
Any orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons with opposite spin. The first shell has one 1s orbital and holds 2 electrons. The second shell holds 8 electrons; 2 in a 2s orbital and 6 in three 2p orbitals. The third shell holds 18 electrons; 2 in a 3s orbital; 6 in three 3p orbitals; and 10 in five 3d orbitals.
Answer: Three nucleotides encode an amino acid, The code has no punctuation, The code is degenerate.
Explanation:The genetic code has four main features, they are;
1.)Three nucleotides/bases encode an amino acid, there are 20 different amino acids which are the building blocks for proteins.
2.)The genetic code is non-overlapping, for example a sequence UGGAUCGAU is read UGG AUC GAU rather than UGG GGA GAU etc.
3.)The code has no punctuation, so no base serves as a "comma" between groups of bases, therefore the code is read sequencially three bases at a time.
4.)The code is degenerate, meaning more than one codon encodes for the same amino acid. There are 64 possible triplets yet only 20 amino acids so most amino acids are encoded by 2 or more codons. Triplets that code for the same amino acid are known as synonyms.
Other features of the genetic code include;
(1) Code is a Triplet
(2)The Code is Comma Less
(3) The Code is Unambiguous
(4) The Code is Universal
(5) Co-linearity
(6) Gene-polypeptide Parity.
