Why is DNA referred to as the genetic code?​

Biology

Gnesinka [82]3 years ago
4 0

The genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material (DNA or RNA sequences) is translated into proteins (amino acid sequences) by living cells. Those genes that code for proteins are composed of tri-nucleotide units called codons, each coding for a single amino acid.

Which accurately describes gymnosperms? Check all that apply. Some of them lose their leaves in winter.Some of them lack seeds.S
AleksandrR [38]
I think that correct answers are:
<span>Some of them lose their leaves in winter. (i.e. <span><em>Larix</em></span>)</span>
<span>They include the tallest plants (i.e<em>.Sequoia)

</em>I don't think they are the oldest type of seed plants, since in the past the classes like progymnosperms and seed ferns existed prior to the gymnosperms. But question isn't absolutely clear to me and I can't be 100% sure.
All of the gymnosperms have seeds unless human grows some seedless variant.
Gymnosperms don't have flowers like angiosperms do, but some people think that cone is kind of flower.
Male cones produce pollen, not female.
Hope I helped :)
