Answer:

Explanation:

The shape of DNA is a double helix, which is like a twisted ladder. The sides of the ladder are made of alternating sugar and phosphate molecules. Deoxyribose, which is a pentose, and a phosphate group are the two molecules that together form the two sides of the DNA. The rungs of the ladder are pairs of 4 types of nitrogen bases.

Who was responsible for "cracking the code" of DNA by establishing what amino acids are coded for by which codons, and when was
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The correct answer is- Nirenberg and Heinrich, 1961.

Explanation:

Experiments by Marshall Nirenberg and Heinrich Matthaei in 1961, began to decipher genetic codes and state about the 64 triplet codons in the genetic code by using mRNA from DNA to translate into specific amino acids in our biological system.

Their experiment helps to decode or crack the code of DNA by establishing the first codon out of 64 triplet codes which are  UUU codes for phenylalanine. In the future, the same approach is used to find other amino acids.

schepotkina [342]
Answer: Filtration

Blood that is going to be filtered enters the first part of the nephron, the glomerulus, which is a tuft of capillary vessels. The glomerulus is inside a "sac" called a glomerular capsule.Together, the glomerulus and the glomerular capsule form the renal corpuscle, which is the filtering unit.
