Answer:

DNA: Three nucleotides encode an amino acid. Proteins are built from a basic set of 20 amino acids, but there are only four bases. Simple calculations show that a minimum of three bases is required to encode at least 20 amino acids.

RNA: You can think of the sequences of bases in the coding strand of DNA or in messenger RNA as coded instructions for building protein chains out of amino acids. There are 20 amino acids used in making proteins, but only four different bases to be used to code for them. Obviously one base can't code for one amino acid.

What alternative form of genes do nucleic acids have that allows them to offer variability?

inna [77]

The answer to the above question is alleles.

<h3>What are Alleles?</h3>

The two nucleic acids in living things that are employed for conveying and storing genetic information are RNA and DNA. The genetic material in living things is called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and it contains sections coding for beneficial proteins and products as well as carrying genetic information from one generation to the next. These chunks are referred to as genes.

However, genes also have a different form that is in charge of the genetic diversity in the qualities they are coding for. Allele refers to a gene's alternative or variant version. In a diploid creature like the human, each trait is encoded by genes that include contrasting pairs of alleles, allowing variation for that specific trait, i.e. two alleles for each gene. For instance, a gene with two alleles that codes for one of the human height traits includes the short variety (t) and the tall variety (T).

Write a paragraph describing a unicorn, what it looks like, and where it lives. Think of any inherited traits the species has th

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

A unicorn is a mythical creature that resembles a horse with a horn on its forehead. The unicorn could use its horn for self-defense. Some unicorns might also have wings so they could help the unicorn survive by escaping predators quickly. W could be for a winged unicorn (dominant) and w would be a unicorn without wings (recessive). L could be for a long unicorn horn, and l could be for a short horn. C would be a lighter fur color and c would be a darker fur color. That's all I could come up with for now :)
