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.

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer: b - Chondroblasts within the cartilage divide and secrete new matrix

Explanation: Chondroblasts are derived from two sources; mesenchymal cells within the center of chondrification and chondrogenic cells of the inner cellular layer of the perichondrium (coverings that lie over most cartilage).

At the chondrification centers, the cartilage forming cells (Chondroblasts) begin to secrete the components of extracellular matrix of cartilage. As the amount of matrix increases, the Chondroblasts become separated from each other and they are located in small cavity within the matrix called lacunae.

Concurrently, the cells differentiate into matured cartilage cells called chondrocytes.

Genotype: 50% Aa and 50% aa

Phenotype: 50% Dimples and 50% no dimples

Explanation: Using a punnet square, we can figure out that the mother is recessive and the father is heterozygous. Putting the mother at the top of the square and the father on the side, you end up with the results above by crossing each square with the corresponding letters. It's okay if the letters end up backwards. Just be sure to face them the right direction, capitals being first once you finish.

Hope this helps!
