the size of a Codon is 3 nucleotides.
The 20 amino acids are encoded by combinations of four nucleotides
If a codon were two nucleotides, the set of all combinations could only encode 16 amino acids.
since Codons are made up of three nucleotides, the set of all combinations can encode 64 amino acids. {i.e. 64 different combinations of four nucleotides taken three at a time.} But of the total of 64 codons, 61 encode amino acids and 3 specify termination of translation.
I hope this Helps!
The factors that determines the rate of diffusion in the biological system include: temperature, size of the particles, diffusion distance and concentration gradients. Of all these factors, the most important one is the TEMPERATURE.
The relationship between temperature and the rate of diffusion is a direct one, that is, the higher the temperature the higher the rate of diffusion and vice versa. At high temperature the molecules in the particles move faster because they have higher amount of energy.

Meiosis is for sexual reproduction and is meant to create diversity. Answers A/e involve identical-ness, so they are wrong.
Answer:
Karyotype
Explanation:
A karyotype is a picture of all the chromosomes in an individual. These images are analyzed by geneticists to identify structural changes in the chromosomes or to identify differences in number as is the case for Down syndrome.
Karyotyping is used to identify certain genetic diseases associated with chromosomal aberrations. This is associated with the field of cytogenetics.
Answer:
Mechanisms of enhanced transcapillary filtration in response to elevations in arterial or venous pressure. Elevations in arterial (Pa) or venous (Pv) pressure increase capillary pressure, which favors enhanced capillary filtration (Jv).
