If a DNA sequence has 14 nucleotides what is the maximum number of amino acids that can be coded

Biology
1 answer:
navik [9.2K]3 years ago
3 0
The nucleotide triplet that encodes an amino acid is called a codon. Each group of three nucleotides encodes one amino acid. Since there are 64 combinations of 4 nucleotides taken three at a time and only 20 amino acids, the code is degenerate (more than one codon per amino acid, in most cases).

Which level of consumer has access to the smallest supply of energy?
Klio2033 [76]
The shorter the food chain, the larger amount of energy obtained. 
Hence, the consumer furthest away from the producer obtains the least energy. 
The quaternary consumer is furthest away. Most energy is lost by then. Hence, it has access to the smallest supply of energy.
