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).

How will the change in pH impact the functioning of cells? (Hint: Explain which biomolecules and what types of bonds in these bi
Effectus [21]

Answer:

A change in pH will cause many cellular processes to be disrupted because they affect the biomolecules (protein and nucleic acid) responsible for these processes.

Explanation:

pH refers to the degree of acidity or alkalinity. In a cell, the structures and processes that occur in them are impossible without the biomolecules, which are carbohydrate, protein, lipids and protein.

However, unfavorable conditions like a change in pH can cause the structure of some of these biomolecules to be affected. Proteins are made up of amino acids, which gives them their shape that is peculiar to their functioning. Also, nucleic acids such as DNA are composed of nucleotides responsible for their functioning.

A change in pH will cause the bonds of the protein to be disrupted, hence altering its shape and ultimately its functioning. Likewise, the hydrogen bonds in the DNA will be broken in the presence of a high pH causing the DNA to be dysfunctional.

When these biomolecules are affected, the vital functions that they perform in a cell, which is key to the cell's survival are disrupted) are likewise affected. Therefore, the cell is affected negatively.

What is a secure chemical landfill? A. a landfill in an area of nonporous bedrock B. a biological treatment plant for liquid was
natima [27]

The correct answer is option A, that is, a landfill in the region of nonporous bedrock.  

A permanent waste disposal facility where the wastes are put into the ground and covered with a layer of plastic, soil, or both is known a landfill. A secure chemical landfill refers to a landfill developed in the region of nonporous bedrock.

A secure chemical landfill is a prudently engineered depression in the ground or constructed on the top of the ground, signifying a football stadium into which wastes are dumped. The objective is to inhibit any water-related or hydraulic association between the surrounding environment and the wastes, mainly groundwater.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

1) Aa refers to the heterozygous of the genes. In this gene, both allele are different from one another.

2) AA is a gene which is homozygous in nature. Homozygous means that both allele are the same. Capital letters i. e. AA is used for the trait that is dominant.

3) aa is a gene which is homozygous in nature. Lower case letters i. e. aa is refer for the trait that is recessive.
