Answer:
When a single amino acid is encoded by more than one codon.
Explanation:
Degeneracy is when a single amino acid is encoded by more than one codon. This pehonomenon was first described by Lagerkvist where there are more codons than amino acids that could be encoded.
Answer:
The excretory system helps the respiratory system by removing carbon dioxide that is produced during respiration (third option).
Explanation:
The lungs are in charge of the breathing process, being the main organ of the respiratory system. Each lung is considered an excretory organ —belonging to the excretory system— since it is capable of eliminating the carbon dioxide (CO₂) produced by the metabolism during expiration.
As a result of the gaseous exchange, the oxygen entering the lungs through the inhaled air passes into the blood, while the CO₂ is removed from the blood. This CO₂ is removed during expiration, which makes the lungs part of the excretory system.
The other options are not correct because:
- <em>The excretory system does </em><u><em>not introduce more oxygen into the lungs</em></u><em>.
</em>
- <em>The </em><u><em>circulation of blood in and out of the lungs</em></u><em> is a function of the circulatory system.
</em>
- <u><em>Urine is not produced by breathing</em></u><em>.</em>
Answer:
Commensalism only occur among biotic factors
Explanation:
Abiotic factors are non-living factors that interacts with the biotic factor within an ecosystem. Commensalism is an association between two organisms in which one benefits and the other derives neither benefit nor harm.
From the above definition of commensalism, it is clear to note that it only involves two organisms rather than non-living organisms, hence; commensalism involves only biotic factors
Answer:
The different possible genotypes are AA, AO, BB, BO, AB, and OO. These are derived according to the A, B and O blood group model.
The table is given below:
Blood Type Genotype
Blood Type A Genotypes AA or AO
Blood Type B Genotypes BB or BO
Blood Type AB Genotype AB
Blood Type O Genotype OO
The alleles A and B exhibit a greater dominance than O. This is the reason why the Parent of Blood type A will form the Genotype AO.

Pituitary gland is known as the master gland
