What might be an advantage of having more than one codon for the same amino acid?

The extra codons mean the code is more resilient- small errors can still result in the same protein being produced. The other advantage is that in some cases, a single strand of genetic material might code for more than one protein or enzyme, depending on how it is read. This means that one method of reading will produce the same output, but the second or third method of reading (starting from a different place on the strand) can produce other, entirely different materials. This concept is like a palimpsest.

Through "cellular respiration" process energy is stored in the form of glucose.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The series of metabolic reactions and mechanism take place in organism ranging from microscopic bacteria to large organisms cells in order to transfer biochemical energy from food nutrients (stored in glucose form which is transferred) to adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and then waste product is also released, the whole process is known as "cellular respiration".

The energy required for ATP synthesis extracted from the breakdown of foods and phosphocreatine (creatine phosphate). It is stored inside muscle cells because phosphocreatine is readily available to produce ATP quickly.

It is forensic anthropoligy pls help this is due tomorrow

sasho [114]

I’m sorry I do not know what the answer is. Are you in forensic science? I’m making my 4 year plan, and I put that as one of science classes. If you are in that high school class can you provide any details on that class. If you know the answer to their question and the second spot is full, please comment under my question for them.

Prostaglandins: A. stimulate smooth muscle contraction. B. have four-membered rings and are derived from arachidonic acid. C. ar

nevsk [136]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A, that is, stimulate smooth muscle contraction.

Explanation:

A group of lipids and a hormone that plays an essential role in monitoring the process of the formation of blood clots, stimulation of labor, the flow of blood and inflammation is known as prostaglandins. The hormone prostaglandin takes part in various kinds of body functions like the relaxation and contraction of the smooth muscles at the time of childbirth, monitoring blood pressure, dilation and constriction of blood vessels, and produce inflammation at the site of infection or tissue damage.

Prostaglandins possess five-membered rings and are obtained from the fatty acid, arachidonic acid. At the time of blood vessel injury, thromboxane, that is, a form of prostaglandin enhances the process of blood clot formation so that the injury site gets heal quickly.

Whats the difference between genotype and phenotype.

Olegator [25]

$\huge{\green}\fcolorbox{blue}{cyan}{\bf{\underline{\red{\color{red}Answer}}}}$

The genotype is a set of genes in the DNA which are responsible for the unique trait or characteristics.
Whereas the phenotype is the physical appearance or characteristic of the organism.
Thus, we can find the human genetic code with the help of their genotype.
Organisms may look the same but still may not have the same genotype.
One can determine the genotype by the biological tests.
On the other hand, the phenotype is determined by an individual’s genotype and can be expressed as genes or by the visible traits.
Such traits are hair color or type, eye color body shape, and height, and many such more.
It will depend on the genotype but also influenced by the factors existing in the surrounding.
