Answer:

The codons that code for LEUCINE amino acid are:

1. UUA

2. UUG

3. CUU

4. CUC

5. CUA

6. CUG

Explanation:

A CODON is a group of three nucleotides in the mRNA molecule that specifies a particular amino acid. It represents a trio combination of nucleotides (A, G, C, U). There are about 64 possible codons formed from four nucleotides used in a combination of three's i.e 4³ = 64. All the codons collectively form the GENETIC CODE, which is used by all known living organisms.

However, since there are only 20 amino acids in nature and 64 possible codons, more than one codon encodes an amino acid. This means that the genetic code is DEGENERATE or REDUNDANT. Hence, in this case involving the amino acid: LEUCINE, the six (6) codons that specify it (depicted in the attached genetic code) are as follows:

- UUA

- UUG

- CUU

- CUC

- CUA

- CUG

When the relative humidity of the air is high, your sweat will evaporate _____________ leaving you to feel sticky and wet.
ella [17]

Answer:

VERY SLOWLY.

Explanation:

When he air we breathe is readily saturated with water, the sweat on your skin can't evaporate. This state of the body will leave you feeling sticky and warm, in as much as the body tries to cool down. High humidity in hot weather will only worsen your discomfort, as the moisture simply sits on your skin unable to evaporate.

In the effort to cool, our bodies must work even harder. This leaves our body to excessive sweating, depth of blood circulation, increased rate and also increased respiration.

Which condition is necessary for a mold fossil to form
Sindrei [870]
First, the organism needs to be buried quickly so the bones do not rot, sinking in tar, sand storm sinking in mud etc. Over time more sediment will cover the organism, preventing decay. Being buried quickly and preserved away from predators are one of the reasons why marine life fossils are much more common <span>the terrestrial animals as they are rarely preserved.</span>
