Answer:
An amino acid can be encoded by more than one codon.
Explanation:
Codons are triplets of nucleotides in mRNA that are used for the protein synthesis (translation). A codon specifies a single amino acid, but there are exceptions. tRNA molecule contain anticodons, triplets of nucleotides that are complementary to codons. So, during the translation, tRNA carries the amino acid, that corresponds to the codon in mRNA.
Degenerate genetic code (more than one codon can code for the same amino acid) is important, because when point mutation occurs it is possible that the amino acid remains unchanged.
<u>Answer</u>:
The organic chemicals that helps cell membranes to conserve the internal fluids are phospholipids.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Phospholipids are used to form plasma membrane of the cell. Plasma membrane surrounds the cell contents like various cell organelles, nucleus, ribosomes and proteins. A phospholipid molecules is made up if a polar head containing a phosphate group and the two non-polar tails made of long chains of hydrocarbon of fatty acids.
The another name for plasma membrane is phospholipid bilayer. The polar head is hydrophilic that interactes with polar environment while facing outside the bilayer while the non-polar tail is hydrophobic in nature which makes the internal hydrophobic region of cell membrane which faces inside the bilayer.
