scZoUnD [109]2 years ago

Answer:

true

Explanation:

Carbohydrates, like all organic molecules, always contain carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) atoms. Carbohydrate molecules are characterized by the presence of the atomic grouping H-C-OH, in which the ratio of hydrogen atoms (H) to oxygen atoms (O) is approximately 2:1. Because this ratio is the same as the ratio in water, the name “hydrates of carbon” seems appropriate. Carbohydrates first and foremost function for quick, short-term energy storage in all organisms, including humans.

Nana76 [90]

The right answer is 5.

To answer this question it is sufficient to take the same approach as the one that concluded that each amino acid is equivalent to 3 codons.

We have 17 amino acids, each of which must have at least one unique code (having two nucleotides A and T) .

it is enough to apply this time to count the number of possible codons to be generated according to the number of nucleotides:

nucleotide set ^ number of nucleotides = number of codons .

2 ^ 1 = 2 (<17)

2 ^ 2 = 4 (<17)

2 ^ 3 = 8 (<17)

2 ^ 4 = 16 (<17)

2 ^ 5 = 32 (> 17)

So, each amino acid has a codon of 5 nucleotides.

kirill [66]

Answer:

The correct option for the phenotypic ratio in this case is the following

9 : 6 : 1  

Explanation:

In order to calculate the ratio, divide the two larger numbers each by the smallest one - which here would be 17.

So, 147 ÷ 17 = 8.7 (rounded off to 9)

And 93 ÷ 17 = 5.6 (rounded off to 6)

This way, '17' is considered as 1. Hence,

Gold : silver : bronze

   9   :     6   :    1
