Answer:
In 1630 at the beginning of European settlement, about 425,000,000 hectares of the US were forested. By 2017, the area of forested land has declined to 300,000,000 hectares. What is the percent decrease of forested land between 1630 and 2017?
1630= 425000000
2017= 300000000
decrease= 125,000,000
percentage decrease= 125000000/425000000 x 100
percentage decrease= 29.41%

Explanation:
The genetic code is defined as the set of rules in which encoded information in genetic material such as DNA and RNA are translated into amino sequences or proteins by living cells.
Each genetic code is consist of three nucleotide base pair and codes for a specific amino acid.
Thus, The genetic code <em>CAA codes for Glutamine (amino acid), </em>represented as<em> "Gln" (three letter code ) or as "Q "(single letter code)</em>.
