If you measure the width of a book with a ruler you are collecting DATA. Data is the facts and statistics collected together for analysis.
The carbon dioxide carried in the blood is actually combined with water and carried in the red blood cells in the form of carbonic acid, which has a dissociation constant:
H₂CO₃ ↔ H⁺ + CO₃⁻
When the pH of the blood decereases, the concentration of H⁺ ions in the blood becomes high. This causes the equilibrium to shift backwards, as per Le Chatelier's principle. The H⁺ ions are converted back to carbonic acid and the pH is increased. The opposite occurs when the pH is too high.
The genetic code defines how codons, sequences of nucleotide triplets, specify which amino acid will be added next during process of translation (protein synthesis).
The genetic code is universal among organisms. That means that the same codons code for the same amino acids in different organisms.
It is known which amino acids are coded by which codons. If we know sequences of amino acids, we then also know sequences of nucleotides in DNA/RNA. If we know DNA/RNA sequences we can then reveal relationships among different organism by compering similarities in those sequences.
A phobia is an intense fear of something that, in reality, poses little or no actual danger. Common phobias and fears include closed-in places, heights, highway driving, flying insects, snakes, and needles. However, you can develop phobias of virtually anything.

A Phobia is an irrational fear of something that's unlikely to cause harm. The word itself comes from the Greek word“phobos,” which means “fear” or “horror.” Hydrophobia, for example, literally translates to fear of water. When someone has a phobia, they experience intense fear of a certain object or situation.
