I can’t help you with the first two questions, as I do not have a reference, but I can help you with the last two. Cystic fibrosis is a recessive trait. It is caused when specific sections of both copies of chromosome 8 are deleted, which in other words mean that it is not a sex-linked disorder because it isn’t inherited from the mother and father of the offspring.
No, all mutations are not bad. Only a small amount of mutations cause genetic disorder. Some in fact are good mutations. There is actually one mutation that is found roughly in 10% of Europeans which affects the CCR5 protein and it prevents HIV from entering the cell!
The correct answer is body type, cell type, cell structure, nutrition. Organisms are classified into six Kingdoms of life: Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. Organisms are placed into these categories based on similar or common characteristics.
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.
Proteins is made up of a sequence of an amion group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom and a side chain bonded to the centralcarbon atom.
