Serjik [45]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Degeneracy

Explanation:

  • There are 4 nucleotide  bases and they can form a lot of different codons -  about 64 different codons
  • There are only 20/21 amino acids, not enough for each of the codons

As a result, codons have to "double up" and share amino acids because there is only a limited number of these that they can code for

Anna11 [10]
<span>Since alkylating agents work to prevent the cell from replicating its genetic material, the cell would most likely stop at the interphase checkpoint, which is the phase before mitosis (which consists of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase). During interphase, the cell replicates its genetic material (DNA), but this would be prohibited by alkylating agents.</span>

How do you think humans might affect the environment? Check all that apply. by adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere by usin
OLEGan [10]
The correct answers are <span>by adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere by using natural resources, by polluting the land, water, and air, by creating landfills and by introducing invasive species to the environment.

Adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere 
contributes to the rise of the global temperature and climate change which leads to the rise in sea level, and extreme weather conditions. 

By polluting the land water and air and creating landfills humans are destroying not only the habitat of many plants, animals, and other organisms but also for themselves.
 
Overexploitation of the natural resources also leads to the destruction of habitat and collapse of ecosystems.

The introduction of invasive species often leads to disruption of the food chain of an ecosystem since the invasive species might be more efficient in this habitat and suppress the native organisms.
