The genetic code is said to be degenerate, unambiguous, non-overlapping, without punctuation and is universal. Explain each aspect of this statement.

all organisms on Earth have one genetic code (except mitochondrias that probably changed it for some reasons). In fact, universal genetic code is fundamental evidence that all organisms (viruses, bacterias,...

Genetic code works the same in organisms of different levels of complexity - from viruses to humans (genetic engineering is based on this). So, viruses use a universal genetic code....

The advantage for this is that it although there may be a mutation in the codon, if the mutation changes the codon to another codon which codes for the same amino acid, this prevents...

Reproductive hormones are usually made in the ovaries (in females) and testes (in males). Female reproductive hormones include estrogen and progesterone. They help develop and maintain female sex characteristics and...

Cholera is an acute, diarrheal illness caused by infection of the intestine with the toxigenic bacterium Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1 or O139.

Genetic code is a nucleotide base sequence of DNA (and subsequently on mRNA by transcription) which will be translated into a sequence of amino acids of the protein to be...

During protein synthesis, tri-nucleotides or triplet codes or codons are paired by anticodons on the tRNA that on the opposite end bears a corresponding amino acid that is added to...

Protein helicase is responsible for breaking hydrogen bonds between polynucleotide pulling apart the two DNA strands.

Climate warming also increases evaporation on land, which can worsen drought and create conditions more prone to wildfire and a longer wildfire season. A warming atmosphere is also associated with...

they have smaller atoms by size and the nucleus exerts a greater pull on the outer electrons and hence can attract electrons to form octet configuration more easily in comparison...
