Interpretation: The genetic code is also nearly universal, that it is same code in nearly universal, meaning that it is the same code in nearly all organisms (and in the few where it differs, it does so only slightly). If scientific ever find life on another planet, they will be curious to know its genetic code. What would a completely different genetic code identical to terrestrial life indicate. The genetic code is random, which means that a particular codon could have coded for different amino acid.
Concept Introduction:
Genetic code, the sequence of
An amino acid is an organic molecule that is made up of an acidic carboxyl group (−COOH), a basic amino group (−NH2) and an organic R group that is unique for to each amino acid.

- Draw the product of the following H action sequence. Ignore any inorganic byproducts formed. 1. (CH3CH2)2CuLi, THF 2. CH3Br Q Atoms, Bonds and Rings H Charges ㅁarrow_forwardPlease help me with this the problem is so confusingarrow_forward14 Question (1 point) Disiamylborane adds to a triple bond to give an alkenylborane. Upon oxidation with OH, H2O2, the alkenylborane will form an enol that tautomerizes to an aldehyde. In the first box below, draw the mechanism arrows for the reaction of disiamylborane with the alkyne, and in the last box draw the structure of the aldehyde. 4th attempt Feedback i > 3rd attempt OH, H2O2 i See Periodic Table See Hintarrow_forward

For drawing structure B, I know the correct answer is CH₃B₂, but when I try to type it in, it keeps giving me CH₄BH₃ instead. Do you know how I should write it properly?
