Want to know:
A transcription unit that is 8,000 nucleotides long may use 1,200 nucleotides to make a protein consisting of 400 amino acids. This is best explained by the fact thata.many noncoding nucleotides are present in mRNAb.there is redundancy and ambiguity in the genetic codec.many nucleotides are needed to code for each amino acidd.nucleotides break off and are lost during the transcription processe.there are termination exons near the beginning of mRNA

- What is the fundamental unit of heredity?
- like DNA, is a nucleic acid that consists of a long chain of nucleotides. RNA is different from DNA, as RNA has the nucleobase uracil (U) while DNA contains thymine (T). RNA contains the sugar ribose, while DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose.
