What is the importance of the base pairing in DNA?
A mismatched base would mean a mutation of the genetic code for the RNA strand. The wrong amino acid would be produced and then the wrong protein. This would result in a defect or maybe a disease or death depending on how many other normal cells are present.
Do hoola hoops help get rid of your love handles?
yes Funny you should ask this one. I was watching our Canadian news and this Chinese lady was using a hula hoop for a few months and not only lost inches, but weight! She used it every chance she got.
A dog is born with a certain color fur, eyes or skin due to the genes it inherits from it's parents, along with characteristics like size, temperament and longevity. To find out if a dog is show quality, you first need to have a pedigreed dog, with the paperwork to prove it. Then you can go to the AKC site, http://www.akc.org/, and look up the breed standard. This is a list of the characteristics that make a dog a good example of a particular breed or not. A chow, for example, should have a blue tongue. A Russian Wolf Hound should not. By looking up the breed standard for poodles you can find out if your dog fits the bill or not. Have fun.
Because of four different bases, there are 64 possible three-base codons (4x4x4=64). the genetic wheel shows all 64 possible codons of the genetic code.
