Question
which factor of the genetic code makes organisms different from one another? the number of base pairs the order of the codons the structure of the dna
Brief Explanations
- The number of base pairs: Different organisms can have varying amounts of base pairs in their DNA, but this is not the main factor that makes them different.
- The order of the codons: Codons are sequences of three nucleotides that code for specific amino acids. The order of codons in a gene determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein, which in turn determines the characteristics of an organism. Different orders of codons lead to different proteins and thus different organisms.
- The structure of the DNA: The basic structure of DNA (double - helix) is the same in all organisms.
