The genetic information contained in dna consists of a linear sequence of coding units, known as codons. each codon consists of three adjacent dna nucleotides that correspond to a single amino acid in a protein. the e. coli dna molecule contains 4.70×106 base pairs. determine the number of codons that can be present in this dna molecule

Which statement is not an accurate description of meiosis? a) meiosis produces offspring that are genetically diverse. b) meiosis produces offspring that are identical to the parent. c) in sexual reproduction half of the genetic material comes from the father (sperm) and half of the genetic material comes from the mother (egg). d) meiosis decreases the number of chromosomes by half so that when a sperm fertilizes an egg, the resulting zygote has the correct number of chromosomes.
