* how do i find the codon and anti codon? :)

The way to find a codon is by arranging the sequence of nitrogenous bases of the mRNA in groups of three, the triplets. Once the codon is found, the anticodon corresponds to a complementary triplet to that codon.

Explanation:

Codon corresponds to a triplet of mRNA nitrogen bases encoding an amino acid. Anticodon is responsible for carrying amino acids to the ribosome, according to the information of the mRNA, and the sequence of its triple must be complementary to that of the codon mRNA.

If, for example, a codon of the mRNA is AUG, its anticodon of the tRNA must be UAC, that is, complementary. Then, for the indicated exercises:

Exercise 1:

Exercise 2:

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere   and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.   the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles.   three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.
