Demosthenes had five triremes and their complements of soldiers as a garrison, and was reinforced by 40 hoplites from a Messenian ship that happened to stop at Pylos.
Individual codons code for specific amino acids. A gene is a sequence of nucleotides along a DNA strand-with 'start' and 'stop' codons and other regulatory elements-that specifies a sequence of amino acids that are linked together to form a protein.
Genes are made up of a chemical called Deoxyribonucleic aci (DNA). DNA in turn, consists of two long polymers of simple units called nucleotides, with backbones made of sugars â¦ and phosphate groups joined by ester bonds.
