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.
quantitative trait genes [QTGs], which carry allelic variations in the DNA that affect their expression and/or the structure of the product that they code for) that underlie QTL phenotypic effects and elucidation of their mechanisms of action is a crucial next step in the translation of such preclinical research.
