question 144

Essay

Taylor says that his examples show that "the relation expressed in the hypothetical 'I will move my finger if I want to' is, if the hypothetical is true at all, a logical relationship between concepts, resting only on a conventional equivalence of meaning, and as such cannot be a causal relationship between states or events." Do you agree with Taylor? Explain your answer.

Anticodon

Three nucleotides in a row create a genetic code unit within a transfer RNA molecule, matching a corresponding codon in messenger RNA.

mRNA Codons

Triplet sequences of nucleotides in messenger RNA that specify which amino acid will be added next during protein synthesis.
