why are unsaturated fatty acids the “good” fats to have in your diet? What is the importance of unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids and unsaturated omega-6 fatty acids in your diet? What percentage of your total fat intake should be unsaturated fatty acids? What kinds of foods contain a significant amount of unsaturated fatty acids? And is it possibly to consume too many unsaturated fatty acids in your diet, and if so what are some effects that the increased amounts of unsaturated fatty acids would have on your body, likes diseases or health conditions?

Select one:

a. Protein structure will be less diverse

b. Genetic code will be more redundant so more of the codons code for the same amino acids

c. Must have less nucleotides than we do

d. the genetic code will be less redundant so less codons code for the same amino acid

e. No statements can be expected from this life form
