Ochre and amber are two types of nonsense mutations. before the genetic code was worked out, sydney brenner, anthony o. stretton, and samuel kaplan applied different types of mutagens to bacteriophages in an attempt to determine the bases present in the codons responsible for amber and ochre mutations. they knew that ochre and amber mutants were suppressed by different types of mutations, demonstrating that each is a different termination codon. they obtained the results. a single‑base substitution could convert an ochre mutation into an amber mutation. hydroxylamine induced both ochre and amber mutations from wild‑type phages. 2‑aminopurine caused ochre to mutate to amber. hydroxylamine did not cause ochre to mutate to amber. these data do not allow the complete nucleotide sequence of the amber and ochre codons to be worked out, but they do provide information about the bases found in the nonsense mutations. what conclusion about the bases in the codons of amber and ochre mutations can be made from these observations

Recent research by marine biologists suggests that bottlenose dolphins have names for themselves. scientists played sounds they had identified as the names of particular dolphins, putting them through a synthesizer so that they did not sound like the voices of particular dolphins. the researchers found that dolphins would respond to the names of other dolphins that they were related to or associated with, but they ignored the names of strangers. this discovery suggests a much greater degree of self-awareness in aquatic mammals than was previously suspected. if this research holds up, what does it suggest about dolphins?
