The ghost ant is highly adaptable in its nesting habits. It nests readily outdoors or indoors. Colonies may be moderate to large in size containing numerous reproducing females (polygyny). Generally, the colonies occupy local sites that are too small or unstable to support entire large colonies.
A macron (/ËmÃ¦krÉn, ËmeÉª-/) is a diacritical mark, a straight bar (Â¯) placed above a letter, usually a vowel. Its name derives from the Greek Î¼Î±ÎºÏÏÎ½ (makrÃ³n), meaning long, and was originally used to mark long or heavy syllables in Greco-Roman metrics. It now more often marks a long vowel. In the International Phonetic Alphabet, the macron is used to indicate a mid-tone; the sign for a long vowel is instead a modified triangular colon â¨Ëâ©. The opposite is the breve â¨Ëâ©, which marks a short or light syllable or a short vowel.
A codon is a set of three nucleotides, a triplet that code for a certain amino acid. The first codon establishes the reading frame, whereby a new codon begins. A proteinâ²s amino acid backbone sequence is defined by contiguous triplets. Codons are key to translation of genetic information for the synthesis of proteins. codon is a set of three nucleotides, a triplet that code for a certain amino acid.
