UAG is also a stop codon. Wombats are also Australian marsupials. They are shortlegged, muscular quadrupeds, approximately 1 metre (40 in) in length with a short, stubby tail. Diphtheria is an acute infectious disease caused by the bacteria Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Cuscuta, or Dodder plant, is not a protozoan. It is a parasitic vine that wraps around other plants for nourishment.
