Answer:

Mitosis produces two genetically identical cells, while meiosis produces four genetically different cells.

Explanation:

Mitosis and Meiosis are both kinds of cellular division that occurs in all living cells, however, they are used for different purposes. Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell. They are identical in the sense that they contain same alleles of the same genes as the parent cells. It is usually used for growth, repair or REPRODUCTION in asexually-reproducing organisms.

On the other hand, meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells with each having a reduced number of chromosomes as the parent cell (by half). It is employed by only sexually reproducing organisms to produce gametes. Meiosis occurs in a two-step division process resulting in 4 daughter cells. Meiosis increases genetic variation among species by producing gametes that are genetically different from the parent cell. This is achieved by a process called CROSSING-OVER, peculiar to meiosis, where chromosome segments are exchanged between homologous chromosomes (non-sister chromatids).

A frameshift mutation that occurs very early in a protein sequence would have what effect on the protein's structure? A. The pri
AlekseyPX

Answer:

C. Primary, secondary, and tertiary structures would be altered

Explanation:

Frameshift mutations refer to the mutations that change the reading frame of the gene. Frameshift mutations are mostly caused by insertion or deletion of nucleotide since addition or loss of nucleotide alters all the codons present downstream of the point of the mutation site. If frameshift mutation occurs at the beginning of the protein sequence, all the downstream amino acids would be altered.

The changed amino acid sequence would alter the primary structure of the protein. Since the secondary and tertiary structure of proteins is determined by interactions between the R groups of amino acids, their polarity, charge, etc., the altered amino acid sequence would also alter secondary, and tertiary of the protein.

Which best describes how scientists found the human gene that makes insulin?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
Scientists worked  backwards by looking into the amino acid sequence to determine the DNA base. They started with the mRNA which transcribes the codon into respective amino acids. This human gene is found on top of chromosome 11 in human DNA.
