The genetic change causes alterations in only one or a few nucleotide bases in known as mutation.

A mutation is a change in a brief section of a genome's nucleotide sequence. Another frequently replaces one nucleotide in point mutations; other changes involve the insertion or deletion of one or more nucleotides.

Errors in DNA replication or the harmful effects of mutagens, such as chemicals and radiation, which react with DNA and alter the architecture of individual nucleotides, are the leading causes of mutations.

DNA repair enzymes are present in all cells and work to reduce the frequency of mutations. These enzymes reduce genetic information loss, double-strand break formation, and DNA crosslinking by repairing DNA damage.

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The solution of P. aeruginosa will yield higher Tm value.

Explanation:

The solution of P.aeruginosa contain 68% G+C composition as a result the DNA of P.aeruginosa is more stable than the DNA of mammal contain only 42% G+C composition.G+C composition is most stable because guanine is linked to cytosine by 3 hydrogen bonds whereas adenine linked to thymine by 2 hydrogen bonds.

   As  P.aeruginosa DNA is more stable than mammalian DNA,as a result the DNA solution of P.aeruginosa will yield high Tm(melting temperature) value than that of mammalian DNA.

What causes winter in the north hemisphere?
velikii [3]
Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
