Sickel cell anemia is an inherited disease that is due to a base substitution mutation in a gene.
Oort cloud: a spherical region that surrounds the solar system, that extends from the kuiper belt to almost halfway to the nearest star, and that contains billions of comets
Answer:
D) the arrangement of the nucleotides within genes
Explanation:
De-oxy ribo nucleic acid that is basically a polymer of nucleotides. Nucleotides are composed of three basic units: a de-oxyribose sugar unit, a phosphate group and nitrogenous bases that can be Adenine, Gunanine, Thymine and Cytosine.Adenine always pairs with Thymine and Guanine always pairs with Cytosine.
This is a universal composition of DNA in each and every living organism. The genes are a segment of DNA that contain specific sequence of nucleotides and encode for a specific trait of organism such as height, weight, eye color etc. The sequence of nucleotides expresses the trait in the form of protein product during the process of Translation. The products of translation are amino acids and every amino acids encode for a specific protein in almost all living organisms.
So, what differs in the specie is the sequence of nucleotides in genes. Infact this is the nucleotide sequence which brings evolution in organism and organisms evolve to form new specie with the passage of time. One major cause of change in nucleotide sequence is mutations due to which the organisms change with time.
Suppose the sequence of nucleotide of specific gene in organism A is
AAGGGGAAATTT
However in other specie organism B of same specie is:
TAGGGGAAATTT
This means only mutation of one base changed the gene in organism B and also its product called protein.
Hope it help!
Answer:
Re-producing sexually will allow the sea anemones to give their offspring a more diverse gene pool and can mitigate the risks of a genetic disorder being spread to the offspring because the bad gene has a higher chance become recessive if the gene of the anemone it mates with is more dominant (meaning it wouldn't allow the "bad" gene to show in the offspring) whereas otherwise, the offspring would have the same issues the mother did (assuming it had a bad gene to begin with).
The three examples of stimulus include;
1. Hit the skin with a needle or pin is a good example of stimulus. The sudden removing of the hand is the response.
2. When somebody bangs a door you jump if you were unaware because of the sound. The jumping is the response to a stimulus.
3. Holding a hot plate we fling hand away from it. The stimulus here is holding the plate while removal of the hand is the response.
Stimulus is the change or cause in an organism's surrounding which causes the organisms to react.
