The statement "The insect vectors have six legs and include ticks, mosquitoes, and lice" is True.

Vectors are living organisms which can transfer infectious pathogens among humans and also from animals to humans.

Insect vectors include the bloodsucking insects, which take-in the disease-causing microorganisms (pathogens) during a blood meal from an infected host (human or animal) and transfer it to a new host afterwards.

Oftentimes, when a vector turns infectious, it is competent enough to transmit the pathogen for the rest of its life during every successive bite or blood meal.

Mosquitoes are vectors of Malaria, tick-borne encephalitis is transmitted by ticks whereas Typhus is transmitted by lice.

Imagine that a mutation in DNA produces a protein with a slightly different amino acid sequence. how would this mutation affect

Lynna [10]

Answer:

It would most likely render the protein nonfunctional or mis-functional.

The mutation could result in three outcomes:

Silent mutation, which changes the codon to the same amino acid. (AAA->AAG, both are lysine). But since the problem specified that it has a "slightly different amino acid sequence," we can assume this doesn't happen.
Nonsense mutation, which changes a codon to a stop codon. This would end the chain of amino acids, making the protein potentially nonfunctional.
Missense mutation, which changes a codon to another completely different codon. This can be harmful, as in sickle-cell disease, where just one amino acid, glutamic acid, is changed to valine.

Answer:

The results are useless

Explanation:

The alkaline/alkaline results could indicate that only the protein was utilized by the organism, but it could also be a result of prolonged incubation. The organisms could have exhausted that available sugar and then reverted to protein catabolism.
