Mutations can affect chromosome number or structure. Among these last ones, deletion and duplication affect affect the number of genes. Translocation and inversion affect gene sequences. A) Translocation B) Deletion C) Inversion D) Duplication.

<h3>What are chromosomic mutations?</h3>

DNA suffers different mutations and changes. These mutations might affect chromosomes by altering a gene sequence or a chromosomal fragment.

There are two types of chromosomal mutations which depend on the mutation type,

-  If the mutation affects the number of the chromosomes (haploidy, polyploidy, aneuploidy)

- If the mutation affects the chromosome structure.

Among the mutations that affect the structure of the chromosome, we can mention,

  • The ones affecting the number of genes

- Deletion ⇒ Occurs a loss of genes

- Duplication ⇒ The number of genes increases

  • The ones affecting the sequence of genes

- Inversion ⇒ genes order or sequence is inverted

- Translocation ⇒ genes are interchanged between chromosomes

In the exposed example,

A) Translocation    

There was an interchange of genes between the two involved chromosomes.

One of them started with genes ABC and the other one with genes DE. After the interchage one of them ended with genes AC and the other one with genes DBC.

B) Deletion

The chromosome lost the A gene, which was deleted from the original sequence.

C) Inversion

The original sequence in this chromosome was ABC, and after the inversion the gene order was CBA.

D) Duplication

The original sequence was ABC, and after the duplication event, genes A and B got duplicated and the new sequence was ABABC.

In the attached files you will have an image with further explanation.

Note: You should check if the chromosomal mutations are represented with the same letters I porposed here.

What characteristic of water causes water to stick to the side of a test tube?
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The characteristic of water that makes this liquid stick to the side of a test tube is called capillarity (Claim).

Explanation:

Water (H₂O) is a polar molecule with the ability to generate van der Waals forces, which is explained by the 4 hydrogen bonds it forms to bind to other substances. The consequence of the forces of the molecular bonds are four properties of H₂O, including surface tension, cohesion, adhesion and capillarity.

- <u>Claim</u>: The characteristic of water that makes this liquid stick to the side of a test tube is called capillarity.

- <u>Evidence</u>: Cohesion and adhesion of water are properties that come from the forces of the molecular bonds of water, and whose effect is the ability of water to wet surfaces and adhere to a tube that contains it, the latter due to capillarity. Capillarity also allows water to rise through the roots and stems of plants, through their thin vascular ducts.

- <u>Reasoning</u>: <u>cohesion</u> in water depends on the force of attraction between H₂O molecules, <u>adhesion</u> is the capacity of H₂O molecules to join other different molecules and —together with <u>surface tension</u>— make H₂O molecules close to the walls of a glass tube adhere to it, which represents capillarity.

The effect of capillarity is more evident when the test tube is of a smaller diameter, although capillarity and adhesion to its walls always exist, and to a greater degree than any other substance.
