<span>Here are the choices: </span>
(a) deletion(b) inversion (c) duplication(d) insertion 
Answer: (d) insertion 
This mutation occurs when (an) additional nucleotide base pair/s attach themselves into an existing DNA strand. This can possibly result to diseases such as cystic fibrosis and myotonic dystrophy.

The involvement of ATP in the nitrogenase complex is because ATP is needed to: a. provide electrons. b. phosphorylate the enzyme
german

Answer:

c. break the N2 triple bond.  

Explanation:

In the general nitrogen reduction reaction (which occurs in the nitrogenase complex), ferredoxin acts as an electron donor to Fe-protein, which in turn hydrolyzes ATP and reduces MoFe-protein. By reducing MoFe-protein one can then reduce numerous (triple bonded) substrates although, under natural conditions, it reacts only to N2 and H +.

That is, ATP must be present in the reaction so that MoFe-protein can break the triple bond N2.

The binding and hydrolysis of ATP to Fe-protein causes a change in conformation of this protein which facilitates redox reactions. The enzymatic reduction of N2 by nitrogenase requires a large energy investment, although the exact changes in free energy are still unknown.

In the 19th century, Gregor Mendel performed a series of experiments on pea plants that led to the establishment of the field of
guajiro [1.7K]

This is a very easy paragraph analysis question. The answer is c. "Over time, scientific knowledge is reevaluated and extended through new scientific research." The reason why the answer is C., is because the chronological order of the study of genetics is as follows:

- Mendel does his pea plants experiments, but did not know how traits were passed to the offspring.

- Avery concludes that DNA is the "material" that passes on traits to the offspring, probably using Mendel's research and his own research (pneuonimia virus research) as well.

- Since the existence of DNA was published, Watson and Crick used it to identify an accurate model of the structure of DNA, using the four bases: cytosine, adenine, guanine, and thymine.

Overall, we see a trend of scientists publishing results based on what scientists did before.

What is at least one advantage of meosis
Misha Larkins [42]
Meiosis continually reshuffles the genes resulting in a great variety of offspring. Without meiosis we would all look exactly alike. Meiosis allows each offspring to be different, and so potentially better, than the parent. If a disease comes along, there is a good chance that some of the population won't get sick or die because everyone's DNA isn't exactly alike.
