Answer:

CAT - GGC - TAC mutates to CAT - GGC - TAG

Explanation:

Changes occur in the nucleotide sequence of the DNA molecule. These changes referred to as MUTATION are usually due mistakes during DNA replication or induced by mutagens (mutation-causing substances). Mutation can be of different types depending on the kind of change that occured to the nucleotide sequence. Based on this question, one of the mutation types is SUBSTITUTION MUTATION.

Substitution mutation is a kind of mutation in which one or more nucleotide base replaces another in the sequence.

The option that suits an example of substitution mutation is: CAT - GGC - TAC mutates to CAT - GGC - TAG because Guanine nucleotide replaces Cytosine nucleotide in the third CODON i.e. TAC becomes TAG.

an organism had 8 chromosomes in its body cells. how many chromosomes will be in the body cells of the offspring?
larisa [96]

Answer:

8

Explanation:

I am assuming that this organism reproduces sexually. The body cell of the offspring will be the same as the parent. The reproductive cell of the organism will have half the amount of chromosomes as the body cell.

So if the parent has 8 chromosomes in its body cells then the offspring will have 8 chromosomes in its body cells.

Plz help!!<br><br> List 3 ways that scientists and engineers develop, use, and refine models
julia-pushkina [17]
These are some ways how scientists and engineers develop, use and refine models.

1. Imagine. They have to know what exactly trying to model. They have to imagine and brainstorm what are the things to be considered.

2. Reason. Next, they need to answer the questions brought  from their brainstorming. They need to be able to reason out.

3. Calculate and Predict. Once they know it, that's the time they can start modelling and calculate - and predict.
