How might a gene mutation be silent, with no observable effect on a cell or an organism? A. Codons are complementary to anticodo

ns in tRNA. A gene mutation that changes a codon to its anticodon would have no observable effect on the cell or the organism. B. Many proteins are superfluous to the function of a cell. A gene mutation in a gene that encodes an unnecessary protein would have no observable effect on the cell or the organism. C. Several codons are stop codons. A gene mutation that inserts a stop codon when only a few amino acids remain in the peptide sequence would have no observable effect on the cell or the organism. D. Many amino acids are encoded by multiple codons. A gene mutation that encodes the same amino acid would have no observable effect on the cell or the organism.

Answer:

D. Many amino acids are encoded by multiple codons. A gene mutation that encodes the same amino acid would have no observable effect on the cell or the organism

Explanation:

If gene mutation does not change code (gene still encodes for the same amino acid), the same protein with its function will be produced. This is called synonymous mutation.

Silent mutations might also occur when  codon is altered to produce an amino acid with similar function as previous (e.g. leucine to isoleucine) so that the function of protein is not significantly changed.

Answer:

Change in food source.

Explanation:

If there is a change in food source, then the organism will have to adapt to that change. For example, with Darwin's Theory on the finches on the Galapagos Islands. There were many different varieties from different size to different beaks. This was because of changes on food sources and they adapted to obtain them more.

which of the following explains the most likely effect of this toxin on the light reactions of photosynthesis?
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Which of the following explains the most likely effect this toxin will have on the Calvin cycle? Carbon dioxide will not be converted into carbohydrates. The toxin inhibits RuBisCO from catalyzing the joining of carbon dioxide with RuBP. This prevents carbon fixation, so the Calvin cycle will not occur.
