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.

True or False?
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

False, since it takes more than one million years

Explanation:

Speeds can be faster for small-scale convection occurring in low-viscosity regions beneath the lithosphere, and slower in the lowermost mantle where viscosities are larger. A single shallow convection cycle takes on the order of 50 million years, though deeper convection can be closer to 200 million years.

This is a volume of space that is empty of matter. Example: Sound cannot travel here.
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Vacuum

Explanation:

A vacuum is usually defined as a space in which there is an absence of matter. It can also be said that there is an extremely low amount of pressure due to which the particles present in it are not affected by any type of process that occurs in space. The value of pressure is lower than the value of normal atmospheric pressure.

For example, sound cannot travel in space because there is no medium such as water and air through which the sound waves can propagate.
