The addition of an extra nucleotide to a DNA sequence produces a mutation that is called insertion. An insertion mutation can be in various sizes, from one nucleotide base pair to a section of one chromosome inserted into another. When one or more nucleotides are inserted into the genome, the processes of translation and transcription could be disrupted, resulting in altered protein synthesis.

Which best describes chromosomal dilatation

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:Changes that affect the structure of chromosomes can cause problems with growth, development, and function of the body's systems. These changes can affect many genes along the chromosome and disrupt the proteins made from those genes.

Structural changes can occur during the formation of egg or sperm cells, in early fetal development, or in any cell after birth. Pieces of DNA can be rearranged within one chromosome or transferred between two or more chromosomes. The effects of structural changes depend on their size and location, whether gene function is interrupted, and whether any genetic material is gained or lost. Some changes cause health problems, while others may have no effect on a person's health.

Surface tension is an example of ?

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Surface tension depends mainly upon the forces of attraction between the particles within the given liquid and also upon the gas, solid, or liquid in contact with it. The molecules in a drop of water, for example, attract each other weakly.

Example:

a glass of water is sitting on a table put a paper clip in it. it stays floating on the top.

Water striders can walk on water because of the surface tension of water.

how is the expression of sex linked genes both similar to and different from the expression of autosomal genes?

svet-max [94.6K]

Sex chromosomes contain genes that determine the sex of a person. Two X chromosomes result in a female and one X plus a Y result in a male.

In those chromosomes, there are genes specific for each gender, and in those chromosomes, there are genes that code for certain traits- the sex-linked traits.
These traits will be inherited according to the sex chromosomes they receive from their parents. Women recieve one X from the mother and the other from the father while men recievethe X from the mother and the Y from the father).

This will cause a difference in the expression of genes because women can become carriers of a certain disease while men either manifest it or don't (there are no carriers since the X chromossome is different than the Y)

In autosomal genes, the expression doesn't depend on the gender since the autosomal chromosomes contain genes that code for the same trait, and so the expression on autosomal genes in men and women are similar.
