Answer:

Substitution, missense mutation

Explanation:

Mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can subsequently alter the genetic message.

Substitution mutations occurs when a base is replaced with another different base.

A good example is the one given in the question where the third A in the sequence ACAAAC is replaced by a T.

If this kind of mutation occurs in a protein-coding gene, it will be classified as a frameshift mutation.

Missense mutation is caused when there is a change in a single nucleotide that results to the coding of a different Amino acid

Answer:

Substitution mutation and missense mutation respectively.

Explanation:

Mutation is any heritable change of the base-pair sequence of genetic material.

Substitution mutation often affects only a single codon.

The question shows that ACAAAC. is changed to ..ACATAC ... We see that the 4th nucleotide A is changed to T. This shows the substitution that happened.

Their effect of substitution may not be serious except they affect an amino acid essential for the structure and function of the finished protein molecules an example is the sickle cell anaemia resulting from a missense mutation.

What are tomatoes? fruit vegetables flowers roots?
Zigmanuir [339]

The confusion about 'fruit' and 'vegetable' arises because of the differences in usage between scientists and cooks. Scientifically speaking, a tomato is definitely a fruit. True fruits are developed from the ovary in the base of the flower, and contain the seeds of the plant (though cultivated forms may be seedless). Blueberries, raspberries, and oranges are true fruits, and so are many kinds of nut. Some plants have a soft part which supports the seeds and is also called a 'fruit', though it is not developed from the ovary: the strawberry is an example.

As far as cooking is concerned, some things which are strictly fruits, such as tomatoes orbean pods, may be called 'vegetables' because they are used in savoury rather than sweet cooking. The term 'vegetable' is more generally used of other edible parts of plants, such as cabbage leaves, celery stalks, and potato tubers, which are not strictly the fruit of the plant from which they come. Occasionally the term 'fruit' may be used to refer to a part of a plant which is not a fruit, but which is used in sweet cooking: rhubarb, for example.

So, the answer to the question is that a tomato is technically the fruit of the tomato plant, but it's used as a vegetable in cooking.


Hope this helps :)

How are the equation for cellular respiration and photosynthesis related?
denpristay [2]
Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water
