Nucleotide-pair insertions or deletions happen in such a way that an extra base pair is added, or an existing pair is removed. 

Insertions happen when in a given sequence, another base pair is added resulting in a change in the sequence of amino acids produced. This renders the sequence useless because of the mutation. 

Deletions happen when one base pair has been removed and as a result of that, the sequencing process changes. 

Because there is a prescribed pattern for sequences, an insertion or deletion in a particular structure can alter the amino acids next in line for production resulting to complications.

Sketch and label a food-web that includes at least 6 different items. Make
astra-53 [7]

Answer and Explanation:

Example of a food-web:

(1) Algae --> (2) Protozoas --> (3) Krill --> (4) Cephallopods --> (5) Medium sized dolphin --> (6) Large Dolphin

The trophic web is the process of energy transference through a series of organisms, in which every organism feeds on the preceding one and becomes food for the next one.

1) The first link is an autotroph organism or producer, such as a vegetable, that can synthesize organic matter from inorganic matter. In this example, the autotroph organisms are algae, that make use of sunlight and inorganic matter.

The next links are the consumers:

2) Herbivores are primary consumers and feed on producers. In this example, herbivore organisms are protozoan.

3) Krills are the secondary consumers and feed on protozoans.

4) Some species of cephalopods feed on krill, among other species.

5) Specialized Cetaceans such as the Risso´s dolphin, feed especially on cephalopods, as they lack upper teeth and they only have a few teeth in their jaws.

6) The killer whale is a big sized-dolphin and a very important predator. It feeds on many animals, and one of them is the Risso´s dolphin.

11. Why<br> are<br> organisms with more similar amino acid sequences more closely related?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer and Explanation:

Because the DNA sequence determines a protein's amino acid sequence, a gene shared by two closely related organisms should have similar, or even identical, amino acid sequences. That's because closely related species most likely diverged from one another fairly recently in the evolutionary span. Thus, they haven't had as much time to accumulate random mutations in their genetic codes.
