The common characteristic of those two organisms is hard spherical shells (exoskeleton).

Foraminiferans are single cell marine eukaryotes divided into granular endoplasm and transparent ectoplasm. Foraminiferans are enveloped with tests, hard shells, usually composed of calcium carbonate (sometimes from organic compounds or silica).

Coccolithophore is a unicellular, eukaryotic alga with special calcium carbonate plates (or scales) of uncertain function (coccoliths). Each unicellular alga is enclosed in its own collection of coccoliths, the which make up its exoskeleton- coccosphere.

The other answer is correct, but more specifically:

D. They both develop calcium carbonate structures.

The addition of calcium carbonate makes exoskeletons harder/stronger.

This is an animation of gel electrophoresis. which of these dna molecules is the shortest?

STALIN [3.7K]

In electrophoresis, the molecules travel between the positive electrode and the negative electrode carried by the current that is generated between them.
As seen in the image below, short fragments, due to their smaller size can travel faster than the longer fragments, so the fragments that have traveled the furthermost are the shortest. (marked E in the image)

Explain what frame shift means and is it more or less likely to cause a noticeable mutation than a substitution

harina [27]

Answer:

A frameshift mutation can be described as a genetic mutation in which a single nucleotide or more than one nucleotide is inserted or deleted from the sequence of the DNA. As the gene expresses itself in the form of triplets of a genetic code, insertion or deletion can cause devastating changes in the genetic code due to which wrong proteins will be synthesized.

Frameshift mutations can be more noticeable than the substitution mutation. In a substitution mutation, only one of the nucleotides is shifted with another. The entire genetic code is not affected by it.
