Meiosis is important because it ensures that all organisms produced via sexual reproduction contain the correct number of chromosomes.
I think I understand even without the picture. I'll add a picture of the Punnett Square filled in, but what you're crossing is
Tt x tt (heterozygous crossed with a homozygous recessive)
The ratio you get in the end is 2 heterozygous (Tt) and 2 homozygous (tt) offspring, so the ratio is 1:1.
So the percentage of offspring that are homozygous recessive is 50%.
Hmm. This one’s simple. It’s definitely biodiversity, because if there are lots of organisms, people can fulfill their niches easily. Carbon dioxide and pollution just harms the organisms and salt water doesn’t do much good, except in ocean ecosystems. The answer is C: Biodiversity.
ATP/Energy —- why does this have to be at least 20 characters long lol.
Answer: B
WHY?
Deletion mutation may cause a shift of base sequence, causing the reading frames for base sequence to change during translation. This may affect the type of amino acid it the original base sequence codes for, resulting in a change in amino acid sequence in the polypeptide translated. Therefore, affecting the whole protein itself. There may be wrong amino acids that prevents vital bonds like disulfide bridges to form, resulting in a huge change in 3 dimensional conformation of the protein. A point mutation may result in a gene sequence being edited. However, only the target sequence is being mutated. The rest of the gene sequences are left untouched. Therefore, the impact is localised. This ensures that even though a few wrong amino acids may be in the polyleptide, most of the bonds that are crucial for the correct 3 dimensional conformation is still present, therefore, lesser defects will be resulted due to point mutation as compared to deletion mutation.
