Given: The mutation rate per nucleotide is 4 x 10^{-8}. There are 1500 nucleotides per locus.

To find: The mutation rate per locus for the locus of length 1500 nucleotides.

Method: Simple multiplication of the mutation rate per nucleotide with number of nucleotides per locus will give the answer

Solution:

The mutation rate per nucleotide = 4 \times 10^{-8}

The number of nucleotides per locus = 1500

The mutation rate per locus = mutation rate per nucleotide x number of nucleotide per locus = 4 \times 10^{-8} \times 1500 = 6 \times 10^{-5}.

if an unknown substance found on a meteorite contains no trace of carbon can scientist conclude that there is life at the meteor
MakcuM [25]

The scientists rely on the following cues to hypothesise and test for the presence of life on various extraterrestrial bodies:

1. Presence of water

2. Presence of hydrocarbons

3. Presence of carbon

4. Presence of salt pans  

The presence of hydrocarbons may indicate that there's anaerobic life thriving beneath the surface of the meteorite. The presence of traces of carbon may indicate that there was life once thriving on its surface ( which however is not possible in case of a meteorite because of its size). The absence of any of the above listed items will indicate that the surface of the meteorite is devoid of any life.

Comprehensive detail and links between structure and functions of animal cells and different tissue in animals
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Great relationship.

Explanation:

There is a great relationship between the structure and functions of animal cells because the structure of cells helps the cell to perform a particular function assign to it. The cells in epithelial tissue are tightly packed together with a very little intercellular matrix. intercellular matrix is a non-living material used to fill the spaces between the cell. Due to this structure, the epithelial tissue forms the covering of all body and helps in protecting the skin.

Vinvika [58]
Bacitracin blocks the transport of nag and nam across the cytoplasmic membrane to the cell wall. Like other antimicrobials that block cell wall synthesis, this would result in weak cell walls and cell lysis. Antimicrobilas that act by inhibiting cell wall synthesis include beta-lactams, vancomycin and cycloserine and isoniazid and ethambutol among others. They prevent bacteria from increasing amount of peptidoglycan, they have no effect on existing peptodoglycan layer and therefore are effective only for growing cells.
