Answer:

B. insertion

Explanation:

It can be observed that nitrogenous bases were added to the codon sequence, this is a characteristic of gene insertion mutations.

Insertion is the addition of base pairs to the DNA sequence.

This type of mutation occurs very common when replicating the DNA intron regions where large repetitive sequences (microsatellite regions) are present.

Insertions may occur due to uneven crossings during meiosis.

<span>The correct answer is B. Insertion. In this particular insertion there is an insert of three bases. Complementary strands in DNA are the opposite strand, so Adenine is coupled to Thymine and Guanine is coupled to Cytosine. So the complementary sequence (also called the antisense strand) of the original would be GTC GGC ATC, there's an extra 3 bases in there: ACA.</span>

kati45 [8]

The correct answer is actually  

B) energy that flows from warmer objects to cooler objects.

because temperature is a measure of the average amount of energy possessed by an object due to the random motions of its particles.  Heat is the energy that flows from warmer objects to cooler objects. Heat cannot flow in the opposite direction.

Why are human populations not limited by the carrying capacity of their ecosystems?
exis [7]

Answer:

humans use their knowledge to locate resources.

Explanation:

The carrying capacity can be defined as the maximum number of individuals in a population of a species that an ecosystem or region can support on the basis of availability of water, food, habitat and other needs necessary for survival. Sometimes, the population of the species increases exponentially exceeding the carrying capacity of an ecosystem when the resources available are surplus.  

The human populations are not limited by the carrying capacity of their ecosystem this is because of the fact human beings possess special intellectual and thinking abilities which make them capable of availing themselves resources. They posses knowledge which allows them to search, and find resources even from the earth extreme locations not suitable for survival.
