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>

3. How does fluoroquinolone affect bacterial cells but not eukaryotic cells?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

In order to be useful in treating human infections, antibiotics must selectively target bacteria for eradication and not the cells of its human host. Indeed, modern antibiotics act either on processes that are unique to bacteria--such as the synthesis of cell walls or folic acid--or on bacterium-specific targets within processes that are common to both bacterium and human cells, including protein or DNA replication. Following are some examples.

Most bacteria produce a cell wall that is composed partly of a macromolecule called peptidoglycan, itself made up of amino sugars and short peptides. Human cells do not make or need peptidoglycan. Penicillin, one of the first antibiotics to be used widely, prevents the final cross-linking step, or transpeptidation, in assembly of this macromolecule. The result is a very fragile cell wall that bursts, killing the bacterium. No harm comes to the human host because penicillin does not inhibit any biochemical process that goes on within us.
