Answer: The viral nucleic acid is most likely Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
Explanation:
Unlike ribonucleic acid (RNA) where uracil can be found, thymine alongside adenine, cytosine and guanine are only found in DNA.
Thus, the presence of 10% thymine in the newly discovered virus makes its analyzed nucleic acid to be deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
- rock salt and gypsum: evaporation- dolostone: chemical replacement- chert and iron-rich formations: precipitation
I think it is B I had done these.
My 2 cents below, I tried to think through the other ones:
A. Yes, because an amino acid change has occurred.
(A gene mutation occurred, not an amino acid change)
B. Yes, because all mutations change the resulting protein.
(Sounds correct. Gene -> mRNA -> protein)
C. No, because the amino acid sequence has not been changed.
(The gene mutation means the amino acid sequence <em>has</em> changed)
D. No, because mutations in the DNA do not affect the mRNA sequence.
(They do so)
