A mutation that involves one or a few nucleotides is called
a) mutagen
b) inversion
c) point mutation
d) translocation
Answer:
c) point mutation
Explanation:
When only one or a few nucleotides of a gene are changed by mutation, this is called a point mutation. A point mutation can add one additional nucleotide to the wild type gene or may delete or substitute a nucleotide from it. For example, if a wild type gene sequence is "ATATATATA", then the addition of "C" at the position 4 will change it into "ATACTATATA". This addition of new nucleotide is called point mutation since only one nucleotide is added to the gene. Point mutations can cause serious genetic disorders such as sickle cell anemia.
Mitosis only
OPTION A
Mitosis is simply the process of cell division.
Meiosis is the
process of producing gametes (eggs and sperm), which is important for sexual reproduction.
Meiosis is needed for sexual reproduction, here chromosome number is halved, it provides for mixing up of genes.
mitosis is needed for growth, repair, replacement, asexual reproduction.
it maintains same chromosome number
Because the majority of cell differentiation occurs during the EMBRYONIC phase, .................. The embryonic stage of pregnancy is the period after implantation during which all the important organs and structures in the growing fetus is formed. Tetratogens are factors that caused malformation of embryo. Exposure to tetratogens during embryonic stage cause most destructive damages.
