Which substitution mutation has the potential to cause more damage?

Biology
1 answer:
VikaD [51]3 years ago
5 0
<span>A substitution is a type of mutation in which there is an exchange between two bases (for example, switching A for G). Changing a base can lead to a different codon, and consequently, a change in the protein produced.
Sometimes, the mutation can be silent, meaning that the substitution didn't change the codon or the protein.
However sometimes they may change to a  "stop" codon and  because of that the protein ends incomplete. If it affects an important protein it can completely change the organism.</span>

Why is hamburger, of all meat, particularly vulnerable to bacterial contamination such as that caused by E. coli?
My name is Ann [436]
When cattle are slaughtered and processed, E. coli bacteria in their intestines can get on the meat. Ground beef combines meat from many different animals, increasing the risk of contamination. E. coli bacteria on a cow's udder or on milking equipment can get into raw milk or runoff from cattle farms can contaminate fields where fresh produce is grown. Certain vegetables, such as spinach and lettuce, are particularly vulnerable to this type of contamination.

nlexa [21]

Answer:

50% medium tail and 50% short tail.

Explanation:

Let the allele that controls the tail length in cat be represented by T.

Cats with short tail length will have the genotype of tt.

Cats with long tail length will have the genotype of TT.

Since the trait exhibit incomplete dominance, cats with medium tail length will have the genotype of Tt.

A short tail cat (tt) is crossed with a medium tail cat (Tt).

tt   x   Tt = Tt, tt, Tt, and tt

<em>Recall that phenotypically, Tt = medium tail and tt = short tail. Hence, 1/2 or 50% of the offspring will have medium tails while the remaining 1/2 or 50% will have short tails.</em>

Hence, the possibilities are 50% medium and 50% short tail cats.

Which of the following pairs of elements would most likely form a salt?
PSYCHO15rus [73]
A salt is an ionic compound which needs a positive charge ion and a negative ion charge to form a salt.This means that the pair of element should be a metal and non-metal.This is simply because metal atoms tend to lose negative charge electrons and form positive ions while non-metals tend to receive the electrons from the metal atom to form negative charge ions.So answer is Cl and Li.
