Which process is directly responsible for the trails of a comet facing away from the sun

Biology
1 answer:
Anettt [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: The correct answer is D. Heating by the sun.

Comets are balls composed of dust and ice orbiting around the Sun in elliptical orbits. The orbit of the comet takes it near and far away from the sun. As the comets get closer to the Sun, the heat of the sun vaporizes the materials on the surface of the comet which forms a tail pointing away from the sun.

A comet tail is visible from Earth when they are illuminated by the Sun on approaching the inner Solar System. The solar radiations vaporize the volatile materials of the comet which streams out from the nucleus and carries dust away with it. The pressure due to the Sun’s radiation and solar winds leads to the formation of a tail pointing away from the Sun.

<h2>Point mutation.</h2>

Explanation:

  • The protein will be unchanged.

Mutation is defined as a change in nucleotide sequence of a gene. When a single nucleotide is inserted,deleted or substituted in a DNA sequence, then the resulting mutation is classified as point mutation.

A gene contains two region- intron region and exon region.

The region that codes for a particular protein is called the exon and the region that separates two exons  and does not code for any protein is called the intron.

Most of the point mutations in the intron region are silent except if it is located at the splice site recognition sequence.

In the given situation the mutation is in the middle of the intron region so there is no chance of it being a splice site recognition sequence.  Hence the protein will remain unchanged.
