It is actually a mis-sense mutation.
ATA on DNA is UAU on mRNA. This codon has the amino acid ‘Leu’
TAT on DNA is AUA on mRNA. This codon has the amino acid ‘Ile’
A silent mutation means that the amino acid is not changed. This is a missense mutation because the amino acid is changed but the snake is still able to produce venom.

vladimir1956 [14]

The correct answer is four base pairs.

BamHI is endonuclease meaning that it has the ability to cut DNA at specific target site. The recognition sequence of BamHI is 5'-GGATCC-3 and it cleaves it after the first G. Sticky ends are formed as a result of that cleavage remaining a four-base 5' overhang in one molecule and a complementary 5' overhang in the other. These ends are can be joined back together by an enzyme called ligase.

Which of the following does NOT describe the macronucleus of a paramecium?
ololo11 [35]
D. The macronucleus does not disintegrate during conjugation.

The macronucleus contains the working copies of genes needed to support an enormous cell. It is formed by a division of the fused diploid nucleus after conjugation followed by multiple rounds of internal gene replication which does not occurs in the micronucleus.

Which factors are responsible for high and low tides?
Vaselesa [24]
The following diagram shows how the moon causes tides on Earth: In this diagram, you can see that the moon's gravitational force pulls on water in the oceans so that there are "bulges" in the ocean on both sides of the planet. The moon pulls water toward it, and this causes the bulge toward the moon.
