During DNA replication, several natural proofreading mechanisms are in place to prevent an error from occurring. However, errors

can occur occasionally. If the error is not fixed, it becomes a genetic mutation.
How can a mutation affect protein synthesis by a cell? Do you think there are different consequences if it happens in a gamete cell (sperm or egg) versus a non-gamete cell?

Answer: Genes are responsible for coding proteins, which are needed for all of our body functions and to build our body structures. So, a mutation could affect the way a protein is made. If the error occurs in the gamete cell, it could lead to a mutation in a growing fetus. Because all cells in the body form from two fertilized gametes, this mutation may exist in all the cells of the developing baby. If it occurs in another cell, a skin cell, for example, then the mutation would be confined to the cells in the skin tone.

Answer:

Pump-and-Treat is a primary technique for groundwater and soil remediation.

One strand in a segment of a gene has the base sequence TGCTTA. What would be the complementary sequence of nucleotides found on
yarga [219]

The complementary sequence of nucleotides found on the other strand of DNA is <u>ACGAAT</u> when one strand in a segment of a gene has the base sequence TGCTTA.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Deoxyribonucleic acid is the one which carries the genetic information from the parent to the offspring.  During DNA replication one strand of DNA replicates to produce another strand.        

The DNA molecule have a anti-parallel structure and the two strands run in opposite direction. If in one strand in a segment of a gene has the base sequence TGCTTA the complementary sequence of nucleotides found on the other strand of DNA will be ACGAAT.
