Answer:

1. The most appropriate answer would be an option C.

A point mutation refers to the mutation or change that occurs at only one or a few nucleotides of the DNA.

Usually, a single nucleotide is substituted with the wrong nucleotide due to which only a single codon is affected.

However, it can cause frame shift mutation if insertion or deletion of nucleotide takes place.

In contrast, in chromosomal mutation long segment of DNA is involved. It may involve one or more genes. It mainly includes insertion, deletion, translocation, and inversion.

In addition, chromosomal mutation can cause change in the number or sets of chromosomes such as poliploidy, aneoploidy et cetera

2. The correct answer would be C. A point mutation

A point mutation refers to the mutation or change that occurs at only one or a few nucleotides of the DNA.

The plasma membrane are composed of specific types of phospholipids that are asymmetrically distributed between the two monolaye

kaheart [24]

Answer:

The statements that describe how the trans bilayer asymmetry in the lipid bilayer is achieved and maintained are listed below.

Explanation:

Phospholipids in the plasma membrane are anchored to a specific location in the plasma membrane via strong hydrophobic interactions with neighbouring lipids thus maintaining the asymmetrical distribution of lipids in the bilayer.

Specific phospholipids in the plasma membrane covalently attach to certain integral membrane proteins.These covalent interaction anchor the phospholipid to specific location in the plasma membrane and maintain the asymmetrical distribution of lipids in the bilayer.

Elodia [21]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. A property of the stem of a dicot plant is that the ground tissue is differentiated into pith and cortex. Vascular bundles are not arranged sporadically instead arranged in a ring. Also, cambium does exist between xylem and phloem.

The human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) that causes the disease known as aids selectively infects ________ cells.

Furkat [3]

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes the disease known as aids selectively infects helper T cells (CD4+).

This retrovirus also infects macrophages and dendritic cells. When CD4+ T cell numbers decrease below a critical level (due to the killing of this cells with different mechanisms), cell-mediated immunity is lost. As a result, the body becomes progressively more susceptible to infections, leading to the development of AIDS.

HIV can be transmitted only via body fluids like blood, semen, pre-seminal fluid, rectal fluids, vaginal fluids, and breast milk, which means that people usually get or transmit HIV through sexual behaviours and use of the needle. For HIV infection, these fluids must come in direct contact with a mucous membrane or damaged tissue. Another way is to be directly injected into the bloodstream (from a needle for example).

Write four different between parenchyma and collenchyma?

AveGali [126]

Answer:

The major distinction between parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma cells is that parenchyma cells are engaged in photosynthesis, storage, and secretion, whereas collenchyma cells support and transport nutrients, and sclerenchyma cells support, protect, and transport water.
