Answer:

Option). duplication.

Explanation:

Mutations are permanent changes in DNA, due to change in its nucleotide sequence. A mutation that occurs due to replication or duplication of a portion of genetic material is known as duplication.  

As altered sequence in given bacterium represents duplication of three guanine nucleotides, the type of mutation that caused this sequence change is duplication.

Original sequence: act<u>ggg</u>atcct

Altered sequence:  atcggggggatcct

Thus, the correct answer is 'duplication.'

Why is the weight of an object more on Earth than on the Moon?
MissTica

The correct answer is:

Gravitational pull is greater on earth . As weight = mass × g so we have more weights on earth than on moon.

Explanation:

This is because gravitational force is immediately proportional to the mass of an object. Greater the mass, greater will be the gravitational force exerted by it and thus, more will be our weight. As the moon has secondary mass than the earth, it has a lighter gravitational influence and hence, we weigh less on the moon.

Which of the following statements about the import of protein to the nucleus is correct? Choose all that apply.
dem82 [27]

The correct statements are:

•An NLS can be a monopartite or bipartite signal which includes a significant number of basic amino acids.

• The recycling of importins back to their original conformation requires GTP hydrolysis in the cytoplasm.

The other answers are incorrect because GTP is not required for an importin to bind to an NLS but for the release of importin and an NES or nuclear export signal  is the sequence  in a protein for export from the cell nucleus to the cytoplasm, not to the nucleolus.

If you eat a lot of food, will you gain weight? Explain why or why not.
natka813 [3]
The accurate answer to this is: it depends.

The type of food a person eats can affect him or her differently than another type of food. An additional factor is how active the person is.

For example, if a person does not exercise and eats McDonalds constantly, he/she is more susceptible to weight gain than a person who exercises often and eats healthy foods.In addition, the amount of calories a person eats and burns has an affect on the person's weight gain.

I hope this answers your question!
