A gene mutation is a change in the sequence of nucleotides that occurs during cell replication (mitosis and meiosis)within a sin

gle coding section of DNA. Mistakes can also occur in the transcription of mRNA or the translation of a polypeptide. However these changes are not considered to be mutations because they are not permanent changes to the cell.True / False.

True

Changes in the transcription of mRNA or the translation of a polypeptide are not considered to be mutations because they are not permanent changes to the cell.

Explanation:

The half-life of mRNA and proteins is short. mRNA has an average of 10 hours of life span while proteins have an average of  several days. Therefore mutation in these biomolecules will only persist as long as this mutated mRNA of protein exists. After its life-span, the molecule is degraded and replaced by a non-mutated mRNA or proteins. This is because the piece of DNA that codes for the mRNA and subsequent protein is not mutated. A mutation on DNA is the permanent kind of mutations because DNA is a highly stable molecule that stores information about the cell.

Bipedalism in humans, when compared to knuckle walking in the African apes, represents what type of process or trait?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer: A. ancestral trait

Explanation:

Bipedalism can be define as a form of terrestrial locomotion, in which the organism moves with the help of two rear limbs or legs. Typical bipedal movements includes the hoping, running and walking. The evolution of the human bipedalism occurred in primates in about 4 million years ago with Sahelanthropus (oldest human ancestors or African Apes). The human ancestor Sahelanthropus led to the morphological alterations in the human skeleton including changes in the bones such as size of the bones of the foot, knee size, shape and orientation of the vertebral column, and leg length. All these changes contributed to the bipedalism.
