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.

Scientists want to determine how closely related chimpanzees are to humans. Which data would give the MOST accurate comparison?
ipn [44]

The correct answer is option B) their DNA sequences.

The best comparison for finding out the evolutionary relationship between two organism is the comparison of their DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) sequence. The organisms, which are more closely related to one another share more similarity in the DNA sequence as compared to the distantly related organism, so, the comparison of the DNA can help in determining the evolutionary relationship between the organism.

Molodets [167]

The correct answer is option (C) Gray rabbits would be eliminated by predators.

Camouflage is an adaptation by organisms allowing them to blend with the environment. This helps them in surviving or escaping from their predators. It can be throught coloration or developing a particular pattern or mimicry.

The example given above is a type of camouflage through concealing coloration. Concealing coloration includes having a fixed camouflage and changing the camouflage depending on the environment. Grey rabbits cannot exhibit camouflage as the backgroud is dark rocks and light stones. As a result, these rabbits are clearly visible to the predators and get elimiated by them.
