How might a gene mutation be silent, with no observable affect on a cell or an organism?

Biology
1 answer:
dalvyx [7]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

D

Explanation:

There is approximately 64 base combination of codons (3 bases sequences) that are possible from the four bases nucleotides that make up our DNA. Yet there are only approximately 20 types of amino acids in our bodies. This means that other than the 4 start and stop codons, there is a lot of redundancy in the coding of amino acids by codons. Therefore some mutations on codons will have no effect on the type of amino acid translated. These are the silent mutations.

How do air masses interact to form a tomado?
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Most frequently, a tornado develops when a mass of cold, dry air crosses over a quantity of warm, moist air, creating huge storm clouds in the process.

<h3>How a tornado form?</h3>

The creation of a storm, which in turn promotes the development of a tornado, is what causes tornadoes, which are primarily continental phenomena, to originate. This happens when cold fronts move into areas where the air is warmer and more unstable.

These movements in this instance are caused by the convergence of hot and cold air currents, which results in a spinning area of pressure.

Frederick Griffith was one of the leading scientists looking at the genetic role of DNA. He was working on two strains of Strept
Misha Larkins [42]

The correct answer is: Even though the S strain had been heat-killed, it changed the R strain.

Griffith in his experiment used two strains of bacteria:

• The rough strain (R) which did not cause pneumonia, (nonvirulent)

• the smooth strain (S) which did caused pneumonia (virulent)

When Griffith heat-killed the S strain it did not caused mice to die.

But, when he gave both the heat-killed S strain and the R strain to mice, the mice developed pneumonia and died.

Griffith conclusion was that the R-strain bacteria took what he called a "transforming principle" from the heat-killed S bacteria which transformed the nonvirulent R strain.
