Mutation is made once in every thousand nucleotides copied. 

Mutation creates different versions which have the same genes which are known as alleles.
They create variation in protein-coding. We put sunscreen to protect us from a mutation in somatic cells.

Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is 10 billion nucleotides.

Mutation can be defined as the permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of the genome. It can be caused due to error in the DNA replication or a DNA damage, which can be caused by several reasons like exposure to radiations.

A mutation is made once in every 10 billion nucleotides copied.

This is because the overall error rate of the enzyme DNA polymerase is 10⁻¹⁰ per base pairs. This means that there is a chance of one mutation in every 10 billion nucleotides that are replicated.

Alborosie

Answer:A. Water moves into the cell

Explanation:water moves into the cell through osmosis.during osmosis water moves from a region of low concentration of solute to a region of high concentration of solute.the glucose introduced into the cell makes it more concentrated.

In this case the cell is hypertonic and water would enter into the cell through the semi permeable membrane.this membrane allows water to pass through but not glucose.this movement of water into the cell causes the cell to become turgid.

Biologists use ball-and-stick models to study complex molecules by representing atoms with balls and bonds with sticks. DNA is a
Vitek1552 [10]
Most models can't incorporate all the details of complex natural phenomena. For example, when measuring distances around the Earth it's convenient to model the Earth as a sphere, but this doesn't incorporate variations in distance because of mountain ranges, valleys and other topological features the traveler must traverse. Incorporating these additional details would make the model too complex for easy use. Since models must be simple enough that you can use them to make predictions, they often leave out some of the details.

ALSO.

The conformation of molecules are based on probability. It fails to take into account the electronegativity of individual atoms. And it is ineffective in showing inorganic interactions with metals and such.

Impacts of fracking include
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

D is the answer

Explanation:

Hydraulic facturing, aka fracking, uses toxic chemicals above some regulations which may lead to a leak into water supplies and therefore contaminate it.

It has not much to do with coal, more to do with oil and natural gases

Because of fracking now making it accessible to reach sources in vast number that were previously unacessible, it leads to decreases in gas prices

Hope this helps :)
