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.

Suppose you increase your walking speed from 6 m/s to 11 m/s in a period of 3 s. What is your acceleration? Answer and units
Alexandra [31]

Acceleration  of a body is defined as rate of chance in velocity with respect to time and its S.I. Units are meter/sec^{2}/ or m/s^{2}

Magnitude of average acceleration of a body = (final speed - initial speed)/time interval = (v- u)/t

where, final speed =v= 11 m/s; initial speed = u = 6 m/s; and time interval = t = 3 s

Hence acceleration = (11-6)/3 = 5/3 = 1.67 m/s^{2}

Which model of the universe did the ancient Greeks believe to be correct. This is for the subject of earth science
kow [346]

Answer:

The Greeks believed in the geocentric model of the universe.

According to this model, the Earth was present in the center whereas the Sun, moon, other planets etc revolved around it. According to Plato, the Earth was spherical in shape and it did not move. Greek philosophers, such as Aristotle and Plato, believed the Earth to be the center of the universe. All other heavenly bodies orbited around the Earth according to the Greek philosophers.
