The correct statement is D. APICAL MERISTEMS ARE SOMETIMES CHANGED INTO FLORAL MERISTEMS.
Apical Meristems are found in the tips of the roots and in the buds of the shoots. They supply cells for the plants to grow in length.
Apical Meristems are found in herbaceous plants, woody plants, grasses, and flowering plants.
In flowering plants, shoot apical meristem develops into an inflorescence meristem which produces the floral meristem. The floral meristem is responsible for the production of the sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels of the flower.
No, because everyone has different DNA and genetics.
Chloroplasts:<span> organelles found in plant cells and eukaryotic algae that help photosynthesis.</span>
What does the problem says
Answer:
The type of mutation responsible for changing a base in the mRNA strand, without changing the coding aminoacid or protein, is called a <u>silent</u> mutation.
Explanation:
In a silent mutation occurs the change of a nitrogenous base in one of the codons that encodes an aminoacid, without changing the aminoacid or altering the structure or function of the protein to be synthesized.
In this type of mutations the change of the base does not mean the change of the aminoacid, because some aminoacids can be coded with more than one codon. In the case of Leucine, the codons that encode it are CUU, CUC, CUG or CUA, so even if a base changes, the final protein will be the correct one.
For the other options:
- <u><em>Missense</em></u><em>: the change of the base in the DNA chain implies the change of the codon in the mRNA and of the encoded aminoacid, in that way a structural and functional alteration of the synthesized protein occurs. </em>
- <u><em>Nonsense</em></u><em>: the change in the nitrogenous base in the DNA leads to the coding of a termination codon, so that the protein is ultimately incomplete.</em>
- <u><em>Insertion</em></u><em>: in this case there is the addition of more nitrogenous bases to the DNA chain, with respect to the original one.</em>
