Answer:

c) It introduces a premature stop codon into the mRNA

Explanation:

Nonsense mutation is a type of point mutation (single nucleotide base is changed) which leads to premature stop codon. Stop codons are also called nonsense codons and that is way this type of mutation is called nonsense mutation. As a consequence, synthesized protein is incomplete and shorter than it should be (truncated protein), usually nonfunctional.

<span>Rocks can best be identified by their mineral content. This is because rocks are composed of one or multiple numbers of minerals. Quartz, calcite, feldspars, and micas are examples of minerals that make rock formations possible.

One can find rocks all over the Earth and most are usually under the soil. Rocks can be further classified as igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic rocks.</span>

A situation in which the coefficient of coincidence is greater than 1.0 would indicate that: A. no double crossovers were found
damaskus [11]

Answer:

B. there were more double crossovers in the progeny than would be expected based on probability

Explanation:

Crossing over or recombination can be defined as the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis. Moreover, the coefficient of coincidence is the number of double recombinants found in the progeny. The coefficient of coincidence can be estimated by the following equation:  

Coefficient of coincidence  (COC) = ADRF / EDRF

where ADRF = Actual Double Recombinant Frequency

and  EDRF = Expected Double Recombinant Frequency

In the case above described, ADFR is higher than EDRF, and therefore COC will be higher than 1.

Thx for ur helps peeps

A group of similar (accoding to function) types of cells, when comes together to perform a specific function, then it forms a tissues.
When a group of similarly working tissues come together then they form an organ.


And this relation could be written as

cell > tissue > organ

So, organ is a collection of tissues and tissues are collection of cells.
