Answer:

<em>The correct option is B) Missense mutation.</em>

Explanation:

A missense mutation can be described as a type of point mutation in which a mutation in a single nucleotide causes the codon to change and form a different type of amino acid. As in the above scenario, we can see that the code CAU coded for the amino acid, Histidine, before a point mutation occurred. After the point mutation, the codon was changed to UAU instead of CAU. UAU codes for the enzyme, tyrosine, instead of histidine.

DNA strand replication begins with an RNA primer. DNA strand replication begins with an RNA primer. True False
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

DNA synthesis is performed by the enzyme DNA polymerase. However, DNA polymerase requires the presence of a free 3' OH on the existing DNA or RNA segment. The enzyme primase forms small RNA segments that serve as primers. Primers are formed by using the DNA template strands and have free 3' OH ends. DNA polymerase extends the primers by adding deoxyribonucleotides according to the sequence of the DNA template strand. Therefore, DNA polymerases are the enzymes of primer elongation.
