ankoles [38]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Following are some of the possible consequences of mutations:  

1. Some of the mutations take place in proteins that play an essential role in the function of cells, and thus, the cell dies.  

2. Some mutations result in the origination of new traits like red hair.  

3. Some mutations take place in genes, which monitor the division of cell and thus cells start to divide out of control, resulting in cancer.  

4. Some of the mutations may be beneficial and may offer some benefit to the organism in some of the environments. These advantageous mutations may be encouraged by natural selection and are the basis for the evolution of life on Earth.

Trava [24]

Answer:

The given blank can be filled with operator.

Explanation:

The proteins that assist in turning on or turning off the function of a specific gene by getting combined with certain sections of the DNA are known as transcription factors. The transcription factors that activate the transcription of a specific gene are known as activators, while that prevents transcription and is termed as repressors.  

A repressor can be an RNA or a DNA binding protein, which prevents the articulation of genes by getting combined with the operator. A repressor, which binds with DNA prevents RNA polymerase from getting combined with the promoter, which further inhibits the transcription of the genes into mRNA.

Answer:

The correct answer is D) Fissures

Artesian springs refer to the water coming out through these cracks or openings in the earth onto the surface of the Karst topography.

Is it important to prevent Damage to the nerve cells
-Dominant- [34]

Yes, it's important to prevent damage to the nerve cells because if they were to get damaged you could get paralyzed. When your nerve cells are damaged the signals to move different parts of your body don't make it through to the muscles which leads to paralysis.
