<span><span>A DNA sequence AAT - CCG – GTG codes for </span>Asparagine – Proline- Valine.</span> Substitution mutations would be those mutations in which a single nucleotide is substituted with a different nucleotide.
The correct answer is <span>AAT - CCA – GTG because CCG changes to CCA which also codes for the proline. This means that this substitution is a silent mutation because there is no change in amino acid</span>
Answer:
The beetle population would NOT be expected to decrease until pine population decreases in size.
Explanation:
The southern pine bark beetle is responsible for some of the most important pine forests loss in the last forty years. The insect identifies a pine of a certain advanced age and digs a hole in the bark to establish in places were sugars and starch circulate. There it lays its eggs and feeds. When larvae feed, they introduce a fungus that interrupts water and nutrients circulation between roots and leaves, causing the pine death. When the pine is completely infested or is dead, the insects move to another pine, dispersing and increasing the population size.
As the beetle population size increases, the pine population decreases, after being killed by the insects. When a pine dies, it not only stops producing food for the beetles but it also becomes susceptible to being inhabited by other species that might be predators of these beetles.
The beetles' population starts to decrease when most of the pines in the forest are dying. They hardly have available food and they are more exposed to being eaten by their predators.
The beetle population would NOT be expected to decrease until the pine population decreases in size.
It is the cycle of predator-prey, where predators population affect the dinatic of prey population, and viceversa. Populations sizes increase and decrease in these cycles. Herbivory is a kind of predation, in which the prey is a plant. In this example, the predator is the beetle and the prey in the pine.
Tundra biomes are either found at high latitudes or high elevations in mountains. These are both very cold environments that are dominated most of the year by snow and icy conditions. This in itself tends to stunt plant growth.
These regions, especially, tundra in the high latitudes also have very short growing seasons (3 months perhaps) and so plants can only photosynthesize and store sugars for this amount of time. High winds in these environments also tend to keep plants low to the ground.
Hello! This is a very interesting sea animal to study. So, most starfish have five arms that radiate from a central disc, but the number varies with the group. Luidia ciliaris has seven arms, members of the Solasteridae have ten to fifteen while the Antarctic Labidiaster annulatus can have up to fifty. It is not unusual in species that typically have five arms for some individuals to possess six or more through abnormal development. That’s really all I know about the anatomy of a starfish. I hope this helps.
If you have further questions please post them in comments. Have a great night!

<span>we estimate that identical twins with Down syndrome occur at the rate of 1 or 2 in a million pregnancies and non-identical twins at the rate of 14/15 in a million. If the likelihood of having a twin or twins with Down syndrome is also linked to a family history of twins, to age or to assisted pregnancies, we presume these factors will play a part in increasing the risk for some individuals.</span>
