The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

Which of the following mutations is most likely to cause a phenotypic change?

A) a duplication of all or most introns

B) a large inversion whose ends are each in intergenic regions

C) a nucleotide substitution in an exon coding for a transmembrane domain

D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site

E) a frameshift mutation one codon away from the 3' end of the nontemplate strand

Answer: D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site

Explanation:

Deletion or insertion of a single nucleotide in an axon coding for an active site is called frameshift mutation.

The sequence of codons is read during translation, in order to synthesize a amino acids chain and form a protein from the nucleotide sequence. Frameshift mutations occur when the usual codon sequence is broken by the deletion or addition of one or more nucleotides. For example, if only one nucleotide is removed from the axon sequence during the RNA splicing process, then there will be a disrupted reading frame for all codons before and after the mutation. This may result in several incorrect amino acids being introduced into the protein. Disruption in protein sequence will cause phenotypic change.

Hence, the correct option is D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site .

Rank the order in which the earliest organisms evolved.
Black_prince [1.1K]

The order in which the earliest organisms evolved -

  • Archaea and bacteria
  • Protists
  • Fungi and shell-less invertebrates
  • Green algae
  • Shelled Invertebrates

On the earth, various kinds of organisms evolve at different geological times, and on their evolution, they consider the oldest or youngest organisms:

  • Archaebacteria and bacteria was the oldest living organism on earth was, they lacked a membrane-bound nucleus and cell.
  • The protists evolved after the bacteria, they were multicellular prokaryotic organisms.
  • Fungi and the shell-less invertebrate, much-developed organisms in terms of body organization and structure. These have membrane-bound, well-defined cell membranes, and a nucleus. They even had a tissue level of organization.
  • Green algae evolve after protists which belong to the division Thallophyta of the plant kingdom. These are photosynthetic as they have chlorophyll in the cell.
  • Shelled Invertebrates are the youngest organisms that evolved recently among these.

Thus, the correct order is -

  • Archaea and bacteria
  • Protists
  • Fungi and shell-less invertebrates
  • Green algae
  • Shelled Invertebrates
