The difference between the two DNA sequences, is that there was a C added to the new sequence. This mutation is called insertion

The correct answer is B. Insertion

Explanation:

In genetics, a mutation refers to a change or alteration in the nucleotide sequence in the DNA of an organism, this implies the order of nucleotides included in a sequence that is composed of nucleotides of  Adenine (A), Guanine (G), cytosine (C) and thymine (T) change. In the case presented this occurs as one cytosine (C) nucleotide is added to the new sequence (AAGCCTGCGCAAT) which means the kind of mutation is insertion because a new nucleotide has been added or inserted into the sequence instead of eliminating a nucleotide (deletion), changing one nucleotide for other (substitution) or duplication a nucleotide (duplication).

Human abo blood groups are determined by a single gene with 3 alleles: a, b, and o. in a sample of 300 individuals, 100 are bloo
KengaRu [80]
Allele frequency is determined by looking at the dominant and recessive allele of a genotype. 
Using the given, we can come up with the following computation for the allele frequency:
allele A = 100/300 allele B = 50/300 allele O = 150/300
Hence, the frequency of allele A is 0.33 or 33%, allele B is .17 or 17% and allele O is 0.50 or 50%.

Why is mitosis important to understand
blagie [28]
Mitosis is important because this is the stages (cell cycle) in a cell where the chromosomes are split into two and have their own nucleus. There are seven stages to this process

1. Interphase
2. Prophase
3.Prometaphase
4.metaphase
5. Anaphase
6. Telophase
7. Cytokinesis

The symptoms that shelly is experiencing result from the interactions between streptococus pyogenes (a prokaryote) and the cells
Arlecino [84]

Explanation:

While only eukaryotes contain nuclei, rough Endoplasmic reticulum, the golgi complex and mitochondria. Prokaryotes, are unique ad contain a characteristic capsule, while both may have plasma membranes, ribosomes, flagella and a cytoplasm.

Explanation:

Cells are the basic microscopic units of all organisms. There are two cell types, Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes.

Prokaryotic ( meaning pro: before and Karyon: for kernel/nut) describes organisms which don’t have a cell nucleus or other organelles surrounded by membranes. Eukaryotic (eu meaning true), are organisms with a cell nucleus and several other organelles surrounded by membranes.

Their structural components (i.e. their makeup) determine their function (what they do). Arranged in a phospholipid bilayer it is a semi-permeable membrane into the extracellular fluid or the cytoplasm which are both hydrophilic and contain large concentrations of polar water molecules or other water-soluble compounds. The hydrophilic heads of the bilayer are attracted to water while their water-repellent hydrophobic tails face towards each other- allowing molecules of water and hydrophilic molecules to move across the membrane along the concentration gradient.

These may increase metabolic reaction efficiency and separate proteins and molecules that may harm the cell by parceling them into membrane-bound organelles.
