I am pretty sure that a point mutation that creates a premature stop codon is called a synonymous  mutation. It also can be called silent mutation, if you have it in you option list, feel free to use it, it is the same. That will definitely help you.

In an experiment, a certain colony of bacteria initially has a population of 50,000. A reading is taken every 2 hours, and at th
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

1) Recursive definition: p_n = (50,000)3^n

2) At the beginning of the 4th interval

Explanation:

1)

The initial population of the bacteria at time zero is

p_0 = 50,000

Here we are told that the reading is taken every two hours; we call this time interval "n", so

n=2 h

And also, after every time interval n, the number of bacteria has tripled.

This means that when n = 1,

p_1 = 3 p_0

And when n=2,

p_2 = 3 p_1 = 3(3p_0)=9 p_0

Applied recursively, we get

p_n = 3^n p_0

And substituting p0,

p_n = (50,000)3^n (1)

2)

Here we want to find at the beginning of which interval there are

p=1,350,000

bacteria.

This means that we can rewrite eq.(1) as

1,350,000=(50,000)3^n

By simplifying,

27=3^n

Which means that

n=3

However, this means that the number of bacteria is 1,350,000 after 3 time intervals; therefore, at the beginning of the 4th interval.

Different types of dominance
kiruha [24]
There are three types of dominance. Incomplete, complete, and co-dominance. Complete dominance is when the dominant trait completely masks the recessive. incomplete dominance is when the dominant allele doesn’t completely mask the recessive allele, sometimes resulting in blending. Co-dominance occurs when both alleles are expressed at the same time.

How are adaptations related to natural selection?<br><br> Need help:P
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

In evolutionary theory, adaptation is the biological mechanism by which organisms adjust to new environments or to changes in their current environment. The idea of natural selection is that traits that can be passed down allow organisms to adapt to the environment better than other organisms of the same species
