Answer:

A mutation, which may arise during replication and/or recombination, is a permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA. Damaged DNA can be mutated either by substitution, deletion or insertion of base pairs. Mutations, for the most part, are harmless except when they lead to cell death or tumor formation. Because of the lethal potential of DNA mutations cells have evolved mechanisms for repairing damaged DNA.

Types of Mutations

There are three types of DNA Mutations: base substitutions, deletions and insertions.

1. Base Substitutions

Single base substitutions are called point mutations, recall the point mutation Glu -----> Val which causes sickle-cell disease. Point mutations are the most common type of mutation and there are two types.

Transition: this occurs when a purine is substituted with another purine or when a pyrimidine is substituted with another pyrimidine.

Transversion: when a purine is substituted for a pyrimidine or a pyrimidine replaces a purine.

Black_prince [1.1K]

Homologous and analogous structures are two types of evolutionary evidence, taken together, provide strong evidence for when extinct species most likely diverged from common ancestors, relative to other events happening on Earth.

Several types of evidence support the theory of evolution: If two or more species share a unique physical feature, such as a complex bone structure or body plan, they can all inherit this property from the common ancestor. Physical traits shared through evolutionary history (common ancestor) they say they are homologous. Not all physical properties that look similar are signs of common ancestry. Some physical similarities instead are analogous: they evolved independently in different organisms because organisms lived in similar environments or experienced similar selective pressures.

Mariana [72]

Answer:

a) the oxidizing agent.

Explanation:

In the citric acid cycle, malate is dehydrogenated into oxaloacetate and the reaction is catalyzed by malate dehydrogenase. The released electrons are accepted by NAD+. So, NAD+ is reduced into NADH. The substances that accept electrons during chemical reactions and are reduced to oxidize the other substances are called oxidizing agents. NAD+ serves as an oxidizing agent as it accepts electrons to oxidize malate into oxaloacetate.
