Answer:

A mutation that causes a single letter change in the DNA sequence can affect your protein structure and function because the sequence of letters in a gene determines the sequence of amino acids in the protein that it encodes. A single letter change in the DNA alters the mRNA which alters the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein and sometimes that can cause serious results if it changes the way a protein works.

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Genotype of parents is Rr

Explanation:

Let the allele for red flower be represented by "R" and the allele for white flower be represented by "r"

Allele for red color is dominant over allele for white color.

Co-dominant causes the expression of characteristics associated with dominant allele only.

Genotype of parents is Rr

Rr * Rr

RR, Rr, Rr, rr

"rr" is white colored flower

A researcher is trying to design an experiment to measure the amount of energy a person uses during different activities. He pro
Tomtit [17]

The right answer is to measure the amount of released carbon dioxide.

The carbon dioxide exhaled by the lungs can reflect the energy consumed by the body since it comes from the degradation of glucose which is the main energy substrate. And this is a better indicator of energy consumption than measuring heart rate because it can be inflected by several factors.


A is false because glucose is not found in the urine, except in the case of diabetes mellitus.

C is false because the consumption of calories does not mean that we will directly use it.

D is wrong because perspiration is independent of energy consumption, this is a way to cool the body after exercise.
