Answer:
Mutation
Explanation:
Mutation is a change in the nucleotide sequence by addition, deletion, substitution, etc which results in the slow addition of allelic variation that increases the diversity in a population and leads to evolutionary change.
The right mutation in the allele or gene is favored by nature and it is passed in the next generation through reproduction. Mutation helps in the survival of a population in the continuously changing environment by adding new alleles that increase the fitness of the organism. So the correct answer is mutation.
Answer:
Every cell in the human body contains protein. The basic structure of protein is a chain of amino acids. You need protein in your diet to help your body repair cells and make new ones. Protein is also important for growth and development in children, teens, and pregnant women
Explanation:
Answer: The maximum number of amino acids that could be coded is 2
Explanation:
- A codon in this microorganism is 2 bases instead of 3 bases .
- In order to encode a protein a sequence requires a start and stop codon
- If you assume no start codon: then only 2 bases would make up the stop codon.
- This leaves 4 bases which is 2 codons. This would encode 2 amino acids.
- If you assume a start and stop codon, then each codon would be allocated 2 base pairs each = 4 base pairs
- This only leaves 2 base pairs, a single codon which would only code for 1 amino acid
