The third codon (three bases) in the sequence was mutated from GAT to AAT. The GAT codon translates to the amino acid aspartic acid. The AAT codon translates to the amino acid asparagine. This is what's called a point mutation, specifically a missense mutation since the translated amino acid is changed. Deletion and inversion mutations are not the answer because these mutations involve the chromosomes as a whole, not just bases. Frame shift mutations occur when 1 or 2 (but not 3) bases are added or deleted from the sequence causing an array of point mutations (domino effect).

Answer:

Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates. Although glucose and fructose have the same molecular formula they have different structures or the atoms are arranged differently from each other and this is evident in the way they react, behave and in their properties.

What does the biodiversity on Earth indicate about its organisms?

mixas84 [53]

A high biodiversity tally may indicate that some of its organisms may be able to survive drastic environmental changes. If there weren't at least a few organisms that contribute to biodiversity, most of the biotic Earth would be gone by now.

For example, woolly mammoths were unable to adapt to the up-and-coming warmth of the poles. Because they lacked biodiversity among their species, all of them died out and weren't able to adapt to the heat.

If color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait, what genotype in a father and a mother would be predicted to produce a 1:1 ra

Likurg_2 [28]

The genotype would be X'Y for the father (he would be colorblind)
The genotype would be X'X for the mother (she would be a carrier)
The offspring would be X'X' _ X'X_ X'Y_ XY
The ratio would be 1:1 normal to colorblind
Hope this was helpful(;
