Milli word means 1/1000 times while kilo word means 1000 times. That means a milli meter will be equal to 1/1000 meter while 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. The conversion factor would be: 1 millimeter * (1 meter/1000millimeter) / (1000 meters/1 kilometer)= 1 * 10^-6 kilometer. The conversion factor is 1 * 10^-6 kilometer/mm

Since 1 mm equal to 1 * 10^-6 kilometer, the whale length would be:28,578 millimeters * (1 * 10^-6 kilometer/mm)= 0.028578 km= 2.85 * 10^-2 km

Which is an example of an insertion mutation that changes all of the amino acids that follow the mutation?
astra-53 [7]

Answer:


2) CAG - TTC - ACG mutates to CAG - TTC - ACC - ACG

Explanation:

Insertions are mutations in which extra base pairs are inserted into a new place in the DNA. The number of base pairs inserted can range from one to thousands!

In option no. 1: We see that there is not addition of a single or more than one base, but the new base sequence is different from the original sequence at three places i.e: TTA - CAC - G

In option no. 2: The insertion of three bases ACC has been made exactly after TTC, the whole sequence and arrangement of bases remain same except this insertion.


In option no. 3: The first base of the sequence T is replaced with A, and all other sequence is same. This type of mutation is called substitution in which one base is replaced by other.


In option no. 4: The last base of the sequence C is deleted, and is not present in new sequence. This type of mutation is called deletion in which a base is removed from the sequence.


Conclusion: Therefore, the best option is 2, in which whole codon is inserted in the DNA base sequence.

Why are scientific theories often so powerful?
vodka [1.7K]
Scientific theories are often so powerful because they have been tested several time by different peoples and they have been found to be true. A scientific theory is a well substantiated explanation for a specific phenomenon which has undergone many observations and experiments and has stand the test of time. Thus, scientific theories always have to be reckon with because they have been severally tested.

Compare the modern Cell Theory to the original Cell Theory
CaHeK987 [17]
The statements of the old cell theory are:
1. All organisms are composed of cells
2. The cell is the basic unit of life
3. Cells are produced from existing cells

The modern cell theory's statements are:
1. The cell contains hereditary information which is passed to daughter cells
2. All cells are basically the same in composition and activity
3. All basic functions occur in cells
4. Cell activities depend on intracellular structures

As is visible from the statements, the old cell theory was not as detailed and lacked the understanding of the function, structure and behavior of cells that the current theory possesses. This difference has come about after years of research, through which scientists understood the functions of cells and elaborated on the theory's statements.
