Students are modeling how genes produce proteins by using wooden tiles with letters to represent the genes. In this model, the w

ords that the combination of letters produce represents the proteins. In this model, which of the following best represents a mutation?
1-Combining many different words to create a complete message
2-Creating any word that is spelled exactly the same way forward and backward
3-Changing one or more of the letters so that they spell a different word or no word at all
4-Making different words, with a certain number of letters, that have the same meaning

Answer:

3-Changing one or more of the letters so that they spell a different word or no word at all

Explanation:

Genes are segments of the DNA that encodes the synthesis of protein. However, changes called MUTATION occurs to genes. MUTATION is any change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene caused by mistakes during replication or induced. Mutations, depending on how it occurs, results in differing effects on the protein. It can cause the production of a different protein, it can cause no protein to be formed due to the fact that a stop codon was encountered, it can also end up not changing the sequence that holds information about the protein.

According to the question, wooden tiles with letters represents the genes. These wooden tiles are combined by the students in such a way that the words produced represents the protein. A mutation, as defined earlier, means a change in one of the letters (genes) that will cause their combination to produce a word that is different from originally planned (different protein) or no word at all (no protein).

Significance of active transport in food processing ​
OleMash [197]

Answer:

Why do we need active transport?

Moving Against a Gradient

Small substances constantly pass through plasma membranes. Active transport maintains concentrations of ions and other substances that living cells require in the face of these passive movements. A cell may spend much of its metabolic energy supply maintaining these processes.

Which property results from the crystal lattice structure of ionic compounds? A. low melting point B. good electrical conductivi
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

C.) crystalline solids

Explanation:

The solid materials may be crystalline or amorphous. The concept of crystal structure is related to the organization of atoms in a geometrical form. Crystalline structures are present in various materials, where atoms distributed within their structure form a network called the crystalline lattice. Therefore, crystalline structures have salts, metals and most minerals. Crystalline structures are formed by unit cells that are their basic unit, as they constitute the smallest set of associated atoms found in a crystalline structure.

The molecules of the crystalline structures can have two types of bonds, the directional ones, which include the covalent and dipole dipole and the non-directional ones where the metallic, ionic, van der Walls bonds. When formed by ionic compounds, these crystalline structures can result in crystalline solids.

nignag [31]
The Sun's rays hit Earth's surface nearly at righ angles at Equator.


Duirng March equinox and September equinox the rays fall perpendicular at Equator. During this times the duration of day light and night are nearly equal.


The Sun's rays fall perpedicular during that time because the Sun is in the sky directly over the Equator.
