In a DNA molecule, three nucleotides make up a codon. A codon is creates a specific amino acid. Therefore, in order to work this out, we must calculate the number of codons that will not be affected by the mutation. This is done by finding the highest number that is divisible by 3 but less than 85. This can be done by:
85 / 3 = 28.333
So 28 codons will not be affected.
Answer:
Plate boundaries
Explanation:
earthquakes move tectonic plates and plate boundaries
Answer:
C. A-T rich; initiator
Explanation:
Replication origins have A-T rich DNA sequences that attract initiator proteins.
Replication origin is the DNA sequence where replication is initiated in a genome. The replication origin sequences is rich in adenine (A) and thymine (T) bases because it is easier to break the bonds between the bases compared to the bonds between guanine and cytosine. adenine (A) and thymine (T) bases have two bonds joining them as against three bonds between guanine and cytosine
The initiator proteins recognizes DNA sequences in the replication origin and helps to initiate DNA replication.
Answer:
beneficial mutation
Explanation:
A mutation is any alteration in the genetic material of an organism. In general, mutations have a negative impact on the fitness (or reproductive success) of the individual that carries this mutation; however, there are situations where a mutation may be beneficial for the individual in a given environment. When a beneficial mutation occurs in the germline, it potentially can be passed to the next generation and progressively increases its frequency in the population.
Answer: (A) Natural selection tend to reduce genetic variation as there was a smaller distribution of beak depths, but it tends to select for the most fit phenotypes, as there was an increase in average beak depth after the drought.
