Answer:
Silent mutations do not affect protein function
Explanation:
A mutation is defined as any alteration in the genetic material of a cell of a living organism. Moreover, a silent mutation refers to any mutation that does not alter the phenotype of the cell/organism (they are evolutionary neutral mutations). Silent mutations are base substitutions that do not alter the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein, and therefore these mutations do not alter protein function.
It is called geomagnetic reversal
Answer: False
Explanation:The basilar membrane is located in the cochlea interior. It has variation in the stiffness near to the oval window and turns floppiest near to apex. Basilar membrane is active near the stiff area which is oval window when it is exposed to high frequency and thus has experiences the excitation of cells of the nerves .
Therefore the apex being less stiff is displaced by the low frequency sound in the basilar membrane, so the statement given is false.
Answer: The change in the structure of the genes or change in the DNA sequence is called mutation. The mutations are of different types that are deletion, rearrangement, insertion and others.
Explanation:
Mutation in which the one to several nucleotides get changed at a point is called point mutation. The point mutation can be in the form of deletion, substitution, and insertion. Deletion will involve the removal of nucleotide that involves the change in the sequence of DNA. When the nucleotide is added to the genome it is called insertion. In deletion and insertion the whole sequence of nucleotides from the point of mutation get displaced this affect the codons in the amino acid sequence which is responsible for protein synthesis so the functioning of the body may get affected by such mutations.
In the case of substitution the new nucleotides are added to the DNA sequence and the one which was already present at that place is removed. So, only one amino acid in the sequence will change so the polypeptide structure will not be affected.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Tilling agitates the topsoil and removes ‘unnecessary’ vegetation so the main crop can grow without competition. Tilling improves soil aeration and drainage for plants to grow well. Nonetheless, it can lead to other consequences such as soil erosion because it loosens the soil and makes it easy to be carried away by wind and water.
