Answer:

Mutations are only passed on to offspring when they occur in germ cell DNA, which are the cells that create sperm or ova. The other kind of cells, somatic cells, are the rest of the cells in the body, and mutations that occur in these cells do not get passed on to offspring

How does natural selection affect populations?
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Over time, these advantageous traits become more common in the population. Through this process of natural selection, favorable traits are transmitted through generations. Natural selection can lead to speciation, where one species gives rise to a new and distinctly different species.

How does shotgun cloning differ from the clone-by-clone method?.
kondor19780726 [428]

No genetic or physical maps of the genome are needed to begin shotgun cloning  and is much faster.

<h3>What is Shotgun cloning?</h3>

This is a method to duplicate genomic DNA in which it is smashed into small pieces and the fragments are then taken together and cloned into a vector.

This type of cloning however is faster as there are no genetic or physical maps needed to begin the process.

Why do fish have gills​
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer: Like us, fish also need to take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide in order to survive. But instead of lungs, they use gills. ... As the fish opens its mouth, water runs over the gills, and blood in the capillaries picks up oxygen that's dissolved in the water.

A strand of DNA that is 36 nucleotides long codes for how many amino acids?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

See answer below

Explanation:

Hi there,

Assuming this DNA strand is fully capable of being mature mRNA (5' m7G cap and PolyA tail), nucleotides lead to an mRNA codon, which is 3 nucleotides per codon. In turn, 1 codon leads to 1 amino acid. However, as a single strand, it must be capable of terminating translation, which always requires a stop codon, and thus 3 nucleotides. Hence, we must subtract this from the total amount of codons <em>first</em>.

36 \ ncltd \ \frac{1 \ codon}{3 \ ncltd} = 12 \ codon\\12 \ codon - 1 \ codon \  = 11 \ codon\\11 \ codons\ \frac{1 A.A.}{1 \ codon}  = 11 \ A. A.

Hence, only 11 amino acids will be coded by a single DNA strand 36 ncltd long.

thanks,
