A mutation takes place in a protein-coding gene that changes one codon resulting in a single amino acid replacement. Which type

of replacement is least likely to result in a disruption of protein structure and function?

A silent mutation. This is when the new codon will work just as well as the old one without changing the amino acid shape.

What is the role of RNA polymerase?

I think the answer MIGHT be D. RNA synthesis is carried out by proteins known as RNA polymerases that transcribe the genetic information from DNA in a highly-regulated, multi-stage process. But transcribe and translate are different so I'm not a 100% sure. Hope this helps!

Which is the properly balanced equation that shows the synthesis of limewater, Ca(OH)2, from calcium oxide and water?

vesna_86 [32]

Again :)))))
Calcium oxide:
II II
Ca O ---> CaO
water ---> H₂O

CaO + H₂O -----> Ca(OH)₂

Approximately 60% of human genes are also found in fruit flies about 97.5% of human genes are also found in most what does other

we have been evolved through same root, during the process we get separated and develop new features to adjust in the surrounding atmosphere, that's why our genes are matching with fruit flies and others.
