The answer would be D.

The mutation would cause a(in most cases) new and different polypeptide(protein) to be made so it can cause a different trait. For example a new eye color in fruit fly with mutated dna.

Answer: D. The mutated gene codes for a protein that causes a new trait

Explanation:

A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can occur from multiple causes. For example, by errors during replication or by the action of mutagens such as UV radiation, among others. When a mutation occurs, if not repaired, it can lead to the production of a different protein. This is because genes code for amino acids, which bonded together form proteins. <u>A change in a DNA gene base can lead to code for a different amino acid</u> (or even adding a new one or causing another to be lost). <u>This alteration can lead to the synthesis of another protein involved in the expression of a trait, and giving rise to a different characteristic</u>, which can be beneficial or harmful.

Answer:

- In Rho-dependent termination, an omega factor is responsible for displacing the core enzyme from the DNA template.

Explanation:

Rho factor is the factor responsible for the termination at places in the genome where the use of an intrinsic terminator is not possible. Omega factor is not responsible for displacing the core enzyme from the DNA template.

a diver with a mass of 60 Kg is standing on the top of a 10 meter high platform. what is the mechanical energy
inna [77]

Answer:

M.E = 5880 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass = 60 Kg

Height = 10 m

Mechanical energy = ?

Solution:

Formula:

M.E = K.F + P.E

K.E = 1/2 × mv²

P.E = mgh

Diver is not moving so K.E will be zero.

M.E = mgh

M.E = 60 kg × 9.8 m/s² ×  10 m

M.E = 5880 J  ( j= kg m²/s²)
