Answer: carbohydrates is composed of amino acids

Explanation: carbohydrate functions as an energy giving food in the body. Examples are rice, casssava and maize. The molecular structure of carbohydrate is (CH20)n. Carbohydrate has three subtypes:

(1) Monosaccharides: They are simple sugar and consists of a number of carbons(C) which ranges from 3 to 7.

(2) Disaccharides: They are formed when two Monosaccharides undergo a dehydration reaction which is also known as condensation reaction. thanks

(3) Polysaccharides: They consist of a long chain of branched or unbranched

Monosaccharides Monosaccharides linked by covalent bonds.

Carbohydrates is not composed of amino acids but rather protein is composed of amino acids.

Given the gene sequence GGACCGTCGATCTTC, which of the following choices would represent an inversion mutation? A. GGACTCGATCTTC

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

D. GGACCGTCGATCCTT

Explanation:

Mutation refers to any change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene. Mutation can be of different types depending on how it occurs. According to the question, an INVERSION mutation is a type of mutation in which a segment of a gene gets broken off and reattached in another way on the same DNA. Hence, the only change in inversion mutation is the arrangement of the nucleotide bases on the gene.

Considering the nucleotide sequence: GGACCGTCGATCTTC, the sequence that describes an occurrence of inversion mutation is: GGACCGTCGATCCTT because the segment TTC in the original sequence has been rearranged as CTT in the mutated sequence.
