During transcription the DNA base sequence is transcribed into a complementary mRNA sequence. A codon table like the one shown b

elow lists the amino acids coded for by particular triads of mRNA bases. A segment of DNA has undergone a mutation in ukieh one nucleotide has been changed. The original sequence was ACG and the new sequence is ACA. Use the codon table whether or not this mutation will cause a change in the phenotype of the organism.
a. It is impossible to determine if a change in phenotype will occur using only the DNA sequence.

b. No, even though the DNA sequence changed, the sequence still codes for the same amino acid, so no change in phenotype will occur.

c. Yes, the phenotype of the organism would change because any change in the DNA sequence will cause a change in phenotype.

d. Yes, the phenotype of the organism would change because a new amino acid will be coded for.

Answer: Option B) No, even though the DNA sequence changed, the sequence still codes for the same amino acid, so no change in phenotype will occur.

Explanation:

Since the triplet codon ACG codes for the amino acid threonine, so also ACA codes for threonine, the single base change of Guanine (in ACG) to Adenine (ACA) is insignificant due to the degeneracy of the genetic code.

Thus, the sequence still codes for the same amino acid, so no change in phenotype will occur

Impression materials that have mechanical properties permitting considerable elastic deformation but that return to their origin
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Elastomeric

Explanation:

An elastomer is a polymer whose main characteristic is elasticity and can even recover its shape after being deformed

The chemical composition of an elastomer is the grouping of thousands of molecules called monomers, which join together forming huge chains. These large chains of polymers are those that give elasticity since they are flexible and are intertwined in a very messy way.

When an elastomer is stretched, its molecules align, allowing many times to take a crystalline appearance. However, upon releasing the tension, it immediately returns to its original state of elastic disorder. The above distinguishes elastomers from plastic polymers.
