Answer:
One amino acid
Explanation:
This question is describing the occurrence of the process of mutation, which is the alteration in the genetic sequence of a gene. In this question, a DNA sequence was given as follows: TAC-ATC-CAT-CAG-TTA-CGC. However, a SUBSTITUTION MUTATION took place in such a way that the thymine base was replaced by a guanine base to have mutated sequence: GAC-ATC-CAT-CAG-TTA-CGC.
Since the mutation is a kind of substitution mutation, only the codon affected by that mutation will change. This DNA sequence will be transcribed into a mRNA sequence. The mRNA will be read codon by codon (a group of hree nucleotides) to produce amino acid. Since one codon will be involved, one amino acid will be affected.
Answer:
Explanation:
In artificial selection, breeders select parent organisms with desired characteristics, in the hopes that when they are crossed, the desired variations will appear in the offspring. ... If the organism is "fit" it does survive and reproduce, thus possibly passing its traits to future generations.
Complete question:
Examine the following diagrams. Columns I and II contain rock layers A, B, C, D, E, and F. Both columns were taken from the same dig site at different locations. Which two layers are of approximately the same age? (Note: The diagrams are attached).
Answer:
C and D
Explanation:
Layers C and D apparently contain the same fossilized organisms in the same substrate. Their appearance is very similar. By knowing that certain organisms used to live in a certain period of time, if we find two strata that show the same fossilized organisms, then we can estimate that these two strata are the same age. Fossilized organisms are used to estimate the age of a rocky stratum.
Life history can be illustrated through fossilized organisms trapped or converted into rocks. These fossils are known as index or guide fossils, of animal or vegetal nature, and they can apport information about the rocky stratum in which they are located or incrusted. These fossils are used to determine the age of the rocky sediments or the environmental conditions under which they were deposited.
