Answer:

This question lacks options; the options are:

A) Deletion mutation

B) Missense mutation

C) Inversion mutation

D) Nonsense mutation

The answer is D) Nonsense mutation

Explanation:

A mutation in genetics refers to the change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene or DNA segment. The occurrence of mutation in a gene leads to different effects, which is the basis of the different types of mutation. The type of mutation described in this question is called a NONSENSE MUTATION, which is a type of base substitution mutation.

Nonsense mutation is the mutation in which one nucleotide base in the sequence gets replaced by a STOP CODON (UAA, UAG, UGA), leading to the truncation of the amino acid sequence and hence, the production of a non-functional protein.

This is the case in this mutated gene sequence whose normal sequence codes for: Pro-Met-Glu-Arg-Asp. The mutation causes the codon specifying Glutamine to be replaced by either of the STOP codons, thereby, stopping the translation process. The stop to the translation process causes the amino acid sequence to be truncated and a non-functional amino acid sequence is formed: Pro-Met-

a model of a plane in different parts of atmosphere uses a scale of 1;4,000, if a plane flies at an altitude of 2,000 feet how h
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - 1/2 ft.

Explanation:

if the scale is 1:4,000

It shows that the model plane will fly 1ft above the ground., the original plane flyes 4,000ft above the ground,

Now, if the plane flies 2,000ft above the ground, this is half times as the scale given, then the model plane will also fly half times as the number from the scale.

1/2*1ft = 1/2ft.

Now, we also can do it as:

4000 ft equivalent to 1 ft.

2000ft equivalent to x

x = 1ft*(2000ft/4000ft) = 1ft*1/2 = 1/2ft.
