Answer:

Substitution

Explanation:

Mutations can simply be defined as change in the structure of a gene. Mutation can be of different types. These include, but not limited to:

  • Insertion: This involves the insertion of extra base pairs into a DNA
  • Deletion: Loss of DNA section
  • Substitution: When a nucleotide base gets substituted with another base.

<em>Substitution of a base can lead to coding of different amino acid and hence, protein. It can also lead to coding of the same amino acid, otherwise known as silent mutation. Base substitution can also lead to the amino-acid-coding codon becoming a stop codon, leading to an incomplete protein.</em>

The correct answer is substitution.

The number of bacteria in a certain population is predicted to increase according to a continuous exponential growth model, at a
Brilliant_brown [7]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows;

The number of bacteria in a certain population is predicted to increase according to a continuous exponential growth model, at a relative rate of 16% per hour. Suppose that a sample culture has an initial population of 71 bacteria. Find the predicted population after three hours Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your answer to the nearest tenth bacteria .

Answer:

114.7

Explanation:

A (t) represent the population of the bacteria at the time t.

Since, the population grows exponentially, the population can be calculated as follows:

A (t) = Ao ×  e^{kt}

A (t) is teh final population, Ao is the initial population, e is the exponential, k is rate and t is time.

A (t) = 71  × e^{0.16\times t}

For t = 3 hours

A (t) = 71 × e^{0.16\times 3}

A (t) = 114.7.

The population of bacteria after 3 hours is 114.7.

ladessa [460]

Answer: in the atom you can find: electrons and protons

Explanation:

You can find electrons in an atom because it is the negative energy that rounds the atom on the outside’s part.

Then, the protons are the positive energy that is on the atom’s inside.

Both of the energies are fused and it end on a neutron energy.
