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.

Describe the physical adaptations that all primates share
gulaghasi [49]

Primates are a group of mammals including humans, apes, monkeys, lemurs and lorises. The physical adaptations that all primates share are; a fairly generalized skeletal layout that can be used for many different modes of locomotion, specialized forelimbs, hands and feet, a larger brain especially the cerebral cortex, an omnivorous diet, stereoscopic vision that helps in the perception of depth and measuring distance and a small number of offspring at birth.

Some proteins on the surface of a mammalian cell contain carbohydrates. These proteins are synthesized by _______ and the sugars
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

c) Ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum; Golgi apparatus

Explanation:

Endoplasmic reticulum, a member of endomembrane system. If it contains ribosomes on their surface, they are called Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER). RER is the site for protein synthesis.

Newly formed protein undergoes modification, one such modification is the addition of carbohydrate side chains to form glycoprotein. The protein then moves to the Golgi for modification.
