Answer:

Hello!

The answer is C) substitution

Explanation:

Substitution:

A kind of mutation that involves the substitution of a single nucleotide by another, without changing the frame of reference of the DNA sequence. In this particular example, the thymine in the codon GAG (codes for glutamic acid) is being substituted by the base adenine, leaving the codon GTG (codes for the amino acid, valine).

The described substitution occurs in the case of the disease, sickle cell anemia that yields abnormal heamoglobin.

A) A deletion removes a base from the DNA sequence. This alters the frame of reference of the mRNA.
B) An insertion involves the addition of a base into the DNA sequence.
D) A silent mutation substitutes a base in such as way that the new codon codes for the same amino acid, conserving the function and structure of the protein; therefore, silent mutations are harmless.

Explain the difference between types of scientific investigation

allsm [11]

Answer:

Hey there.

There are three types of scientific investigations: descriptive, comparative, and experimental scenitific investigations.

fist we have Descriptive scientific investigations.

Descriptive investigations use careful observations and measurements to develop findings.

Then we have  comparative Investigation.

comparative investigations Involve collecting data on different populations/organisms, under different conditions (Times of year, locations), to make a comparison. for Example, Using a hand lens to examine the color and texture of four different rocks.

Lastly we have experimental scientific investigations.

Experimental investigations involve a process in which a "fair test" is designed and variables are actively manipulated, controlled,

Answer: Bone marrow stem cells have been shown to generate cartilage, bone, and muscle when injected directly into the injured site

Stem cells could differentiate into the various type of cells, makes them able to regenerate part of the body that doesn't have regeneration abilities. The cell that involved the tear of the rotator cuff would be cartilage, bone, and muscle. Stem cells could replace the damaged cells so that the muscle and joint might work better.

Does a carbon monoxide detector go off continuously

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: CO alarms have a life expectancy of around seven years. The CO alarm will beep every 30 seconds or display ERR or END. If a CO alarm is at its end-of-life, replacing the battery will not stop the beep. Most detectors will beep 4 or 5 times in a row about every 4 seconds. Do not mistake dangerous levels of poisonous gas for a detector with low battery.
