Your town is planning on implementing a new wastewater reclamation plant (a connected wastewater plant and water treatment plant
Mazyrski [523]

The reasons why the wastewater reclamation plant will be implemented are the well-being of the environment, as well as making the water suitable for usage for the people. By installing the plant, the wastewater will be cleaned in most part. That will mean that the water can be returned to the nature without it causing damage to it and polluting it, but instead contributing to its well-being and proper functioning. Also, part of the water will be used for irrigation, as flushing water in the toilets, for doing laundry, which will result in preserving the freshwater reserves while still having a source of water for certain needs. The fact that the water will be cleaned, also means that the local water bodies will be safe to use for recreation, as they will not be polluted.

yuradex [85]

The genetic code is called non-overlapping because adjacent codons can not overlap, whereas in this case, the code is overlapping.

<h3>What does 'overlapping code' mean?</h3>

The genetic code does not overlap because the same nucleotide in the sequence cannot be used to encode two different codons.

In genetics, overlapping refers to a feature of the genetic code associated with how this nucleotide code is read.

In conclusion, the genetic code in this case is overlapping.

What type mutation are most harmful to an organism
Ghella [55]

Answer:

type 1

Explanation:

Because an insertion or deletion results in a frame-shift that changes the reading of subsequent codons and, therefore, alters the entire amino acid sequence that follows the mutation, insertions and deletions are usually more harmful than a substitution in which only a single amino acid is altered.
