How do mutations affect the cell

1 answer:

7 0

Generally, DNA Polymerase will correct the mutation before it inhibits the cell. By changing a gene’s instructions for making a protein, a mutation can cause the protein to malfunction or to be missing entirely. When a mutation alters a protein that plays a critical role in the body, it can disrupt normal development or cause a medical condition. A condition caused by mutations in one or more genes is called a genetic disorder.

Answer:

Dark beetles were more camouflaged to their new environment and were able to survive longer in order to reproduce.

Explanation:

The key here is "A lot of the brush has been burned away and the ground in the ecosystem is much darker in color due to the fire."

How do nutrients move through biotic and abiotic parts of an ecosystem?

evablogger [386]

Nutrients move through the ecosystem in biogeochemical cycles. A biogeochemical cycle is a circuit/pathway by which a chemical element moves through the biotic and the abiotic factors of an ecosystem. It is inclusive of thebiotic factors, or living organisms, rocks, air, water, and chemicals.

guapka [62]

Answer:

A measure of the nutrients a food provides relative to the energy it provides; the more nutrients and the fewer kcalories, the higher the nutrient density.

Nutrient density identifies the amount of beneficial nutrients in a food product in proportion to e.g. energy content, weight or amount of detrimental nutrients. Terms such as nutrient rich and micronutrient dense refer to similar properties. Several different national and international standards have been developed and are in use

What type of trait in mendel's studies could vanish in one generation and reappear in the next generation?

stira [4]

Recessive traits often seem to disappear because two recessive alleles are needed to produce the recessive phenotype. They can skip a generation and then reappear if an individual inherits two copies of the recessive gene. Mendel's experiments revealed that phenotypes could be hidden in one generation, only to reemerge in subsequent generations.

Recessive traits disappear because recessive alleles can hide out in heterozygotes, allowing them to persist in gene pools and natural selection can only see the phenotype, not the genotype. While harmful recessive alleles will be selected against and it's almost impossible for recessive alleles to completely disappear from a gene pool.
