Answer:

The correct answer is: Variation in nucleotide sequences are located in those regions of the gene which do not affect the sequence of the protein due to genetic code degeneracy.

Explanation:

  • Proteins are encoded from the genes located in the chromosomes.
  • The genes are made up of the heritable DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) sequences.
  • These genes are transcribed by the enzyme called RNA polymerase into mRNA (messenger Ribonucleic Acid) sequences in the nucleus.
  • The mRNA is then translated into protein sequences by the Ribosome in the cytoplasm or the RER (Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum).
  • The Ribosome reads the mRNA code in form of triplets, that is, three consecutive nucleotide are read as a single code that encode for a single amino acid. This triplet code that responsible for coding for a single amino acid is called a Codon.
  • The Codons are degenerate in nature. This means that among the three nucleotide in a codon the first two nucleotide is specific for a particular amino acid. The third nucleotide is "wobble" in nature. This means that whatever may be the nucleotide in the third position it will not change the amino acid coded by the first two nucleotide.
  • Hence, a single amino acid is coded by more than one codon.
  • So, gene sequences showing variation in the wobble nucleotide position will encode for the same protein.

The expected result of this poison on secondary active transport is that the poison will prevents the conformational changes which are necessary for the pump to perform its function, thus preventing it from been able to carry out transportation of ions in and out of the cell.

Bacteria with the ability to break down certain types of plastic are placed with a colony of E. coli bacteria that lack this abi
lana66690 [7]

The answer is; C

Plasmids are conferred through horizontal gene transfer in bacteria.  The ‘male’ bacteria develops a structure called pili that then attaches to the ‘female’ bacteria. It then transfers it’s replicated plasmid to the ‘female’ bacteria in a process called conjugation. This bacteria will hence have desirable traits that are coded for by the transferred genetic material ,such as antibiotic resistance, after a process called recombination.

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Explanation:

Based on what is known about the fetal skeleton and the ossification process it can be said that this occurs due to babies having more of the osteoblasts bone cells. These cell's main function is to lay down new bone material, this therefore creates a thicker harder bone which allows for proper support so that the body can continue growing and become stronger overall.
