Answer:
A mutation is a heritable change in the genetic material of an individual. The change can be large or small. Large changes involve the loss, addition, duplication, or rearrangement of whole chromosomes or chromosome segments. Mutations can affect an organism by changing its physical characteristics (or phenotype) or it can impact the way DNA codes the genetic information (genotype). When mutations occur they can cause termination (death) of an organism or they can be partially lethal.
Explanation:
True some explanations are not always based on empirical evidence
It's classified as an acid
Answer:
(3R,4R)-4-bromohexan-3-ol
Explanation:
In this case, we have reaction called <u>halohydrin formation</u>. This is a <u>markovnikov reaction</u> with <u>anti configuration</u>. Therefore the halogen in this case "Br" and the "OH" must have <u>different configurations</u>. Additionally, in this molecule both carbons have the <u>same substitution</u>, so the "OH" can go in any carbon.
Finally, in the product we will have <u>chiral carbons</u>, so we have to find the absolute configuration for each carbon. On carbon 3 we will have an "R" configuration on carbon 4 we will have also an "R" configuration. (See figure 1)
