Answer

The correct answer is option B

B. Permeability to glucose will increase.

Explanation:

A phospholipid bilayer is a thin polar membrane comprising two lipid molecules. It regulates the diffusion of ions and proteins and is impermeable to most water molecules. A balances amount of saturated and unsaturated phospholipid regulates the permeability of glucose, allowing only a specific amount to pass through but when there's more unsaturation, permeability increases.

If the DNA sequence TTCACG is transcribed to AAGGC, what type of mutation has occurred?
kenny6666 [7]
The answer is d. deletion.

If the DNA sequence is TTCACG, it is expected to be transcribed into AAGUGC.
But, it was transcribed into AAGGC. If we count nucleobases, a transcribed sequence has 5 nucleobases, while DNA sequence has 6 nucleobases. These means that deletion happened.
If insertion occurred, there will be 7 nucleobases in transcribed sequence. In substitution or translocation, the transcribed sequence will be the same size, but with different sequence than the DNA sequence.
