Base on one of the Law of Thermodynamics, the amount of available energy decreases whenever energy is changed in form (which includes a transfer from one trophic level to another). So, as we go from the first trophic level to the top trophic level, the amount of available energy becomes less and less.

Compare and contrast point mutations and chromosome mutations and explain the basis for classifying a mutation as beneficial, ne

zepelin [54]

<span>Point mutations are of two types: Substitutions of bases that are the change of one base of DNA by another. And Transitions that are replaced on a pyrrhic basis by another pyrrhic or a pyrimidine by another pyrimidine. Transversions: substitution of a pyrrhic base by another pyrimidine or vice versa. These mutations are negative because they affect only one of the nucleotides, and therefore, only one triplet of bases are affected. When the mutation does not affect the individual it is a silent mutation. Chromosomal mutations Changes in the structure of the diploid chromosomes, where one of the chromosomes has a mutation, will have another normal. They can hinder the process of meiosis in the carrier since it hinders the correct pairing of the homologous chromosomes. It would produce an unfeasible offspring or with mutations.</span>

What bond holds each amino acid together to make a protein?

Naddik [55]

Answer:

PEPTIDE BOND.

Explanation:

Amino acids can link with each other through a peptide bond to form a protein or polypeptide .

this is a condensation reaction that involves the elimination of water molecule.i.e a H2O molecule is produced in this reaction.

the peptide linkage occurs when the OH group of acidic side of one amino acid reacts with the H-atom of the other amino acid and C-N link to form a bond called a PEPTIDE BOND.
