What type of mutation is shown in the sequence below
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Single nucleotide deletion

Explanation:

Original DNA sequence:

A T A C G G T A

T A T G C C A T

Mutated DNA sequence:

A T C G G T A G

T A G C C A T C

​In the mutated sequence, there is a nucleotide missing. It goes from ATACGGTA to ATCGGTAG. The A nucleotide is gone. This represents a single base pair deletion.

Even though it is only one base, this changes the way the entire sequence is interpreted. The DNA transcribed into an mRNA and then translated into a protein by reading triplet codons which correspond to specific amino acids.

So while the initial sequence would be read as:

ATA, CGG, TA...

The new sequence would be read as:

ATC, GGT, AG...

So the sequence of the protein is completely altered.

7) Other than sunlight for energy, photosynthesis in plants needs these two things that we breathe
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Oxygen is needed to break the sugar into carbon dioxide, releasing energy the plants can use to stay alive. However, plants also take in energy from the sun(light), carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and water from the soil; they use all of them in order to make sugar, and release oxygen.

What is true about chromatin
qwelly [4]
At the smallest level of organization, the DNA wraps itself around small globular proteins called histones. Complexes of histones and DNA form nucleosomes, which appear as "beads" on the DNA strand. Chromatin refers to the decondensed DNA that has not formed separate chromosomes.

What type of energy is coming into the food web?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The vast majority of energy that exists in food webs originates from the sun and is converted (transformed) into chemical energy by the process of photosynthesis in plants. A small proportion of this chemical energy is transformed directly into heat when compounds are broken down during resp​iration in plants.
