Answer:
A living organism whose genes have been purposefully altered
Explanation:
an egg cell has a haploid nucleus so it has half the number of dna because it fuses with a sperm cell to have the full amount of dna.
an egg cell has 23 chromosomes and a sperm cell has 23 chromosomes.
they both have half the amount of dna to form a zygote
Answer:
E. climax
Explanation:
Even though it is not something that is very common in nature, there are still certain exceptions where certain communities manage to reach a point of equilibrium. This basically is a community of small number of dominant prominent species that create a stable ecosystem. This state of equilibrium is known as climax community. This type of community appears when the web of biotic interactions between the organisms becomes so intricate that there is no possibility of other species to be admitted in it.
Answer: The correct answer is B) Frameshift mutation.
The given mRNA sequence is GGU-GCU-CCU-AUU. When a nucleotide is added at the fourth location in the chain, it entirely changes the frame from the insertion of the nucleotide till the end of the gene sequence. This is called a frameshift mutation.
This is because after adding a nucleotide, a new frame is generated that will code for different amino acids and therefore a different protein will be synthesized.
On the contrary, chromosomal mutation is an abnormality in the chromosome ( in terms of number or structure) whereas substitution mutation is the one, which exchanges one base with another. Deletion of base also results in the frame-shift mutation.
The answer to your question is B.
