Though the lockdown has undoubtedly had somewhat of a negative impact on certain acpects of our society, there’s no denying that our environment has seen certain benefits since we’ve tucked ourselves away in our homes. According to the Earth Observatory at NASA, satellites have detected decreased levels of air pollution as well as carbon monoxide emission. This is attributed to the closure of most industries as well as the lack of cars and other transportation on the road. Though it isn’t just the air we’re beginning to notice changes in- for the first time in a very long time, the canals in Venice are crystal clear. With fewer boats and tourists about, the water is free of pollution for the first time in centuries. With these facts in mind, I can safely say that I believe the lockdown has definitely positively benefited the environment, but it’s up to us to keep it that way once it ends.
Answer:
a sequence of DNA responsible for coding a protein = gene
The complex range of alleles an organism carries for... = genotype
an allele that determines... = dominant gene
the observable characteristics= phenotype
Answer:
On the basis of the phenomenon of the degeneracy of codons, the coding of single amino acid can take place by various codons like four different codons, that is, CCC, CCU, CCG and CCA can code for single amino acid proline.
In case, if there is a mutation in DNA, due to which CCA get transformed to CCG, even in such case coding for the same amino acid proline will take place. Hence, one can conclude that at the level of DNA mutation is taking place, however, the same is not getting witnessed in a protein, and that is why such kind of mutations are termed as silent mutation.
"When the plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution , it takes up water by osmosis and starts to swell, but the cell wall prevents it from bursting. The plant cell is said to have become "turgid" i.e. swollen and hard. The pressure inside the cell rises until this internal pressure is equal to the pressure outside. "
