Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

The given situation in the question where an Adenine nucleotide is swapped for a Thymine nucleotide, which as stated are complimentary of each other just like guanine and cytosine, can cause all three types of mutations, frameshift nonsense, frameshift missense and silent because the situation is not specific to either of them. There is no information whether the change resulted in a change in the amino acid structures or not. In this case the best answer is D.

I hope this answer helps.

zzz [600]
The statement that describes the cell after twenty minutes is this: WATER WILL MOVE FROM THE CELL INTO THE BEAKER RESULTING IN A SMALLER CELL.
Osmosis is defined as the process by which the molecules of a solvent move through a semi permeable membrane from the region of lower concentration to the region of higher concentration. For the question given above, the concentration of 30% salt is greater than that of 10% in the cell, so the water molecules will move from the cell [region of lower concentration] into the salt solution [region of higher concentration]. The loss of water will make the cell to shrink and to become smaller.
