Answer:

The mass of the cube would increase if the water moved into the potato cube or the mass of the potato cube would decrease if the water moved out of the potato cube after placing it in the beaker.

Osmosis can be described as a process by which water moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration along the concentration gradient. It is a type of passive transport.

If the potato cube is placed in water, most likely the water will enter into the cell as the concentration of solutes will be more in the potato cube and the concentration of water will be less. Hence, the mass of the potato cube would increase.

Answer:

The correct answer is RNA polymerase does not require a primer to add new nucleotides.

Explanation:

RNA polymerase is an important enzyme of transcription process that deals with the formation of mRNA from DNA. unlike DNA replication, transcription process does not require any RNA primer to carry out the synthesis of mRNA in 5'→3" direction.

RNA polymerase use coding strand of DNA molecule as a template to synthesize new mRNA molecule from that parental DNA molecule.

A point mutation is shown in the mutated DNA sequence below. Will this mutation affect the

klemol [59]

Answer:

A. Yes, because an amino acid change has occurred.

Explanation:

The sequence given states that the codon CCG is changed to CAG. According to the codon table (attached), CCG codes for <u>proline</u> whereas CAG codes for <u>Glutamine</u>. Therefore, change in mutation has resulted into the change in amino acid. This would lead to the formation of a different protein.
