jonny [76]3 years ago

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

  1. manufactured proteins to be short and defective
  2. the DNA to break up into thousands of short segments
  3. incorrect pairing between mRNA codons and amino acids
  4. no bad effects, as long as the stop codons are not also inserted into tRNA
  5. all of the above

Answer:

manufactured proteins to be short and defective

Explanation:

The virus particle replicates in the host machinery by using its DNA replication machinery and then transcription and translation machinery.

If by chance, the virus particle inserts stop codon along with the segments of DNA therefore the stop codon will show its effect during the translation process when the DNA sequence is translated into the proteins.

When the stop codon will be read during the translation then the protein synthesis will stop at that time and short or defective proteins will be produced.

Thus, the selected option is correct.

<em>When green sea turtles eat algae they are getting carbohydrates from it. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Different sea turtles have different diets. Some are omnivores while some are herbivores. Green sea turtles belong to the group of herbivorous sea turtles.  

<em>The diet of hatchlings is different from that of the adults. Hatchlings are omnivorous and feed on mollusks and crustaceans.</em> The adult sea turtles have to scrape off algae from rock surfaces and hence has a beak shaped like the teeth of a saw.

<em>Other type of sea turtles are loggerheads and leatherbacks that mainly feed on sponges and jellyfish respectively .</em>

A characteristic that can be observed or measured without changing the composition of the substance is called?
melamori03 [73]
Physical property is the characteristic that can be observed, using the five sense, without changing or trying to change the composition of the substance. Chemical property on the other hand is a characteristic of how the substance reacts. It can not be observed without changing the substance into something else. A physical change is a change in which the form or appearance of matter changes, but not its composition.
