Rotenone is a poison commonly added to insecticides. Rotenone binds tightly with one of the electron carrier molecules in the el

ectron transport chain, preventing electrons from passing to the next carrier molecule. Insects exposed to rotenone will die because
they will no longer be able to produce adequate amounts of ATP. T/F

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Rotenone is a broad spectrum pesticide and insecticide and is also considered as a non-selective piscicide.

The action mechanism of the rotenone has been described below -

It interferes with the electron transport chain which occurs in mitochondria of the cells. Here the transfer of electrons from complex I to the ubiquinone is inhibited by the rotenone. As a result, ATP formation with the help of NADH is also inhibited. When electron transport fails, oxygen in the cell is reduced to oxygen radical which further damages DNA and other components present in the mitochondria.

Rosa drew a diagram to compare substitution mutations and insertion mutations.
djverab [1.8K]
<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

\huge\boxed{Option A}

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Mutations:</h2>

Mutations are the changes produced in the nucleotide sequence of the genome.

There are four main types of mutations

Substitution

Insertion

Deletion

Duplication.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3>DELETION:</h3>

A small segment of chromosome mat be missing. This condition is known as deletion.

For example, Normal chromosome has A B C D E F G. If deletion mutation occurs then mutated chromosome has A D E F G and B C got deleted.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3>DUPLICATION:</h3>

In this condition, a part of chromosome present in exec ess to the normal chromosome.

For example, Normal Chromosome has A B C D E F G. If duplication mutation occurs, then mutated chromosome had A B C B C D E F G and B C is duplicated.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3>SUBSTITUTION MUTATION:</h3>

Substitution is a type of mutation where one base pair is replaced by a different base pair.

For example, in the sequence CAAGT, if C replaces G, it is a substitution mutation.

<h3>INSERTION MUTATION:</h3>

In genetics, an insertion is the addition of one or more nucleotide base pairs into a DNA sequence.

For example, in the sequence CAAGT, if extra base G gets inserted after C, the new sequence would be CGAAGT.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2>

Both substitution and insertion mutations change the position of nucleotide thus, the type of amino acid.

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Option-4

Explanation:

Cow milk allergy or the cow milk protein allergy occurs when the allergy is caused by the proteins of the cow' milk when provided to the infant baby during the first 6 months.

The allergy is caused when the immune system of the infants consider the proteins of the cow milk as a foreign substance or antigens. These antigens activate the immune response which releases the chemicals and infant develop the symptoms of allergy.

Thus, option-4 is the correct answer.
