The answer is D) Nonsense mutation
Explanation:
A mutation in genetics refers to the change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene or DNA segment. The occurrence of mutation in a gene leads to different effects, which is the basis of the different types of mutation. The type of mutation described in this question is called a NONSENSE MUTATION, which is a type of base substitution mutation.
Nonsense mutation is the mutation in which one nucleotide base in the sequence gets replaced by a STOP CODON (UAA, UAG, UGA), leading to the truncation of the amino acid sequence and hence, the production of a non-functional protein.
This is the case in this mutated gene sequence whose normal sequence codes for: Pro-Met-Glu-Arg-Asp. The mutation causes the codon specifying Glutamine to be replaced by either of the STOP codons, thereby, stopping the translation process. The stop to the translation process causes the amino acid sequence to be truncated and a non-functional amino acid sequence is formed: Pro-Met-
Answer: Ptolemaic system, also called geocentric system or geocentric model, mathematical model of the universe formulated by the Alexandrian astronomer and mathematician Ptolemy about 150 CE and recorded by him in his Almagest and Planetary Hypotheses. The Ptolemaic system is a geocentric cosmology; that is, it starts by assuming that Earth is stationary and at the centre of the universe. The “natural” expectation for ancient societies was that the heavenly bodies (Sun, Moon, planets, and stars) must travel in uniform motion along the most “perfect” path possible, a circle. However, the paths of the Sun, Moon, and planets as observed from Earth are not circular. Ptolemy’s model explained this “imperfection” by postulating that the apparently irregular movements were a combination of several regular circular motions seen in perspective from a stationary Earth.
