<em>The continental crust is up to 70 km thick.</em>  

<u>Explanation</u>:

Upto 40% of the earth is made up of continental crust. <em>Sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic ricks </em>make up the continental crust. It makes up the upper layer of <em>continents and shallow seabed</em> areas near the shores.  

<em>Continental crust</em> is thicker than oceanic crust with a thickness ranging from <em>25 km to 70km continental crust</em> makes up 70% of earth’s volume and is usually located above sea level with a few exceptions like the <em>Zealand continental crust</em> region which is largely under water.

g A mutation occurs upstream of gene A in the region encoding the ribosome binding site, making it bind more weakly to the ribos
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

it is expected that the mutation results in a reduced initiation of translation and thereby decreasing the level of the protein A, while it does not change the level of mRNA A

Explanation:

Translation in bacteria starts with the formation of the initiation complex which is composed of the small ribosomal subunit, the messenger RNA (mRNA), initiation factors and the initiator transference RNA (tRNA) containing N-formyl-methionine. The small ribosomal subunit binds to a polypurine stretch of variable length in the mRNA called 'the Shine-Dalgarno sequence'. A mutation in this sequence reduces the affinity of the ribosome for the mRNA, thereby, in this case, decreasing the level of protein A. Since transcription occurs before translation, it is expected that this mutation does not change the level of expression of the mRNA A.
