Answer:

Silent mutation

Explanation:

The two types of mutations given in the question have different meanings. A missense mutation is a mutation that occurs where a codon is changed, and that results in a change in the amino acid it codes for (eg. changing AAA which codes for Lys, to AAC which codes for Asn).

A silent mutation occurs when a nucleotide is changed, but the overall expression of the amino acid does not change (eg. changing AAA to AAG, both codons code for Lys).

GTA mutating to GTG keeps the amino acid Valine. Both codons code for the same amino acid, so it is classified as a silent mutation.

According to the general equation for conditional probability, if p (a^b')=1/6 and p(b')=7/12 , what is the value of p(a[b)?

<span>5/42 is the numerator and the denominator is 5/12.

Why does having a genetically diverse population make a species more likely to survive a change to the environment?
Eddi Din [679]
Genetic adaptability is very important to the survival and adaptability of any specie. This is because, in a diverse population, the possibility of finding individuals with the right genetic adaptability to the changing environment is higher, the population will have more possible adaptations.

How can scientists use vertebrate embryo development to build evidence for the claim that vertebrates are somewhat closely relat
Yuri [45]

Answer:

All early vertebrate embryos develop tails and gill slits, and therefore this type of anatomical evidence supports common ancestry  

Explanation:

Embryology is a discipline that studies the structural/anatomical features and development of embryos. Embryos are a fundamental piece of evidence to support common ancestry among vertebrates because there are homologous structural features that can only be observed during the first stages of vertebrate development. For example, all vertebrate embryos (e.g., fish, chicken and human embryos), develop tails and gill slits during their first stages of embryo development. In consequence, embryology provides evidence for evolution of vertebrates.
