GAU to GAC is least likely to change phenotype of an organism.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Phenotype of an organism is defined as the physical characteristics of an organism. This phenotype is dependent on the genotype of the organisms. This means the phenotypic characters are actually the expressions of the genes of the organisms. Now the genes are expressed in form of codons that are the three nitrogen base sequences. Each codon codes for a particular amino acid which in turn polymerises to from the protein which actually forms the phenotype of the organism.

Now there are 20 amino acids and 64 codons. Thus there are more than 1 codons for a single amino acid. So, if a codon is replaced by another codon which codes for same amino acid, then the phenotype is least likely to be affected.

Both the GAU and GAC codes for aspartic acid. So the phenotype won't be affected much by this mutation

Cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) are enzymes involved with the control of mitosis; Drs. Lee Hartwell and Paul Nurse won the Nobel

Deffense [45]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Dr. Leland Hartwell used baker’s yeast, <em>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</em>, as a model system, which was a highly suitable model for cell cycle studies. He introduced the concept of Checkpoints where he said cells are arrested if damaged so that the cells repair system can work to correct such damages. Dr. Paul Nurse used a different type of yeast, <em>Schizosaccharomyces pombe</em>, a type of yeast distantly related to the baker's yeast as a model organism.

Romashka [77]

Explanation:

In all living system we can always find basic elements carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen, carbon is the basic building unit contained in living matter. The percentage of carbon in the mass of living matter is 19.0% oxygen and hydrogen are present in almost all organic compound which creates living organisms.

Which of the following statements is true of cytokinesis? a. takes place in plant cells only b. completes the cell cycle c. orga

ICE Princess25 [194]

Hey there!

We are going to find out and learn which of the of the following options would match the word $\boxed{cytokinesis}$

One thing about the cytokineses is that they always finish there cell cycle.

So, based from the information, your correct answer would be completes the cell cycle.

<span> A. takes place in plant cells only

B. completes the cell cycle

C. organizes DNA

D. occurs during </span>pro phase

Your correct answer is $\boxed{\boxed{completes \ the \ cell \ cycle}}$

Hope this helps.
