For example: GGATACCTAGGTAAT
Insertion: GGAT<u>G</u>ACCTAGGTAAT
a nucleotide that was not present before is inserted into the original sequence
Substitution: <u>C</u>GATACCTAGGTAAT
the first nucleotide was substituted in for another (C for G)
Frameshift (basically a insertion or deletion, we'll try deletion here): GATACCTAGGTAAT
the first nucleotide was deleted, causing the reading frame to be shifted (instead of GGA as the first codon, we have GAT)
Answer:
B. Are the insect’s antennae longer than its head?
Explanation:
Dichotomous key refers to the tool or method which helps the scientist to identify organisms.
It uses a specific series of questions which help in segregation of organisms and ultimately help the scientist to identify the organism on the basis of the observations or properties share by the organism.
Example of a simple dichotomous key is shown below.
Similarly, insects can have antennae longer or shorter than their heads. Thus, the question "Are the insect’s antennae longer than its head?" would help in segregating insects based on their antennae length.
happy to help ya:)
