A normal strand of DNA is shown below, followed by the same strand of DNA after mutations have occurred. Identify the mutation a

nd the effect it would have on protein synthesis.
A) This mutation is a point mutation resulting from a base substitution. This would results in the different reading of the one codon affected by the mutation, causing the substitution of a different amino acid in an otherwise unaltered protein.
B) This mutation is a deletion mutation resulting in a frameshift. This would result in a different reading of the codons following the mutation, causing a different translation from the original strand. The protein being created could be abnormally short, abnormally long, and will most likely not be functional.
C) This mutation is an addition mutation resulting in a frameshift. This would result in a different reading of the codons following the mutation, causing a different translation from the original strand. The protein being created could be abnormally short, abnormally long, and will most likely not be functional.
D) This mutation is a substitution mutation resulting in a frameshift. This would result in a different reading of the codons following the mutation, causing a different translation from the original strand. The protein being created could be abnormally short, abnormally long, and will most likely not be functional.

B) This mutation is a deletion mutation resulting in a frameshift. This would result in a different reading of the codons following the mutation, causing a different translation from the original strand. The protein being created could be abnormally short, abnormally long, and will most likely not be functional.

Frameshift mutations, depending on their placement, tend to create massive changes in protein structure by changing all of the codons following the mutation. Frameshift mutations are apparent in severe genetic diseases such as Tay–Sachs disease and they increase susceptibility to certain cancers and classes of familial high cholesterol levels.

What is the endosymbiont hypothesis?
lora16 [44]
The endosymbiotic hypothesis concerns the origin of mitochondria and chloroplasts, two organelles contained within various eukaryotic cells. According to this hypothesis, these organelles originated as separate prokaryotic organisms that were taken inside a primordial eukaryotic cell.

Polysaccharides are polymers of monosaccharides. Homopolysaccarides are made up of only one type of monomer, whereas heteropolys
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

All four types of polysaccharides are homopolymers ie they are made up of repeating units of only one type of monomers.

Starch, glycogen and cellulose are made up of repeating monomeric units of glucose with the number of glucose units and the different linkage types different these molecules. E.g the linkage between glucose units in glycogen is alpha 1-4 linkages and in cellulose, we have glucose in beta 1-4 linkages.

In chitin, a derivative of glucose is present in repeating units, here, we have N-acetyl-D-glucosamine in beta 1-4 linkages.

Two predators feed on small antelope. One predator weighs 100 kg, and the other weighs 35 kg. Explain what might happen if the t
n200080 [17]

Answer:

The two predators in the same area will cooperate.

Explanation:

Cooperation of the two predators sharing the same area is due to

- possible scarcity of prey

- harm that might befall both in the case of conflict. etc

A good example:

Two predators are humans and dogs

Prey: Rabbits

Already, dogs and humans share the same area, so they cooperate while dogs use their speed and good senses of smell, and humans rely on their clever killers instinct to find prey better.

Mumz [18]

Explanation:

Los geólogos localizan el epicentro de un terremoto tomando mediciones de tres sismógrafos. Estos se miden en las estaciones sísmicas y dan la distancia que las olas del terremoto viajaron para llegar a la estación.
