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.

if you examined a cross section of a eudicot plant stem, in what order would you encounter different plant tissues from the pith
SSSSS [86.1K]

From the pith outward, if you looked at a cross-section of a eudicot plant stem, you would see Xylem, vascular, cambium, and phloem in that order. The vascular cylinder divides the ground tissue into two discrete areas and is structured in a ring in eudicot stems.

The pith refers to the area of ground tissue that is included within the vascular cylinder. In general, eudicots possess three or more of the following traits: There are 2, 4, or 5 flower parts, or multiples of 4 or 5, and leaves have netted venation (pinnate or palmate). A ring of stem vascular bundles surrounds the pith, and seeds have two seed leaves (cotyledons).

As a result, we can assert that if you cut a cross-section of a eudicot plant stem, Xylem, vascular, cambium, and phloem in that order, you will find various plant tissues from the pith outward.

What processes are involved in getting a tan and then having it fade away?​
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

To understand the tanning process one first needs to realize that the skin is comprised of several different types of cells. Each type of cell has a specific function. The cells involved primarily in the tanning process are called melanocytes. Melanocytes are located at the base of the epidermis between the epidermis and the dermis below. Melanocytes use the amino acid tyrosine to produce melanin. This melanin leaves the melanocytes and travels up through the epidermis where it reacts with the UVA and UVB radiation through a chemical reaction darkening the pigmentation of the skin. As we already know the skin consists of three layers of tissue: The epidermis or outer layer, the dermis or inner layer and the subcutaneous layer

A plant's stomata allow it to .fix nitrogen,absorb gasses or digest food
ludmilkaskok [199]
The stomata of a plant are microscopic slits on the leaves that serve the purpose of absorbing carbon dioxide from the surrounding air so that it can perform photosynthesis to make its own food and release oxygen into the atmosphere. The correct answer is B, absorb gasses.
Hope that helped! =)
