Biology
2 answers:
Lesechka [4]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

A mutation is a change or alteration in the sequence of the DNA of the organism which leads to change the function of the sequence.

The mutation is caused by many mechanisms but one of the mechanism is by adding or deleting the nucleotide in the sequence of the DNA.

The addition or deletion shifts the frame of the DNA while scanning it to form mRNA molecule which then codes a different protein. Therefore the type of mutation is known as "frameshift mutation".

In the given question, since the only deletion is provided therefore, option-D is the correct answer.

I would say D

A frameshift mutation is a mutation caused by an insertion or deletion, which causes a shift in the translational reading frame. ... Instead of just changing one amino acid, frameshifts cause a change in all the amino acids in the rest of the gene

The angle of Earth's tilt has changed throughout Earth's history and is still changing today. If Earth's tilt were to decrease
olganol [36]

Answer:

The world climate would drastically change.

Explanation:

  • First off, both poles would have rapid expansion, with the freezing of more water near the poles.
  • Many species of trees and plants would die out in certain areas, since they tend to be in their ideal locations, so the change in climate will make the northern parts of many habitats destroyed.
  • Deserts would expand and the average temperature would rise.
  • Also, many animals would also die out, because of the change in their environments.
  • Conifers would shift southward, causing many forests / parts of forests to turn into wastelands, causing the earth's oxygen production to decrease.

-BARSIC- [3]

The moon has a higher maximum surface temperature compared to Earth (253 degrees of moon to 136 degrees of Earth), but this also depends on night (which is colder) or day (which is hotter).

The moon has such extreme temperatures because it has no atmosphere that can "reflect" some of the heat from the sun, whereas the earth does.

Cellular respiration how cells harvest energy
velikii [3]

Answer:

Cellular Respiration: a process able to extract a large amount of energy from food molecules.  In eukaryotic cells oxygen is a required component. This metabolic process is the main reason that animals have elaborate gas exchange organs such as lungs, gills and other systems. The goal of these systems is, of course, to get access to oxygen and to get rid of carbon dioxide.
