Answer:
The diffusion of water across the selectively permeable membrane of an alga is called osmosis
Explanation:
Answer:
EDTA is a chelating agent used to preserve samples for DNA extraction and as an anticoagulant
Explanation:
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a well-known chelating agent that binds metal ions (iron and calcium ions). In police cases, EDTA can be used for DNA extraction since this agent chelates metal ions in DNase enzymes which are contained in the samples, thereby reducing their activity and preserving DNA samples for a long time. Moreover, EDTA is also used as an anticoagulant for blood cells, which allows preserving the cellular components and the morphology of blood samples.
Answer:
(A) A transversion base substitution causing a missense mutation
(B) A transition base substitution causing a silent mutation
(C) A transversion base substitution causing a silent mutation
Explanation:
There are two types of base substitutions, transversions and transitions. A transition is when the a purine base is substituted with another purine base or a pyrimidine base is substituted with a pyrimidine base (e.g. Purines - A to G; G to A; Pyrimidines - C to T; T to C). A transversion occurs when a purine base is substituted with a pyrimidine base or a pyrimidine base is substituted with a purine base (e.g. A to T; C to A).
There are three main types of mutations, these are missense mutations, nonsense mutations and silent mutations. Missense mutations occur when a base is changed and the codon now codes for a different amino acid to before the mutation. Nonsense mutations occur when a base is changed and now the codon codes for a stop codon causing a premature stop of the translation process. Silent mutations occur when a base is changed but the new codon still codes for the same amino acid as before the mutation.
False.
Chromosomes carry genetic codes, not proteins :)
