Answer:

The type of mutation responsible for changing a base in the mRNA strand, without changing the coding aminoacid or protein, is called a silent mutation.

Explanation:

In a silent mutation occurs the change of a nitrogenous base in one of the codons that encodes an aminoacid, without changing the aminoacid or altering the structure or function of the protein to be synthesized.

In this type of mutations the change of the base does not mean the change of the aminoacid, because some aminoacids can be coded with more than one codon. In the case of Leucine, the codons that encode it are CUU, CUC, CUG or CUA, so even if a base changes, the final protein will be the correct one.

For the other options:

Missense: the change of the base in the DNA chain implies the change of the codon in the mRNA and of the encoded aminoacid, in that way a structural and functional alteration of the synthesized protein occurs.

Nonsense: the change in the nitrogenous base in the DNA leads to the coding of a termination codon, so that the protein is ultimately incomplete.
Insertion: in this case there is the addition of more nitrogenous bases to the DNA chain, with respect to the original one.

Help.. Im confused.. A student is preparing a wooden car for a toy-car derby. Position 1 on the racetrack profile shows the star

lara [203]

Answer:

The correct option is D) The energy of the car will decrease, and the energy of the block will increase.

Explanation:

As we know energy cannot be created or destroyed but it can change from one form to another. When the wooden car will collide with the wooden block, some of the kinetic energy with which the car was moving will be passed to the wooden block. As a result, the wooden block will also get pushed along the track. Meanwhile, as the wooden car had transferred some of its energy, its energy level will decrease and it will move slower than before pushing the wooden block along with it.
