Answer:

The type of mutation responsible for changing a base in the mRNA strand, without changing the coding aminoacid or protein, is called a <u>silent</u> 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:

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

Name the blood vessels which supplies blood to the liver.
BigorU [14]

The liver receives the oxygen and nutrients it needs in blood that comes from two large blood vessels:

Portal vein.

Hepatic artery.

The liver is connected to two large blood vessels, the hepatic artery and the portal vein. The hepatic artery carries blood from the aorta to the liver, whereas the portal vein carries blood containing the digested nutrients from the entire gastrointestinal tract, and also from the spleen and pancreas to the liver.

Which is the best explanation for how air masses move across the United States
Akimi4 [234]
Warm air rises, expands, then cools. As cool air sinks it may cause precipitation. Some air masses such as the MT which originate in warm environments carry humid air and cause heavy precipitation in some areas.

Use the complementary rule: If we had a DNA strand of 20 nucleotides, and 6 of them
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

6 thymine, 4 guanine. 4 cytosine

Explanation:

Adenine pairs with thymine, so you need 6 of each

Cytosine matches with guanine, but the total of nucleotides is 20, so

6(adenine)+6(thymine)=12

20-12=8

8= 4(guanine)+4(cytosine)
