adoni [48]

Answer:

B) a nonsense mutation; this is because a nonsense mutation results in the change of a regular amino acid codon into a stop codon, which ceases translation. This fits with the problem's description of the protein that causes the symptoms as too short, as translation is the process by which proteins/polypeptides are created. A missense mutation would not be the answer because it still codes for an amino acid, which would not shorten the protein. A duplication of the gene would probably just lengthen the protein or not affect its length at all.

Some objects in space are created from clouds of gas and dust. What will happen if the cloud does not have enough mass?
Westkost [7]

Some objects in space are created from clouds of gas and dust. A star forms when the mass of the dust cloud is large and has enough hydrogen to start creating a protostar and sustain the nuclear fusion reaction within the core of the protostar. If the dust cloud is not dense enough, then the star formation does not take place, rather a nebula is formed, example the Horse-head nebula. So the answer is (B) A star will not form.
