Answer:

Insertion

Explanation:

Mutation is a phenomenon in which the nucleotide sequence of a gene in DNA is changed into a new sequence due to insertion, deletion or exchange of a gene segment.

Insertion is a type of mutation in which one or more than pne base sequence in added into the DNA of an organism. This insertion may or may not be dangerous depending on the place of insertion and how it is causing adverse effects on the protein product of the gene.

Here is an example of insertion mutation:

Base sequence: AUG GCC TGC

Product: met ala gln

Insertion:

Base sequence: AUG GCC C TG C

Product: met ala Leu

So we can see that the product protein is changed because of insertion.

Hope it helps!

Answer:This type of mutation occurs when one or more base pairs are added to the gene sequence. INSERTION

This type of mutation occurs when one or more base pairs are removed from the gene sequence. DELETION

This type of mutation occurs when one or more base pairs take the place of other base pairs in the gene sequence. SUBSTITUTION

zlopas [31]

Answer:

Seminal vesicle

Explanation:

Seminal vesicle secretes an alkaline and viscous fluid that constitutes about 60% of the volume of semen. The fluid secreted by seminal vesicle contains fructose which is a monosaccharide sugar, prostaglandins, and clotting proteins. The alkaline nature of the seminal fluid neutralizes the acidic environment of the male urethra and the female reproductive tract. This is required as the acidic conditions inactivate and kill sperm.

The fructose sugar serves a fuel for ATP production by sperm. Prostaglandins are responsible for sperm motility and viability as they stimulate smooth muscle contractions within the female reproductive tract. Therefore, a malfunctioning seminal vesicle would result in low semen volume and reduced motility due to the scarcity of energy.

Sliva [168]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

We define antibiotic susceptibility testing as an evaluation of the ability of antibiotics to inhibit bacterial growth. This test is necessary because certain bacteria may have developed resistance to certain antibiotics.

Hence, if the antibiotic susceptibility testing result of Staphylococcus aureus showed absence of growth on the zones of penicillin, ampicillin, tetracycline and chloramphenicol disk, then it implies that these antibiotics are all largely effective against Staphylococcus aureus and could be used for treatment of Staphylococcus aureus infection.
