Answer: DNA can be used to identify criminals with incredible accuracy when biological evidence exists.
Explanation:
In cases where a suspect is identified, a sample of that person's DNA can be compared to evidence from the crime scene. The results of this comparison may help establish whether the suspect committed the crime.
No Problem at all!
Answer:
Explanation:
1) Excitation brings about contraction.
2) Contraction leads to an increase in blood pressure.
3) Changes in blood pressure results in the opening and closing of the heart valves.
4) The opening and closing of heart valves then regulates the flow of blood and it's volume.
Answer:
Answer is C.
Explanation:
For A and B, a base substitution affects one of the three bases that comprise a codon, the DNA/RNA unit that corresponds to a particular amino acid. If one base is substituted, one codon and therefore one amino acid will be affected. Codons have built-in redundancy, so even by changing one base, the new codon sometimes still corresponds to the same amino acid. Therefore, a base substitution at most affects one amino acid, and sometimes doesn't affect it all.
Frameshift mutations cause a lot more trouble. These occur when you have a deletion or insertion that changes the number of bases in your gene. As a result, the "frame" of the codons changes (everything shifts one way or the other by the number of bases added/removed). This affects EVERY codon downstream of the mutation, so you can imagine that such a mutation would have a bigger effect the closer to the start of the gene it occurs. This is why C is correct.
Answer:
Ribosomes are the site where <em>proteins </em>are produced. Amino acids are coded for by triplet bases in RNA called <em>codons</em>. Hope this helps
