The organism underwent an insertion mutation because the C was inserted into the codon which will throw off the balance of the other codon and make it code for something completely different

Answer: The correct answer for the blanks are-

1) an insertion mutation.

2) This mutation won't alter the protein function.

Muttation can be described as a permanent change in the genetic material ( that is deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA) of an organism.

Insertion mutation is one of the types of mutation in which there is an addition of one or more nucleotide bases in the already existing DNA sequence.

In this question, Cytosine ( C) is inserted at the fourth position of already existing DNA sequence.

As this mutation has occurred in the non coding region ( a region of DNA sequence that does not code for any protein) according to the question, therefore, this mutation will not interrupt the formation of a functional protein.

Prokaryotic cells cell walls contain peptidoglycan sensitive to traditional antibacterial antibiotic. True or False
kherson [118]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cell or bacterial cell contain cell wall which is made up of peptidoglycan and traditional antibacterial antibiotics were able to interfere with the cell wall synthesis and cause the destruction of bacterial cells.

For example, one of the most traditional antibiotic is penicillin which inhibit the synthesis of bacterial cell wall by blocking transpeptidation reaction. As it inhibits new cell wall formation it results in the formation of holes in the cell wall.  

These holes in the cell allow movement molecules inside the cell and cause osmotic cell lysis. Therefore the statement is true.

The range of cattle egrets has expanded between 1937 and today. How would an ecologist likely explain the expansion of the cattl
Anit [1.1K]

A habitat left unoccupied by native herons and egrets met the biotic and abiotic requirements of the cattle egret transplants and their descendants  

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

The cattle egret was a species of Heron to be first seen in Greater Caribbean Basin. They acquired their name “Cattle egret” as they were found to be co-existing with the grazing cattle and feeding on the insects that come out during grazing and also feed on the ticks present on the cattle’s body.

The cattle egret within a span of few years showed a dramatic increase in its population. This was attributed by their high reproduction rate leading to their extensive population growth. They also do not have any predators devouring them. They also feed on anything and everything to survive be it insects, rodents or small reptiles. They were good flyers and they were also able to get accustomed to their surroundings and reproduce.
