Answer:

2) CAG - TTC - ACG mutates to CAG - TTC - ACC - ACG

Explanation:

Insertions are mutations in which extra base pairs are inserted into a new place in the DNA. The number of base pairs inserted can range from one to thousands!

In option no. 1: We see that there is not addition of a single or more than one base, but the new base sequence is different from the original sequence at three places i.e: TTA - CAC - G

In option no. 2: The insertion of three bases ACC has been made exactly after TTC, the whole sequence and arrangement of bases remain same except this insertion.

In option no. 3: The first base of the sequence T is replaced with A, and all other sequence is same. This type of mutation is called substitution in which one base is replaced by other.

In option no. 4: The last base of the sequence C is deleted, and is not present in new sequence. This type of mutation is called deletion in which a base is removed from the sequence.

Conclusion: Therefore, the best option is 2, in which whole codon is inserted in the DNA base sequence.

loris [4]

Answer:

Golgi receives a vesicle containing newly synthesized proteins that were sent by the endoplasmatic reticulum. Then it modifies the proteins and sends them where they need to go.

Explanation:

Protein synthesis is initiated in the cytoplasm when mRNA meets a free ribosome, which is the primary structure for protein synthesis. They read the mRNA code and add the correct amino acid using transference RNA to build the protein. The synthesizing protein is driven to the rough endoplasmic reticulum and translocated to the lumen. Once there, the protein suffers a few modifications, one of them is folding to become functional. Once membrane proteins are folded in the interior of the endoplasmic reticulum, they are packaged into vesicles and sent to the Golgi complex, where it occurs the final association of carbohydrates with proteins. The Golgi complex sends proteins to their different destinies. Proteins destined to a certain place are packaged all together in the same vesicle and sent to the target organ. In the case of membrane proteins, they are packaged in vesicles and sent to the cell membrane where they get incrusted.

Why do most particles in solar wind not reach Earth’s surface?

Inessa [10]

Answer:

Due to the dense atmosphere

The magnetic field of the earth

Explanation:

Most particles in the solar wind do not reach the earth's surface because the atmosphere is very dense and the protecting magnetic field of the earth.

A solar wind is a burst of energetic particles from the sun which are made up electrons, ions, etc.. They travel at a very high velocity.

The magnetic field of the earth is able to deflect these charged particles away.
In areas such as the pole, the interact with the atmosphere to produce very stunning auroras.
