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.

it is not number 2 or 3. Me and my friend just took the test and picked different answers. Both 2 and 3 are wrong. pick between 1 and 4.

Which units are used in a pyramid of biomass?

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

g/m2

Explanation:

Biomass is the constant dry mass of organisms at a particular trophic level. In a stable ecosystem, the biomass decreases at each successive trophic level of the food chain. A diagrammatic representation of biomass in each trophic level in a food chain gives a pyramid of biomass.

g/m2 is the unit used in a pyramid of biomass. Kilocalories is Unit of measure for energy pyramids. The number of organisms in each trophic level gives a similar pyramid called pyramid of numbers.

For an occupational therapy assistant, do certain areas of the country have a better outlook? And where?

olga_2 [115]

Answer - Yes! of course. For better outlook you want to be in a city like Miami, FL U.S or someone populated cause that is where your able to find patients in need of recover. Other then that we will always need occupational therapy assistant because its crucial to the recover with some help and maintenance.

Reasoning - It is in fact true because in a city you can find a populated are that probably fractured their hand and needs some assistant for help recovery if the main doctor is not there.

Show the energy of Oxidation of two mole pyruvic acid.

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Methanesulfinic acid (MSIA) is an important intermediate in the oxidation of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in the marine boundary layer. The oxidation of MSIA by ozone in the gas phase to form methanesulfonic acid (MSA) was investigated using theoretical calculations in this paper. Three pathways can be found for the reaction of MSIA with ozone. The highest energy barrier is 13.02 kcal mol−1 in the most favorable pathway. By comparing the reaction rate of MSIA + O3 with that of MSIA + OH, it can be concluded that the oxidation of MSIA by O3 to form MSA is of minor significance relative to its oxidation by OH radical in the gas phase. This study can provide some information for the theoretical and experimental studies in the significantly heterogeneous and aqueous-phase oxidation of MSIA by O3.
