Answer:

Nonsense mutation. A nonsense mutation is also a change in one DNA base pair. Instead of substituting one amino acid for another, however, the altered DNA sequence prematurely signals the cell to stop building a protein. This type of mutation results in a shortened protein that may function improperly or not at all.Sep 21, 2020

The average distance across an ocean is 16,000 km.Two continents on either side of the ocean are con-verging at a rate of 10 cm/
solmaris [256]
The average distance is 16,000 km
Converging rate is  10 cm/year
1 km = 100,000 cm
 = 16,000 × 100,000/10 cm/year
= 160,000,000 years
It will then take 160 Million years to collide.

Predict what the calf produced in a union between each of these parents might look like. Explain your answers.
Charra [1.4K]
We know that purebred means that the organism contains the same alleles for the trait and hybrid means that it contains two different alleles for the trait. Dominant means that it will be shown in a hybrid and a purebred, but recessive traits will only be shown in purebred recessive organisms.

a) The offspring of a purebred white (recessive) cow and a purebred brown (dominant) bull, would be all hybrid brown (dominant). This is because as I stated above, dominant traits are shown when the offspring has both dominant and recessive alleles for the same trait.

b) The offspring of a purebred brown (dominant) cow and a purebred brown (dominant) bull would all be purebred brown (dominant). This is because if both of the parents have only alleles that code for brown color, the only color that the offspring can be is brown.

c) The offspring of a purebred white (recessive) cow and a purebred white (recessive ) bull would all be purebred white (recessive), for the same reason stated above in part b), the only difference being that the alleles are recessive and code for white color instead of being dominant and coding for brown color.

d) The offspring of a hybrid brown (dominant) cow and a purebred white (recessive) bull would be half hybrid brown (dominant) and half purebred white (recessive). This can be seen best if you set up a Punnett Square, which is a diagram that shows allele frequencies in offspring. This shows you that the chance that the offspring get the dominant allele from the mother cow is 50%, thus 50% would be hybrid brown (dominant), as the father can contribute only a recessive white allele. The other 50% would be purebred white (recessive) because the mother cow would be contributing a white allele and so would the father.

Hope this helps! :)

The daughter cells are produced with only half the chromosomes of the parent cell. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "D". So the main goal of meiosis is actually creating four daughter cells that are by no means similar to the parent cells. When these daughter cells that are created combine together and undergo the process of fertilization, then a zygote is formed and the development of cells starts. The process of meiosis can be asexual as well as sexual.
