Heterozygous- a certain gene that can carry two different alleles
Homozygous- a certain gene that carries two copies of the same alleles
Cells, the basic unit of life, are derived from spontaneous generation.
Answer:
It would most likely render the protein nonfunctional or mis-functional.
The mutation could result in three outcomes:
- Silent mutation, which changes the codon to the same amino acid. (AAA->AAG, both are lysine). But since the problem specified that it has a "slightly different amino acid sequence," we can assume this doesn't happen.
- Nonsense mutation, which changes a codon to a stop codon. This would end the chain of amino acids, making the protein potentially nonfunctional.
- Missense mutation, which changes a codon to another completely different codon. This can be harmful, as in sickle-cell disease, where just one amino acid, glutamic acid, is changed to valine.
The substance must be able to alter its physical characteristic (for example, its color) in accordance to a change in pH. One example of this is litmus paper, which becomes red under acidic conditions and blue under basic conditions.
Answer:
Azurite and Magnesite react with hydrochloric acid.
Explanation:
These 2 rocks contain the carbonate mineral calcite dolomite. Carbonate minerals are unstable in contact with hydrochloric acid. When acid begins to effervesce (fizz) on a specimen, a reaction takes place and bubbles of carbon dioxide evolve, thus indicating the presence of minerals like calcite dolomite.
Hope my answer is correct and helpful :)
