Answer:

fertilized egg

Explanation:

Zygote, fertilized egg cell that results from the union of a female gamete (egg, or ovum) with a male gamete (sperm). In the embryonic development of humans and other animals, the zygote stage is brief and is followed by cleavage, when the single cell becomes subdivided into smaller cells.

Answer:

A zygote is a eukaryotic cell that is produced when two gametes fertilize each other. The genome of a zygote is made up of the DNA from each gamete and includes all of the genetic information needed to create a new person. The zygote is the most basic developmental stage of multicellular organisms.

A section of DNA encodes a gene for an enzyme involved in cellular metabolism. If a mutation event occurs that results in the de
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The correct answer would be C. The protein synthesized will contain many erroneous amino acids since the loss of one base will shift the reading of the encoded base sequence.

Deletion mutation that does not occur in the multiple of three bases can results in frame-shift mutation.

It changes the reading frame of nucleotide in DNA. Thus, the reading frame of codons in mRNA would also change.

Consequently, the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain would change or alter. Thus, a protein would contain many erroneous amino acids.

An example of the same is shown below in the image.

Why is it important to know a person blood type before a blood transfusion?
lord [1]
Different types of blood contact different kinds of antigens and antibodies. For example, Type A blood has A antigens and B antibodies, antibodies being the thing that fights B antigens. Type B blood has B antigens and A antibodies. So if someone with type B gets transfused with Type A blood, the person's antibodies will attack the new blood.

What happens to an orbiting body if the eccentricity increases?
Softa [21]
Eccentricity of a body following an elliptical orbit defines how nearly circular the path of the object is. When the eccentricity of an orbiting body increases, it means that the body is moving in the most stretched out path.

A mixture of the amino acids leucine, glutamate, and arginine, is added to a cation exchange column at neutral ph. in what order
natulia [17]

Cation-exchange chromatography is used when the molecule of interest is positively charged, the stationary phase is negatively charged and positively charged molecules are loaded to be attracted to it. So, the amino acids with negative charge will elute the first. Glutamate, leucin, arginine is the order of elution because of their pI values ~3,  ~6  ~10.
