The main function of xylem is to transport water, and some soluble nutrients including minerals and inorganic ions, upwards from the roots to the rest of the plant. Xylem cells form long tubes that transport materials, and the mixture of water and nutrients that flows through the xylem cells is called xylem sap.

Elden [556K]

Answer:

Codons after the mutation are not exactly the same as before mutation, because one base was deleted, changing the sequence of codons.

Codons before mutation:  ATG   TGC   GAA   ACT   TTG   GCT

<em>Only the first one (ATG) might coincide with one of the codons before mutation. </em>

Explanation:

Genetic information for the aminoacids assembly during the protein synthesis is stored in short sequences of three nucleotides named codons in the DNI or mRNA. Each of the codons represents one of the 20 amino acids used to build the protein. There are a total of 64 codons. 61 codify amino acids, one of these amino acids is also the start point of protein synthesis, and the left three codons are stopping translation points.

The Sequence before mutation ATGCTGCGAAACTTTGGCTGA

Codons: ATG   CTG   CGA   AAC   TTT   GGC   TGA

The Sequence after mutation ATGTGCGAAACTTTGGCTGA

Codons: ATG   TGC   GAA   ACT   TTG   GCT

<em>Only the first one (ATG) might coincide with one of the codons before mutation. </em>

mario62 [17]

Answer:

chromosomes

Explanation:

Genomics refers to the scientific study of genes (DNA) found in living organisms such as humans and animals.

A genome can be defined as the complete set of hereditary instructions that is typically found in the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

The complex structures of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and protein found in the cell nucleus are generally referred to as chromosomes.

In sexual reproduction, the chromosomes from parents are found in the cell nucleus and are comprised of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), histone proteins, etc. Thus, they are used to store genetic informations in living organisms.

Basically, the human somatic cell is made up of 46 chromosomes which are sub-divided into 22 pairs of autosomes and a pair of sex chromosomes (X and Y). An autosome is one of the numbered chromosome that is typically not a sex chromosome.

On the other hand, sex chromosomes (X and Y) are responsible for determining the gender or sex of living organisms such as humans.
