Answer:
absorb vitamins (especially Vitamin K)
Explanation:
The large intestine also helps in absorption of vitamins made by bacteria that normally live in the large intestine. These are friendly bacteria called commensal bacteria. There are over 700 species of bacteria that perform a variety of functions.
Bacteria in the large intestine also make some important substances, such as vitamin K, which plays an important role in blood clotting.
Answer:
Organism having the suitable traits appears more in the population.
Explanation:
Natural selection is a non-random process in the biological traits becomes less or more common in the population due to the different rate of survival of their bearer or their differential reproduction.
Natural selection leads to evolution because those organisms are selected to survive and reproduce which are having those traits that are better suited to a certain set of environmental conditions over others. As a result, the number of these organisms increases over time and they appear more in the population.
So natural selection leads to evolution as an organism having the suitable traits appears more in the population.
About 93 million miles or 150 km or 8 light minutes (don't know what that means)
Answer:
4. c. Deletion/ frameshift mutation
5. a. Tyr Tyr Asp Ser Gly
6. A frameshift occurred which altered the identity of the amino acids following the initiator 6. methionine, but not the length of protein Q.
Explanation:
4)
A single base pair at the first position of the Arg codon i.e. CGA has been deleted. Due to the deletion, the reading frame has shifted one nucleotide backwards, altering the amino acid sequence of the protein.
5)
The genomic DNA sequence is 5'-ATG ATA CTA AGG CCC-3'. Therefore, the complementary mRNA will be 5'-UAC UAU GAU UCC GGG-3'. According to the genetic code, this mRNA sequence encodes the following amino acid sequence: Tyr Tyr Asp Ser Gly
6)
The wild type DNA sequence is:
5'-ACUGUAAUGGAGUCAGAUGAUGCAUUAAGGAGAAAUUGAAAUAAA-3'
The mutant i.e. mRNA with the added G will be
5'
ACUGUAAUGGGAGUCAGAUGAUGCAUUAAGGAGAAAUUGAAAUAAA-3'
This is a single base pair insertion and frameshift mutation that shifts the reading frame one base pair forwards. The codon that was originally GAG coding for glutamic acid (Glu) gets converted to GGA that codes for glycine. Therefore, the amino acid sequence has been altered but the polypeptide chain will still have 13 amino acids.
