Biology

The right answer is B.

Insertion is a genetic mutation characterized by the entrenchment of genetic material in a chromosome. The insertion size varies between a base pair and an entire sector of a chromosome moved to another. In the latter case, part of the genetic data of the first chromosome is erased. This can happen during an uneven jumping.

The embedding of nucleic bases in a gene makes it longer and shifts the reading of its data, which can modify its functioning in a harmful way, especially if the insertion occurs on the exon (fragments of an RNA primary presence in cytoplasmic RNA after splicing).

Answer: The correct answer is -

B) the insertion of a nucleotide into DNA.

Explanation:

Mutation can be described as permanent change in the genetic material ( that is DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid) of living organisms. There are primarily three different types of mutation that are base substitution, deletion, and insertion.

They can lead to change in the protein formation or inhibit the protein formation (for instance, non sense mutaion is a type of base substitution mutation in which it results in stop codon in between the sequence, which stops the protein synthesis).

Similarly, insertion mutation results when there is addition of nucleotide in the original DNA sequence.

Thus, option B) is the right answer.

Why are archaea in a different domain from bacteria apex?
mariarad [96]
The archaea are in a different domain from bacteria due to certain differences in their morphology and habitats, the Archaea are the separate domain of life in prokaryotes. For example; unlike bacteria, archaea cell walls do not contain peptidoglycan, they have different membrane lipid bonding from bacteria and eukarya.
Archaea is  considered as the different domain of life in prokaryotes, as they are the most primitive type and known as the ancient microbes found in extreme niches such as hydrothermal vents, higher salt concentration, high temperature, and pressure etc
