Biology
1 answer:
Burka [1]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

d. AAU CCG CAU UGG A​

Explanation:

A mutation is any change or alteration to the sequence of a gene. There are, however, different types of mutation depending on how it occurs in the gene. One of these types is INSERTION MUTATION as mentioned in this question. Insertion mutation is a type of mutation in which one or more nucleotide base is added to the sequence, hence, changing the reading frame of the original sequence.

In this question, the original mRNA sequence is given as: AAU CCG CAU GGA.

An insertion mutation will cause nucleotide base(s) to be added to this sequence, which will be noticed by an increase in number of bases in the sequence.

The correct answer is: AAU CCG CAU UGG A​. In this mutated sequence, nucleotide "U" has been added to the sequence.

Brut [27]

When a factory is emitting large amounts of CFCs into the atmosphere, it affects the people in that area by the increase in the level of ocean water. CFCs dissolve in seawater and because they are not reactive, they just circulate until it becomes saturated.

True or false? leaves appear green because they absorb green wavelengths of light.
Deffense [45]
This statement is false. This is because the green light isn't absorbed. The leaves appear green because the chlorophyll of the leaves, the part that makes food, reflects the green light, which has a medium wave length. While reflecting green light waves, it simultaneously absorbs red waves (long waves) and blue waves (short waves)
