Which mutation is an example of an insertion mutation?

Biology
1 answer:
Burka [1]3 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.

Why are amphibians slimy
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Some frogs are slimy because they are covered in a mucous coating. This coating helps them keep their skin moist which helps them breathe through their skin. The mucous often contains other chemicals, like antibacterial or anti fungals to help protect the frog.

In 6-8 sentences, explain how stream volume and speed affect the size, shape, and flow of streams and rivers. please help me and
nikdorinn [45]

Explanation:

The speed of water in a stream is affected by the gradient of the geography. The steeper the geography the higher the speed of the water flow and the higher the erosion capacity of the stream. This means the stream will be narrow and deep. There is also less meandering of the stream.

When the gradient is less steep, the stream flow slows down and so does the erosion force it bears especially on the river bed. This therefore result in a higher horizontal erosion than vertical erosion. The steam becomes wide and shallow. The stream is also more likely to meander.

The volume of water in the stream also affects the size, shape, and flow of streams and rivers. A higher volume of water has more erosion power due to the weight of the water column. The stream is, therefore, more likely to be bigger in size than a stream that carries low water volume.
