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.

In some experiments, several identical groups are set up, keeping conditions similar among them. In the _____ group, a change is

Luden [163]

Answer:

In some experiments, several identical groups are set up, keeping conditions similar among them. In the <em>experimental </em>group, a change is deliberately introduced. In the <em>control </em>group, this change is not introduced. In this way, the researcher can determine if the change has an effect.

Explanation:

In every experiment that has to do with having a replicate, there must be a control group which is used to checkmate the effect of what is being tested, hence; nothing is introduced in the control group unlike the experimental group
