Answer:

Code for the same amino acid as the original codon

Explanation:

Mutation, which is any alteration in the nucleotide sequence of a gene, can occur when there is a replacement of base nucleotides. This is called SUBSTITUTION MUTATION. Substitution mutation can either lead to missense, nonsense or silent mutations.

As stated in this question, SILENT mutation is the one in which there is no change in the amino acid sequence after translation of the mutated mRNA. In other words, the mutation leads to an alteration of codon but the MUTATED CODONS CODE FOR THE SAME AMINO ACID as the original codon, hence, no effect on the protein produced or individual, in general.

7) A Quasar is a very large celestial object that gives off massive amounts of energy. There is a theory that Quasars contain gigantic black holes in them but it is still yet to be proven.

8) The energy of a Quasar ranges from 1 trillion to 25 trillion of our sun.

Elza [17]

"Dave", the feathered lizard fossil is thought of as a(n)<u> </u><u>homologous</u> species, or an organism that may represent a common ancestor shared by different but related lineages of organisms.

<h3>What is homologous evolution?</h3>

Homologous evolution is similarity of the structure, physiology, or development of different species of organisms based upon their descent from a common evolutionary ancestor.

Homologous structures include the human arm, a bird or bat's wing, a dog's leg, a dolphin or whale's flipper, and the wing of a bird or a bat. They are distinct and serve different purposes, although they are comparable and have similar characteristics. They are regarded as homologous structures because their underlying anatomies are comparable.

kkurt [141]

Answer:

The correct matches are:

In anabolic reactions that involve the synthesis of a large molecule from smaller precursor molecules, NADH and ATP are consumed when they provide the needed electrons or energy.
In catabolic reactions that involve the breakdown of a molecule into smaller subunits, such as glucose to pyruvate, NADH and ATP are produced.
In the reaction Pyruvate +NADH-Lactate +NAD, pyruvate is being reduced.
In the reaction Pyruvate NADH-Lactate +NAD, NADH is being oxidized.

Explanation:

Being involved in synthesis, anabolic reactions require energy in the form of energy storing molecules such as NADH and ATP. Anabolic processes utilize energy produced by the catabolism of complex compounds.
Catabolic processes produce energy or energy storing compounds by breaking down complex substances into simpler ones. All steps of cellular respiration are catabolic processes since they generate energy in the form of ATP or energy yielding molecules such as NADH and FADH2.
Anaerobic respiration takes place during intense physical activity due to which adequate oxygen does not reach the cells. Insufficient oxygen shuttles the pyruvate molecules produced by glycolysis into the lactic acid pathway that reduces pyruvate into lactic acid.
Since, NADH is donating its H+, it is being oxidized to NAD+.
