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.

mina [271]

It would cause Rain. But a cold front. Fronts are always in relation to moving cold air A cold front is the advancing edge of a cold air mass and a warm front is the retreating edge of a cold mass. If the cold air mass is displacing the warm air front then the cold air is advancing.

CAPACITY..

Limiting factors determine carrying capacity. The availability of abiotic factors (such as water, oxygen, and space) and biotic factors (such as food) dictates how many organisms can live in an ecosystem. Carrying capacity is also impacted by the availability of decomposers.

BIODIVERSITY...

While food and water supply, habitat space, and competition with other species are some of the limiting factors affecting the carrying capacity of a given environment, in human populations, other variables such as sanitation, diseases, and medical care are also at play.

Microfilaments are thin strands of the contractile protein composed of myosin. Select one: True False

zzz [600]

Answer:

The given statement is false.

Explanation:

Microfilaments refer to the solid rods formed of a protein called actin. Microfilaments are also considered as actin filaments. It is found in all the cells of eukaryotes, the microfilaments are mainly structural in function and are an essential constituent of the cytoskeleton, along with intermediate filaments and microtubules.

Microfilaments vary from 5 to 9 nm in diameter and are developed to withstand huge amounts of tension. With myosin, microfilaments assist in generating the forces used in basic cell motions and cellular contraction. The microfilaments also allow a differentiating cell to separate into two cells and also take part in amoeboid movements of some kind of cells.
