Answer: silent mutation: a nucleotide base in a codon is replaced with a different base BUT the resulting amino acid isn’t affected.
Missense mutation: similar to a silent mutation, the only difference is that the switch of the nucleotide DOES result in a DIFFERENT amino acid
Nonsense mutation: a nucleotide base is changed, but that change results in a premature stop of translation
(Remember that after transcription, you are left with a strand of mRNA that Is then translated into a protein. The mRNA is read in increments of three nucleotide bases (A,U,G, or C) which is called a codon. That codon makes a single amino acid, and a strand of amino acids makes a protein)
Answer:
c)polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
Explanation:
Because the paleontologist recovered only a bit of tissue and it is very old, it is very likely that the DNA in the sample is very small and part of it is degraded. Anyway, the paleontologist must first amplify the DNA sample to obtain many identical copies of the specific region of the DNA they want to compare. the above is done through a polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
Answer: Local chemical conditions
Explanation: A Precapillary Sphincter is a smooth muscle that is located in circles around the capillaries.
The precapillary sphincter helps to coordinate blood flow to the into the capillaries by causing the capillaries to decrease the flow of blood to tissues that are dormant or not active.
