Answer:

A. Silent, The type of mutation responsible for changing a base in the mRNA strand, without changing the coding aminoacid or protein, is called a silent mutation.

Explanation:

In a silent mutation occurs the change of a nitrogenous base in one of the codons that encodes an aminoacid, without changing the aminoacid or altering the structure or function of the protein to be synthesized.

In this type of mutations the change of the base does not mean the change of the aminoacid, because some aminoacids can be coded with more than one codon. In the case of Leucine, the codons that encode it are CUU, CUC, CUG or CUA, so even if a base changes, the final protein will be the correct one.

For the other options:

  • <u>Missense</u>: the change of the base in the DNA chain implies the change of the codon in the mRNA and of the encoded aminoacid, in that way a structural and functional alteration of the synthesized protein occurs.
  • <u>Nonsense</u>: the change in the nitrogenous base in the DNA leads to the coding of a termination codon, so that the protein is ultimately incomplete.
  • <u>Insertion</u>: in this case there is the addition of more nitrogenous bases to the DNA chain, with respect to the original one.

What is the term for the symbiotic association between fungi and cyanobacteria?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

lichen

Explanation:

Lichens are symbiotic associations of mutualism between fungi and algae. Most lichen-forming fungi are ascomycetes (98%), the remainder being basidiomycetes. The algae involved in this association are chlorophytes and cyanobacteria. The fungi of this association are called mycobionte and the algae, photobionte, since it is the photosynthetic organism of the association.

The dual nature of lichen is easily demonstrated by the separate cultivation of its components. In the association, the fungi take different forms from those they had when isolated, most of the body of the lichen is formed by the fungus.
