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.

Prophase I
The chromosomes condense, and the nuclear envelope breaks down & crossing-over occurs.

Metaphase I
Pairs of homologous chromosomes move to the equator of the cell.

Anaphase I
Homologous chrmosomes move to the oppisite poles of the cell.


Telophase I and Cytokinesis
Chromosomes gather at the poles of the cells & the cytoplasm divides.

Prophase II
A new spidle forms around the chromosomes.

Metaphase II
Chromosomes line up at the equator.

Anaphase II
Centromeres divides & chromatids move to the opposite poles of the cells.

Telophase II and Cytokinesis
A nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes & the cytoplasm divides.

Which statements best compare the function of an ATP molecule to a DNA molecule
Masja [62]

ATP helps in muscle contraction, active transport, formation of lysosomes, etc., while DNA carries all the genetic information related to an organism.

<h3>What do you mean by DNA molecule?</h3>

The DNA molecule may be defined as the molecule that carries the genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism.

ATP delivers energy for chemical reactions in the cell. DNA maintains and communicates the genetic information of organisms.

Therefore, the above statement that best compares the function of an ATP molecule to a DNA molecule.

Humans often think of themselves as unique, but in reality there are only a few distinguishing features. Which of these is uniqu
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

b. Red blood cells that lack nuclei

d. A fully erect posture associated with bipedalism

Explanation:

Eccrine glands can be found on horses, you may have seen horses sweeting. The pressure sensors can be found in other apes too. Fully erect posture is a characteristic of humans, other apes or monkeys may walk sometime like this, but their main locomotion is in 4 extremities. Non nucleated is a characteristic that gives an advantage because more oxygen can be carried  inside red blood cells making respiration more efficient.
