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.

How do fish maintain depth in water
GREYUIT [131]

For a fish to be buoyant, or float, it must displace less water or the same amount of water as its own body mass. ... Many fish use swim bladders to help them with quick depth changes. These bladders fill with air to help fish rise or release air so fish can sink, often in conjunction with forward movement.

Aneli [31]

Answer:

Twin studies document similarities and differences between twins. When two IDENTICAL twins raised under very DIFFERENT circumstances display similar personality traits, that suggests a strong GENETIC influence on personality. Critics of twin studies suggest that some documented similarities between twins are based on the fact that the twins are still the same age and may have some SIMILARITIES because of it.

Explanation:

It is not fully proved the genetic influence on the personality, and it is not the only factor wich modify the conduct.

It is stated that the personality is the result of a combination of different stimulus as genetic, socio-economic environment, parental education, upbringing rules, etc. Even the personal health can modify the personality.
