Answer:

No, they do not all cause a change in amino acid sequence of a protein.

Explanation:

Substitution mutation is the type of mutation that results when the nucleotide base of a gene is replaced by another base in the sequence. A substitution mutation can result into three different types of mutation namely; silent mutation, missense mutation, and nonsense mutation.

- In silent mutation, the nucleotide base that gets replaced by another still forms a codon that encodes the same amino acid as in the original sequence. e.g if guanine replaces adenine in the sequence, TTA to form a mutated sequence, TTG. This mutated codon (TTG) still encodes LEUCINE amino acid just as TTA does. Hence, there is no effect on the resulting amino acid sequence. This portrays that NOT ALL SUBSTITUTIONS cause a change in amino acid sequence of a protein.

Fruit production in anthophytes develops from: a. a female reproductive structure b. a male reproductive structure c. both male

Fed [463]

Answer:

a. a female reproductive structure

Explanation:

Reproduction can be defined as a biological process which typically involves living organisms producing an offspring.

Basically, there are two (2) methods of reproduction and these are;

I. Sexual reproduction: it involves the combination of the genome (gamete) of a male and female living organism during fertilization.

II. Asexual reproduction: it involves the cloning of a living organism to produce an offspring because there is only a single parent.

Antophyte is the division name for flowering plants and they are considered to be the most successful of all the other division of plants in terms of reproduction.

Division Antophyta are classified into two (2) main categories and these includes;

I. Monocot: this group of flowering plants have a single cotyledon. Some examples of monocots are lilies, corns, grasses etc.

II. Dicot: this group of flowering plants have two cotyledon. Some examples of dicots are beans, peas, peanuts, etc.

Basically, fruit production in anthophytes develops from female reproductive structure known as the ovary. Once the ovary is fertilized by a sperm, they ripen into a fruit.
