Answer:

3. Indels can alter the open reading frame, but substitutions cannot

Explanation:

INDEL is a term used in genetics to represent a mutation caused by insertion of nucleotides or deletion of nucleotides from a sequence. As stated in this question, the insertion or deletion can be a point mutation (involving a single base) as well as substitution mutation.

Insertion mutation adds nucleotide(s) to the sequence, deletion mutation removes nucleotide(s) from the sequence and substitution mutation replaces nucleotide(s). Based on the fact that INDEL mutation will either shorten or lengthen the sequence, it can alter the open reading frame whereas substitution cannot.

Nutria, Myocastor coypus, are large, semi-aquatic rodents native to South America. They were originally introduced in the U. S.

scZoUnD [109]

Complete Question:

Nutria, Myocastor coypus, are large, semi-aquatic rodents native to South America. They were originally introduced in the US in 1889 for their fur. When the nutria fur market collapsed in the 1940's, thousands of nutria were released into the wild by ranchers who could no longer afford to keep them. Characteristics of the nutria include of those here EXCEPT

A. their status changed from introduced to invasive.

B. nutria affect the natural food web of the marshes.

C. nutria inflict permanent damage to marshes and other wetlands

D. nutria can only live in freshwater marshes in coastal areas along the Gulf

Coast.

Correct Option:

The characteristics of the nutria include of those here EXCEPT that "nutria can only live in freshwater marshes in coastal areas along the Gulf Coast".

Option: D

Explanation:

Nutria survives not only in freshwater marshes but also in wetlands, and can respond to various environments reasonably easily. In aquatic habitats, the species flourish and migrate rapidly across rivers into coastal wetlands. Nutria harm prone ecosystems can be seen in many ways.

Beyond destroying plants and crops, nutria kills the channels of ditches, streams, and other water bodies. Even so, the irreversible harm that nutria can do to marshes and other wetlands is of utmost importance. Nutria in these places rely on native plants which hold together wetland soil. This vegetation's degradation exacerbated the depletion of coastal marshes caused by sea level rise.

Understanding what you do about the structure of DNA so far, do you think that every organism's DNA will look and act the same?

Over [174]

Every organism’s DNA will not look and act the exact same way. If the parent reproduces asexually is the only exception to that rule. However, if all organism’s DNA resembled and acted as a deer’s DNA, then all organisms would be deer. Therefore, there are genetic differences that separate species and ensure different behaviors from organism to organism. While the DNA will be similar by using the same four nucleic bases, there is an entirely different combination of those bases from organism to organism.

What makes ionic bonds different from covalent bonds?

Mazyrski [523]

Answer: IONIC BONDING- When a metallic atom reacts with a non metallic atom, then it forms an ionic bond. For example, Sodium (Na) is a metal that reacts with a non-metal Chlorine (Cl) forming Sodium-chloride (NaCl).

COVALENT BONDING- It is a chemical bonding that occurs when any two non-metallic atoms reacts with one another, by sharing one pair of electrons. For example, Carbon Dioxide (CO₂).
