Answer:

D) Silent mutation on second codon, third amino acid changed from ILE to ASN.

Explanation:

Silent mutations are usually point mutation where you change one nucleotide. Since, the nucleotide changed is the third position, it does not affect the protein being manufactured (it will still put the amino acid Ala) [look up the codon redundancy on youtub.e to understand how awesome nature is!]

On the other hand, the other mutation introduced is Missense mutation where a different Amino acid is added due to change in codon (goes from ILE to ASN).

Which of the following best explains why soil conservation is important to human agriculture
Dvinal [7]

The bare soil surface type affects the amount of runoff because it has no other stopping mechanism that prevents runoff to happen. Just like in the use of pesticide, it is harmful to human agriculture because it contains an antifreezing chemical (present in transportation vehicles). When the chemical seeps into the soil, it will create a runoff and can seep into the groundwater causing pollution.
