A) Silent mutation on both, no changes whatsoever.
B) Silent mutation on second codon, third amino acid changed from PHE to STOP

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).

The flow of energy in an ecosystem is best
melamori03 [73]
The flow of energy in an ecosystem is best described as energy moving in one direction from the sun to the producers then to the consumers. 

Explanation; 
Energy flow is the amount of energy that moves through successive trophic levels of a food chain in an ecosystem. Ecosystem maintain themselves by cycling energy and nutrients.
The energy from sunlight is taken up by producers which use it to produce organic compounds through photosynthesis. The energy is then passed successively to the trophic levels, that is from the producers to the consumers ( primary, secondary, tertiary and quotienary consumers). During this transfer some energy is lost at each trophic level in form of heat.

A sustainable environment means to be maintained indefinitely and when we use products that have been altered by GMO's, genetica
ahrayia [7]

Answer: False

Explanation:

The genetically modified organisms are the organisms in which the genetic make up of the organism is altered. So that these organisms produce better yield and so as to improve their quality. The aim of genetic engineering in organisms is to develop or introduce a new trait in the organisms, which does not occur in the natural species. Thus the given statement is false as genetically modified organisms are reproducible.

What can happen to solar radiation when it enters Earth’s atmosphere?
Liula [17]
The answer is A.It is absorbed by Earth.

When the atmosphere is heated by the solar radiation, it radiates heat back to the Earth's surface increasing the Earth's surface temperature. This is also what causes the greenhouse effect and urban heat island.

Hope it helps!
