What type of mutation is shown in the sequence below

Biology
1 answer:
almond37 [142]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Single nucleotide deletion

Explanation:

Original DNA sequence:

A T A C G G T A

T A T G C C A T

Mutated DNA sequence:

A T C G G T A G

T A G C C A T C

​In the mutated sequence, there is a nucleotide missing. It goes from ATACGGTA to ATCGGTAG. The A nucleotide is gone. This represents a single base pair deletion.

Even though it is only one base, this changes the way the entire sequence is interpreted. The DNA transcribed into an mRNA and then translated into a protein by reading triplet codons which correspond to specific amino acids.

So while the initial sequence would be read as:

ATA, CGG, TA...

The new sequence would be read as:

ATC, GGT, AG...

So the sequence of the protein is completely altered.

Why are human populations not limited by the carrying capacity of their ecosystems?
exis [7]

Answer:

humans use their knowledge to locate resources.

Explanation:

The carrying capacity can be defined as the maximum number of individuals in a population of a species that an ecosystem or region can support on the basis of availability of water, food, habitat and other needs necessary for survival. Sometimes, the population of the species increases exponentially exceeding the carrying capacity of an ecosystem when the resources available are surplus.  

The human populations are not limited by the carrying capacity of their ecosystem this is because of the fact human beings possess special intellectual and thinking abilities which make them capable of availing themselves resources. They posses knowledge which allows them to search, and find resources even from the earth extreme locations not suitable for survival.
