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.

Basile [38]

Answer:

In science, accepted theories do not represent absolute truths. A scientific theory is accepted when there is much evidence available that support its statements, but new lines of evidence can modify original presumptions  

Explanation:

A scientific theory is a plausible explanation of a particular phenomenon of the natural world, which has been many times tested and verified by using the scientific method. The accepted theories are progressively modified (or even overturned) as new lines of evidence emerge. In consequence, a scientific theory is composed of statements that we consider as truths regarding the available evidence, but we have no absolute certainty that such statements are true. The ability to self-correct is fundamental in science and it happens when we discover that the original statements of a scientific theory were wrong, thereby new lines of evidence allow us to correct the error and/or develop new scientific theories.

Cell division involves two processes mitosis and meiosis. Both of these processes are involved to help the cell divide and result to two diploid  daughter cells and for meiosis four haploid daughter cells. 

<span>A normal, typical and functional cell undergoes cell cycle in normal fashion and eventually reaches apoptosis. Yet cancer cells fail to display just some of these characteristics.

</span><span>The cycle cycle; mitosis occurs more in your body since it changes, modifies and requires cell division at maximum rate in many useful situations with the stand to a particular system and organ. Mitosis and meiosis are simply cell division processes that occurs differently, they're characteristically divergent from each other according to their function and structure. Mitosis is the cell division that happens in all cells in the human body except sperm and egg cells. They produce diploid cells.</span>

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

E. It takes a picture of the brain according to oxygen levels. More oxygen in an area indicates more activity in that area.

Explanation:

Haemoglobin is diamagnetic when oxygenated but paramagnetic when deoxygenated. This distinction in magnetic characteristics leads to tiny variations in the blood MR signal. Since blood oxygenation differs, these variations can be used to identify brain activity depending on the concentrations of neural activity.

The right answer is: <span>Kingdom Plantae 

The term "plants" includes plant organisms, mostly terrestrial, consisting of an upper leafy stem and anchored (planted) in the soil.

Plantae kingdom contains only non-motile multicellular nucleated organisms.
Not all of the Animalia are non-motile (spermatozoids and some immune cells are mobile).
Protista Are unicellular organisms, not multicellular.</span>
