What if a mutation caused a change in the code so the message read GAG instead of GAC? 
How would this affect the protein produc
Anarel [89]

Answer: There will be no effect on the protein produced

Explanation:

According to the genetic code, the triplet codon GAG code for the amino acid, glutamate, while GAC code for aspartate.

Since GAG and GAC code for amino acids with similar properties (aspartate and glutamate are both acidic amino acids due to the extra carboxyl group present in their side chain), the change in nucleotide is still similar to the original, so will result in a different amino acid sequence, but will not alter the function of the protein at all. Thus, this kind of mutation is called silent mutation.

Plasma is about ________ percent of the composition of blood and carries cellular elements and other substance
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer is 55%.

Blood is fluid connective tissue that consists of two main components, plasma and formed element. Blood plasma is a clear extracellular fluid, which is a mixture of proteins, enzymes, nutrients, wastes, hormones and gases. Formed elements are made up of the blood cells (red blood cells and white blood cells) and platelets. All formed elements are cells except for the platelets, which are tiny fragments of bone marrow cells.

The formed elements can be separated from plasma by centrifuge. On separation of blood components, it is evident that formed elements make up 45% of total blood volume while the plasma makes up 55% of the total volume.

Which statement describes the land between contour lines 30 and 35
Elena L [17]
Hello there,

It seem's to me that your answer would be "<span>D. The land slopes gently."

As you focus very hard and steady on the picture, I see a little turn to the right, this can indicate that there is a slight slope.

Hope this helps.
