Explain the difference between each of the following substitution mutations:

1 answer:

5 0

Answer: silent mutation: a nucleotide base in a codon is replaced with a different base BUT the resulting amino acid isn’t affected.

Missense mutation: similar to a silent mutation, the only difference is that the switch of the nucleotide DOES result in a DIFFERENT amino acid

Nonsense mutation: a nucleotide base is changed, but that change results in a premature stop of translation

(Remember that after transcription, you are left with a strand of mRNA that Is then translated into a protein. The mRNA is read in increments of three nucleotide bases (A,U,G, or C) which is called a codon. That codon makes a single amino acid, and a strand of amino acids makes a protein)

Compare the nervous system of the shrimp to that of a vertebrate.

melamori03 [73]

Identify advantages and disadvantages of using fossil fuels, hydroelectricity, and solar energy as energy sources.

dimaraw [331]

Fossil fuels:

Advantage: easier to find and transport
They generate thousands of jobs

Disadvantage: butning fossil fuels for the environment degrades it and contributes to global warming

Hydroelectric:

Advantage: Hydroelectric power can be created 24/7 indefinitely assuming that the body of water it is utilizing never runs dry. It is also another absolutely clean source of energy.

Disadvantage: The turbines and dams that are built on the rivers or streams interrupt the natural flow of the fish and other wildlife that lives in the area.

Solar energy:

Advantage: Solar power helps to slow/stop global warming. Global warming threatens the survival of human society, as well as the survival of countless species.

Disadvantage: the sun doesn't shine 24 hours a day ao it can supply you with energy at night
