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)

Answer:

see in explaination

Explanation:

Density (D) is a quantity defined as mass (m) per unit volume (v): D = m ÷ v. Since these three quantities are related, you can find one of them if you know the other two. This is more helpful than it sounds because density is often a known quantity that you can look up, assuming you know the composition of the material.

Calculations are straightforward for solid objects, but things get more complicated for liquids, where density changes with temperature, and for gases, for which density is dependent on temperature and pressure.
