Chemistry

Answer:

Substitution mutation

Explanation:

A substitution mutation is a type of mutation in which one or more nucleotide base is replaced by another in a sequence. This will result in the replacement of one or more amino acid in the amino acid sequence.

This is the case in this question where the original amino acid sequence was given as: Leucine – Alanine – Glycine – Leucine. After mutation, the following mutated sequence was produced: Leucine – Alanine – Valine – Leucine.

As illustrated above, one would notice that there is replacement of GLYCINE amino acid by VALINE in the mutated sequence, hence, it is an example of SUBSTITUTION MUTATION.

tamaranim1 [39]

Th correct answer is option C. Calling can be hazardous because it also attracts parasites and predators.

The mating call is used by the males to attract females for sexual reproduction. By using vocal sounds males are not only making themselves attractive to females, they are also making themselves vulnerable to predators.

Thus the mating call can have a disastrous effect on the survival of the species.

What is the molality of an aqueous solution that contains 29.5 g of glucose (C6H12O6) dissolved in 950 g of water (H2O)?
Gnesinka [82]
Molality is one way of expressing concentration of a solute in a solution. It is expressed as the mole of solute per kilogram of the solvent. To calculate for the molality of the given solution, we need to convert the mass of solute into moles and divide it to the mass of the solvent.

Molality = 29.5 g glucose (1 mol / 180.16 g ) / .950 kg water
Molality = 0.1724 mol / kg
