Answer: D) The lizard and the snake are secondary consumers.

Explanation:

Producers are organisms that, simply put, produce their own food. All photosynthesizing plants are considered to be producers. Animals cannot be producers.

Primary consumers eat producers.

Secondary consumers eat primary consumers.

Tertiary consumers eat secondary consumers, and so on.

The lizard eats a fly, which is a primary consumer. This makes the lizard a secondary consumer.

The snake eats a mouse, which is a primary consumer. This makes the snake a secondary consumer.

A) is incorrect because the hawk is a tertiary consumer.

B) is incorrect because grass is a producer, not a consumer

The wild-type form of a gene encodes a protein of length 100 amino acids. A mutant allele has a UAA (instead of the wild-type, C
Orlov [11]

Answer:

48 amino acids

Explanation:

The wild type gene codes for a protein with 100 amino acids. One amino acid is encoded by one triplet code of the gene. This means that the wild type gene has a total 100 triplets or 300 nucleotides to code for a protein of 100 amino acid. Mutation in this protein has introduced the code "UAA" at the 49th codon. The code "UAA" is a stop codon. Therefore, the mRNA transcribed from the mutant allele would code for a protein having 48 amino acids as the protein synthesis will be stopped once the stop codon at the 49th position is read.
