Answer:
The mutations lie at locations where they don't affect protein sequence due to degeneracy of the genetic code.
Explanation:
Genetic code is the set of the triplet codons each of which code for a specific amino acid. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA is read in the form of triplets during the process of protein synthesis and the respective amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain. The genetic code is degenerate. This means that more than one triplet code specifies one amino acid and some amino acids are encoded by more than one codon.
For instance, genetic codes CUU, CUC, CUA, CUG specify amino acid "leucine". Therefore, any change in the DNA sequence that replaces one code for the leucine with another would not affect the amino acid composition of the protein. This would result in the synthesis of proteins with the same amino acid sequence from both the wild type and mutated genes.
It could be c. But the answer is B
Answer:
A worker bee defends the hive while the queen bee lays eggs
A prairie dog barks to alert family members when it spots a predator
Explanation:
Just like people, some animals live in communities, where each of them plays a certain role. For those animals, we can say that they live in a social hierarchy.
Examples that describe something like this are the second and fourth ones.
In a hive, there are different types of bees: workers, drones, and a queen. Each of them plays their role, which makes their hive function properly.
Prairie dogs are another example of species that live in large communities. Since they are small and have numerous predators, they rely on each other for protection. They do this by barking whenever they spot a predator, this way alerting other members of their community.
The rest of the statements simply tell about how some species live without mentioning their social life. This is why they are incorrect.
ATP
Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, showing the need for aerobic conditions to undergo such a process. ATP is produced as a product of the electron transport chain, while glucose and CO2 play a role in earlier processes of cellular respiration.
