Genes are segments of DNA located on chromosomes. A gene mutation is defined as an alteration in the sequence of nucleotides in DNA. This change can affect a single nucleotide pair or larger gene segments of a chromosome. DNA consists of a polymer of nucleotides joined together. During protein synthesis, DNA is transcribed into RNA and then translated to produce proteins. Altering nucleotide sequences most often results in nonfunctioning proteins. Mutations cause changes in the genetic code that lead to genetic variation and the potential to develop the disease. Gene mutations can be generally categorized into two types: point mutations and base-pair insertions or deletions.

What observations are consistent with the conclusion that DNA serves as the genetic material in eukaryotes? Select the four corr
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:DNA is shown to be the genetic material in bacteria and some phages.

DNA is shown to be present in mitochondria, chloroplasts and nucleus, where genetic function is performed

Specific genes can be isolated and spliced into bacterial DNA, which can be inserted into a bacterial cell, and then its genetic expression is monitored.

DNA and RNA are found to be the only macromolecules in eukaryotes that consist of a set of subunits which can combine in unique sequence

Explanation:

1. Lipds is another macro molecule with different subnits  of  fatty acids and glycerol,therefore the option ( DNA is found to be the only macro molecule in Eukaryotas that has different sub units) is WRONG.

2 The   correlation of action and absorption spectra varies with different organisms DNA. e..g  in viral cells  there is a wide difference between the absorption and action spectra, that is no correlation, while  some bacterial cells showed correlations. The option(For DNA, content in various cell types action and absorption spectra of ultraviolet light are correlated IS WRONG.

Describe the Earth's crust, mantle and core. Include the thickness, composition, temperature and pressure of each layer in your
Alja [10]
Earth's crust is generally divided into older, thicker continental crust and younger, denser oceanic crust..The crust is made of solid rocks and minerals.

The mantle lies between Earth's dense, super-heated core and its thin outer layer, the crust. The mantle is about 2,900 kilometers (1,802 miles) thick, and makes up 84% of Earth's total volume.

The core lies beneath the cool, brittle crust and the mostly-solid mantle. ... Earth's core is the very hot, very dense center of our planet. The ball-shaped core lies beneath the cool, brittle crust and the mostly-solid mantle.1
