Answer:

The type of mutation that occurs when in the DNA strand there is a change from guanine to cytosine is a nonsense mutation, since the triplet that should encode the amino acid encodes a stop codon and the protein cannot be completely synthesized.

Explanation:

The nonsense mutation consists of a change in one of the bases of the stranded DNA, which is transcribed into an altered mRNA, producing a stop codon, instead of an amino acid.

In the table it is observed that the CCA codon is a stop codon that cuts off the protein synthesis prematurely, leaving it incomplete and probably non-functional.

Sometimes this type of mutation can alter the sequence of amino acids but the protein may be complete enough to partially fulfill its function.

W After the reaction stops, if I add more hydrogen peroxide cide what will happen

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

As long as there is enzyme and hydrogen peroxide present in the solution, the reaction continues and foam is produced. Once one of both compounds is depleted, the product formation stops. If you do not add dish soap to the reaction, you will see bubbles generated but no stable foam formation.

How does aero and anaerobic respreastion differ

saveliy_v [14]

Aerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondria and requires oxygen and glucose, and produces carbon dioxide, water, and energy.

anaerobic respiration also produces energy and uses glucose but it produces less energy and does not require oxygen.

Question 23 (6 points)

Stels [109]

Answer: 1. Sea urchins and sea otters

2. They are prey for carnivores.

3. Sea otters, star fish

Explanation:

Sea urchins and sea otters are carnivores as they eat on the flesh of starfish and sea urchins respectively.

Starfish feed on the kelp forests which are the producers in the food chain and the starfish is the primary consumer and prey for sea urchins. So, starfish and kelp forests are the prey in the marine ecosystem.

Keystone species is the one which controls the population of other inferior species in an ecosystem. Here, sea otters consume sea urchins so the population of sea urchins remained in control Starfish controls the population of kelp forest.
