Biology
1 answer:
Setler79 [48]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A. Mutations change the nucleotide sequence of the gene, resulting in a different arrangement of amino acids.

Explanation:

Mutations alter the sequence of nucleotides in a molecule of DNA. DNA is used to create mRNA, which is used to create a chain of amino acids that make a protein. If the mutation changes the sequence of DNA, then the sequence of amino acids and the final protein will be different.

This can affect its structure and function. If the protein is a cell surface protein, and its structure is significantly altered, antibodies may no longer recognise and bind to the protein.

lakkis [162]

Answer:

it could not be used because it can attracts the magnets in which compass it self is a form of magnet which can utilize the magnetic properties of the earth to give a reading and Compass housings are often made of either brass, aluminium or plastic.

Explanation:

The characteristic of iron that would make it a bad material for the housing around a compass is that it could not be used because it can attracts the magnets in which compass it self is a form of magnet which can utilize the magnetic properties of the earth to give a reading reason been that Compass housings are often made of either brass, aluminium or plastic

Secondly it would confuse the magnet thereby making it un-useful or useless because the iron can easily become magnetized itself and Iron is a magnetic metal which can cause the needle of a compass to give a false reading thereby messing up the magnet's direction and making it useless.
