Answer: B. evaporation, condensation, precipitation
Explanation:
The cycle that ensures that fresh water is available is called the Hydrological cycle and it involves several key processes.
As it is a cycle, none of the processes can be considered first but if any could, it would be evaporation. This is when water on the surface is heated and becomes water vapor (gas) and rises towards the atmosphere.
Condensation occurs as the water vapor rises because the further up you go, the colder it gets. These water vapor particles will thus condense and clump together to form clouds.
These clouds keep getting larger until they are too heavy to be carried by the atmosphere in which case they fall to the ground as rain the process known as precipitation.
A Enzymes read the DNA code and build a new DNA molecule from scratch
Answer:
A mutation in <u>DNA </u>results in a change in <u>RNA </u>that sometimes produces a <u>protein </u>with altered structure and function.
Explanation:
DNA is the hereditary material which causes gene expression in our body by producing protein. The type of protein which is produced by DNA totally depends upon the sequence of nucleotides in the DNA. But, DNA molecule does not produce protein directly. Initially it produces RNA (mRNA, tRNA, rRNA) by the process of transcription, the nucleotides in the RNA are complimentary to those in DNA. In short, the message regarding the structure and composition of the type protein to be produced by DNA is first decoded from DNA in the form of RNA. These RNA molecules then synthesize the protein as per the instructions from DNA by the process of translation.
But, in case a mutation occurs in the DNA which causes a change in it's nucleotide/nucleotides, the protein which will be produced will be different in the structure and function than the protein which was supposed to be synthesized. It happens because, a triplet of nucletiodes in the DNA and hence RNA specifies a particular type of amino acid and several amino acids are joined in a long chain to form polypeptide which ultimately forms protein. But, if any nucleotide in the triplet is changed due to mutation it may change the amino acid and if amino acid will change the protein will also get altered.
