Lisa [10]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

20% cytosine

30% thymine

Explanation:

Cytosine is paired with guanine so they must have the same percentage. Adenine is paired with thymine so they also must have the same percentage.

Please explain the difference between a frameshift mutation and a base substitution mutation.
harina [27]

Answer:

A frameshift changes every codon past it. A base substitution only changes one codon.

Explanation:

DNA is comprised of nucleotides (A, C, T, G) that make up amino acids. Every three bases is called a codon and represents an amino acid.

In a frameshift mutation, a nucleotide is either added or deleted from the sequence. This offsets the entire sequence after it because the reading frame shifts. Here's an example:

ACTGCTATCGTCATC

If another T is added in between the first and second codons, then every codon after will be changed.

ACT>T<GCTATCGTCATC

A substitution mutation is usually less severe, as it only alters one codon in the sequence. These occur when one nucleotide is replaced by another one. Here's an example:

ACTGCTATCGTCATC

Let's say the first G is replaced by a T.

ACT>T<CTATCGTCATC

As you can see, none of the other codons changed.

Typically, a frameshift mutation is considered worse than a substitution mutation.

All of the following are functions of the peripheral nervous system except
mixas84 [53]

The right option is; it interprets signals from the external environment  

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is made up of all parts of the nervous system, except the brain and spinal cord (parts of the central nervous system). The peripheral nervous system functions as a channel through which neural signals are transferred from and to the central nervous system. Two types of neurons (sensory and motor neurons) functions in the PNS. The motor neurons transfer neural signals from the central nervous system directly to various muscles, glands, and organs (effectors) throughout the body.

slava [35]
<span>Roan is a combination of white hairs with red hairs. When we see cattle like this, they look pink because it resulted from a mix of white and red.

Red allele: A
White allele: a
</span>
<span>A heterozygotic animal has this genotype: Aa
Like i said previously this is the mixture of colors so the animal would be pink.

A red coat color has this genotype: AA
A white coat color has this genotype: aa

To get all the herd to be</span><span> roan-colored cattle the combination of parents should be: AA x aa. -> 100% roan
Another possible way to obtain would be</span><span>roan-colored cattle: Aa x Aa or aa x Aa (in this case there would be less probabable to obtain road).</span>
