<span>The genetic term used to describe an observable trait is phenotype. More specifically phenotype is the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.</span>
Answer:
d) a polypeptide missing an amino acid.
Explanation:
Deletion is a type of mutation when one or more codons from the reading frame are removed. This results in the production of a relatively shorter mRNA that lacks one or more codons otherwise present in the non-mutated mRNA. When there is a deletion of a single codon in the gene for cystic fibrosis, the resultant shorter mRNA codes for a polypeptide chain that does not carry one amino acid. For example, deletion of one codon results in deletion of a Phe residue present at position 508 in CFTR. The mutated transmembrane protein CFTR folds in an improper way.
Answer:
Meiosis is important because it ensures that all organisms produced via sexual reproduction contain the correct number of chromosomes.
Explanation:
Hypertonic solution means the solution with a lower water potential than the cell cytoplasm, such as salt water.
When the red blood cell is put into it, since the cell has a higher water potential than the solution, water molecules will flow from the cell back into the water due to osmosis.
Osmosis is always where water molecules flow from a region of higher water potential to lower, through a semi permeable membrane (Whcih is the red blood cell membrane in this case.)
Since water flowed out of the cell, the cell lose water and shrinks.
Hypotonic solution is where the solution that has a higher water potential than the cell cytoplasm.
So when the red blood cell is put in that solution, the water will flow from the solution into the cell this time, by osmosis.
The red blood cell will then gain so much water that the cell membrane cannot hold all and therefore burst.
Answer:
The inputs can be material, such as the silicon used in the computer chips in a phone, or energy, which is used, for example, to manufacture and operate a phone. Outputs can be usable products or wastes, which must be disposed or recycled. A life cycle analysis of a cell phone also includes an analysis of its individual parts.
