Answer:

c. A chromosomal mutation can change the total number of chromosomes in the cell.

Explanation:

A gene mutation affects a single gene, and replication error is the main cause of gene mutation. A chromosomal mutation affects one part of chromosome or full chromosome. error in meiosis is the main cause of chromosomal mutation. Both mutations are responsible for a change in DNA. A chromosomal mutation leads to the change in total number of chromosomes in the cell.

From the point of view of energy use why is recycling better?

scoray [572]

When recycling we are reusing old stuff we get rid of and making it better like for example when you recycle plastic that plastic can turn into a toy for a kid or recycling an old rusty metal that can turn into a bed or a new table. Recycling is really good for the environment because you are changing something old into something new.

Hope this helped :)

V125BC [204]

Answer:

II. the textures of organs

Explanation:

A human torso model is designed to be as accurate as possible so that students/researchers can understand the inner workings of the body. Therefore, the organs have been designed to be the same size of an actual human being of that stature, while also being in the correct position within the body to better understand the interrelationships between the organs. The only thing that is not accurate in these models is the texture of the organs as most are smooth plastic unlike the actual organs.

Every HIV particle contains two RNA molecules. If two genes from one RNA moleculebecome detached and then, as a unit, get attach

natita [175]

Answer:

One of the RNA molecules has experienced gene duplication as the result of translocation.

Explanation:

Translocation and duplication are some of the structural abnormalities in the chromosomes that may even cause certain genetic disorders. Duplication is the presence of a genetic segment for more than one time in the chromosome. The repeated genetic segments are mostly present in the tandem pattern. When a chromosome fragment breaks off and attaches to a non-homologous chromosome, it is called translocation. It leads to the deletion of a genetic segment in one chromosome and duplication in the other.

According to the given information, a genetic segment bearing two genes is detached from one RNA and gets attached to the other RNA molecule of the HIV genome. Therefore, the RNA molecule has undergone translocation and has lost a genetic segment while the other has gained a genetic segment (duplication) due to translocation.

In multicellular organisms individual cells grow and then divide via a process called mitosis, thereby allowing the organism to grow. Cellular division and differentiation produce and maintain a complex organism, composed of systems of tissues and organs that work together to meet the needs of the whole organism.
