Answer:

1. Given the DNA sequence: G-A-C-A-T-T-C-C-G, the complementary sequence is C-T-G-T-A-A-G-G-C (a).

2. Given the DNA sequence: G-A-C-A-T-T-C-C-G, the insertion sequence is G-A-C-G-A-T-T-C-C-G (b).

3. Given the DNA sequence: G-A-C-A-T-T-C-C-G, the deletion sequence is G-A-C-A-T-C-C-G (d).

4. Given the DNA sequence: G-A-C-A-T-T-C-C-G, the inversion sequence is G-A-C-T-A-T-C-C-G (c).

Explanation:

The complementary sequence of DNA is a sequence of complementary nucleotides. The complement is a nitrogenous base that correctly pairs with the base that is given. In DNA, Adenine (A) correctly pairs with Thymine (T), and Guanine (G) with Cytosine (C). Therefore, the complement of A is T, and of C, is G.

The given sequence complement would be C-T-G-T-A-A-G-G-C since it's a sequence of bases that correctly pairs with the given sequence, G-A-C-A-T-T-C-C-G. [ G-A-C-A-T-T-C-C-G | C-T-G-T-A-A-G-G-C ] Notice that the first base in the sequences is G and C respectively. The next two are A and T. The paring is such that C complements G, and that A, T.

2. An insertion sequence is one in which there is an extra added nucleotide or codon. [ G-A-C-A-T-T-C-C-G ] Notice that there are three Triplets in this sequence. In a case where there is an extra nucleotide(s) or codon(s), such is termed an insertion mutation. When the given sequence is compared with the sequence in option b, G-A-C-G-A-T-T-C-C-G, you can observe an extra nucleotide [G - the fourth letter in the sequence]. Therefore, this sequence is called an insertion sequence.

3. Deletion mutation is an error in the DNA replication process that removes a nucleotide(s) from the genome. Hence a sequence that has a nucleotide(s) removed from the original sequence is called a deletion sequence. With the given sequence, G-A-C-A-T-T-C-C-G, the deletion sequence to this is G-A-C-A-T-C-C-G. [G-A-C-A-T-C-C-G ] Notice that one of the nucleotides, T, is missing.

4. Inversion mutation is a chromosome rearrangement in which a chromosome is reversed end to end. This involves breaking and rearrangement within a sequence. With the given sequence, G-A-C-A-T-T-C-C-G, an inverted sequence is G-A-C-T-A-T-C-C-G. [ G-A-C-T-A-T-C-C-G] Notice the first two nucleotides, of the second codon (....-T-A-T-...). The original sequence has....-A-T-T-...., but the new sequence here has...-T-A-T-.... Suggesting that the first two nucleotides were broken and rearranged end to end.

Tresset [83]
A. i think its this because they get their energy from gravity. its originally potential energy as a cloud but as the water droplets condense and collect into rain drops they get heavy and that potential energy is turned into kinetic energy. this isnt up there so A.

algol [13]

Answer:

A. Adaptation

Explanation:

Adaptation refers to the evolutionary process in which organisms undergo mutation or genetic change over many generations, which makes the organisms become better suited to multiply and survive in its habitat. The genetic mutation of Daphnia which makes them develop a trait that makes subsequent generations to prefer warmer environments is an example of adaptation of the organism to his environment.
