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.

Quade is studying for an exam, which will cover neurons and action potentials. He has drawn a diagram that shows the segments of
VMariaS [17]

Answer: positive sodium ions

Explanation:

This relates to the Action Potential which is what a nerve cell goes through when it needs to send information down the nerve cell to another cell and so on till it gets to the destination of the message.

The information is transmitted when the segments of the axon fire and when they do, positive sodium ions come in from outside the cell to the inside thereby making the inside positive. The previous segment would return to a resting potential when potassium ions which are negative, rush into the cell.

scientists think that the flagellum and the light sensitive spot work together. suggest how this might happen
artcher [175]

the flagellum helps the cell to move through water. Scientists think that the flagellum and the light-sensitive spot work together to increase photosynthesis. Light sensitive spot detects light.

I researched this! Hope it helps!
