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.

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Hello!!! Princess Sakura here ^^

Explanation:

True because the xylem transports water from the roots to the rest of the plant's body above ground and can only move up, whereas the phloem transports organic compounds both up and down the plant.
