B. Stems absorbed water and minerals from soil
Hope this helps! :)
Option C:
B. wild-type 5-AUGCAUACAUUGGAGUGA-3 mutant 5'-AUGCAUACAUCUGGAGUGA- 3'
Explanation:
A frameshift mutation is a genetic mutation such that the triplet nature of gene expression by codons, the insertion or deletion occurs in such as way that it alters the complete sequence of 3 codon sets and can change the reading frame, resulting in a completely different translation from the original.
As it is pertinent to understanding that all genes are normally translated in sets of 3 codons, which typically describes and explain a unique amino acid sequence. Thus, if a frame shift mutation occurs, it can affect many amino acid sequences and finally the entire protein.
If we look at option B:
wild-type 5-AUG CAU ACA UUG GAG UGA-3
mutant 5’- AUG CAU ACA UCU GGA GUG A-3’
An insertion of a base Uracil showed at the end of 3rd codon which affected and altered the whole sequence of codon triplets. This changed all next codons and finally all next amino acids will be altered.
Answer:
100% of the progeny will be speckled
Explanation:
<u>Available data:</u>
- Three colors: dark brown, light brown, and speckled.
- The genotypes for these colors are BB for dark brown, bb for light
brown, and Bb for speckled.
Cross: dark brown crab with a light brown crab
Parentals) BB x bb
Gametes) B B b b
Punnett square)
B B
b Bb Bb
b Bb Bb
F1) Genotype:
4/4 = 100% of the progeny will be heterozygous for the trait, Bb
Phenotype:
4/4 = 100% of the progeny will be speckled
B. A persistent neurotoxin is a substance that damages the brain and nervous system
