Answer:
A) A mutation in a single gene can result in a defective protein.
Explanation:
This hypothesis states that one gene codes for one protein-enzyme, so consequently, if mutation occurs in that gene, the enzyme will not work properly. This hypothesis was very important for the fundamental discoveries of molecular biology, but it is oversimplified meaning that relationship between genes and proteins is much more complex.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Toxoplasma is a congenital disease that is characterized by mild muscle aches, tender lymph nodes, etc. and in some immuno-compromised individuals, seizures and coordination loss may occur. I
The disease is caused by a protozoan known as <em>Toxoplasma gondii </em>and its infection is usually by eating foods (usually meats) that contain the cyst of the organism or making contact with cats that are infected in addition to infected mother-baby transmission, especially during pregnancy.
<em>Hence, humans can contract the organism not just by exposure to an infected cat but also by eating meats that contain the cysts of the organism.</em>
Answer: Purine; is equal to; pyrimidine
Explanation:
When a segment of DNA is examined then the nucleotide in one DNA molecule, it will be expected that the sum of purine in one strand will be equal to the sum of the pyrimidine in the other strand.
Adenine combines with Thymine and Cytosine combines with Guanine in 1:1 ratio.
More specifically the ratio of purine is to pyramidine is 1:1 in an organism. This pattern is seen in both the strands of the DNA.
