Answer: A substitution mutation can be defined as a mutation in which a single nucleotide is replaced by the other. As a single nucleotide changes in this process which does not create an effect on the final protein so it is a least dangerous type of DNA mutation.

Explanation:

There are three types of substitution mutation:

1. Silent mutation: In this the replaced single base pair gets replaced by the mutated RNA sequence producing the same amino acid. If the nucleotide composition gets changed it will produce the same amino acid.

2. Missense mutation: The nucleotide composition gets changed as a result of addition of different amino acid after mutation in the protein.

3. A nonsense mutation involves the change in the stop codon. This results in non-functioning of the protein.

Why did scientists FIRST hypothesize that a meteorite impact caused the extinction at the K-Pg Boundary? They found evidence of
Rudiy27

Answer:

They found evidence of an impact crater in Mexico

Explanation:

The K-Pg boundary is the boundary between the Cretaceous period and the Paleogene period, but also marking the end of the Mesozoic era and the beginning of the Cenozoic era. This boundary is dated to roughly 66 million years ago. The K-Pg boundary is characterized with a mass extinction. The dominant organisms on Earth all died out, including the dinosaurs, both terrestrial and aquatic, as well as the flying reptilians, with only the birds surviving from that super-family. The reason for the mass extinction has been an impact with an asteroid or a comet, that was very large and hit the Earth where the Yucatan Peninsula in modern day Mexico is located. The impact was devastating, with heat waves, tsunamis, earthquakes, triggering of the majority of the volcanoes, wildfires, all combined managed to devastate the environment, thus big portion of the species living in it as well. The lucky survivors were smaller organisms, and the mammals turned out to be the most successful in occupying the empty niches and have became the dominant organisms on the planet.
