Answer:

Answer is in explanation

Explanation:

A silent mutation is a mutation in which a single nucleotide base is changed, but that change does not effect the amino acid sequence. A missense mutation is a point mutation in which a single nucleotide is changed, resulting in a codon that codes for a different amino acid.

If a single base pair gets damaged and goes missing from an rna, what would most likely happen?

Vilka [71]

A frame-shift mutation would occur. This is because a deletion will cause a change in codon sequence from the point of mutation to the end of the mRNA. If the mutation is closer to the start of the mRNA, the larger the effect of the mutation on the translated protein.

Which of the following biomolecules is best represented by this formula?

Alona [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D. "lipid".

Explanation:

Lipids, known also as fats or oils, are organic compounds that are insoluble in water and are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The formula of this question shows a biomolecule that is made up of this three atoms, and even though carbohydrate are made up of this three atoms as well, we can determine that it belongs to a lipid because it contains many more hydrogen atoms than oxygen atoms. Other characteristic of lipids is their long chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms, which are represented by the lines shown in blue. I attached the missing formula.
