An insertion mutation example

Biology
1 answer:
Klio2033 [76]3 years ago
3 0
Insertion mutations can be small, like in the CAGTC example in which only one nucleotide was inserted, or they can be large, with many nucleotides being added. If the number of bases inserted is not a multiple of three, then the insertion mutation is also considered a frameshift mutation.

Hope this helps :D

Explain the difference between haploid and diploid cells
iren2701 [21]

Answer: Haploid cells contain a single set of chromosomes while diploid cells contain two sets of chromosomes. Haploid cells have half the number of chromosomes as in the parent cell while diploid cells contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Diploid cells produces two daughter cells in mitosis while haploid cells produce four daughter cells in meiosis. Diploid cells have (2n) number of chromosomes while haploid cells have (n) number of chromosomes. Diploid cells are somatic cells or body cells while haploid cells are sex cells or gametes.

What is cell surface to volume ratio and why is it important in cell functioning? Can it explain why cells are so small?
MrMuchimi
<span>The main reason surface area to volume ratio is important to a cell is because the surface area to volume ratio determines the rate at which cells uptake nutrients, liquids or gases. For instance, I have two organisms, A and B. Organism A has a surface area to volume ratio of 6:1, whereas organism B has a surface area to volume ratio of 3:1. As organism A has a greater surface area to volume ratio, it means that organism A will be able to take up nutrients, liquids or gases via diffusion or osmosis at a greater rate than organism B, as it has more surface with which to exchange nutrients, liquids or gases. </span>

DNA replication and transmission to daughter organelles produces cytoplasmic inheritance of characters associated with primary events in photosynthesis and respiration. The prokaryotic ancestors of chloroplasts and mitochondria were endosymbionts whose genes became copied to the genomes of their cellular hosts.
