Answer:

Base substitution mutation

Explanation:

Mutation is the alteration or change that occurs to the sequence of a gene caused by a mutagen (chemicals) or spontaneously-induced. Depending on how the mutation occurs, it is of different types. The mutation shown in this question is as follows:

ATCGGCTTAACG to ATCGGCTAAACG

This type of mutation is called SUBSTITUTION MUTATION. Substitution mutation is a type of mutation that involves the replacement of one or more nucleotide base by another. In this original sequence; ATCGGCTTAACG, the eight base T was replaced by base A in the sequence, hence, it is a substitution mutation.

The recommendation and use of drugs based on the testing of animals is always reliable. True OR False

aleksklad [387]

False. It's not always reliable. For example, in lab mice, saccharin has caused tumors. But for humans to get cancer from saccharin, we would have to take in astronomical levels of saccharin, which we, as humans, don't do.

What is the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic clotting?

KengaRu [80]

They're two different clotting pathways that use different factors. Though, the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways come together at factor X and eventually result in fibrinogen (factor I) being converted into a fibrin clot by prothrombin (factor II).

Extrinsic begins with factor VII and intrinsic begins with factor XII
