Convert 24 hours into minutes
24 hours = 1440 minutes
Divide 1440 by 15
There’s 96 divisions
Now take 2^96 power
You will have 7.9 x 10^28 bacteria

Please explain the difference between a frameshift mutation and a base substitution mutation.
harina [27]

Answer:

A frameshift changes every codon past it. A base substitution only changes one codon.

Explanation:

DNA is comprised of nucleotides (A, C, T, G) that make up amino acids. Every three bases is called a codon and represents an amino acid.

In a frameshift mutation, a nucleotide is either added or deleted from the sequence. This offsets the entire sequence after it because the reading frame shifts. Here's an example:

ACTGCTATCGTCATC

If another T is added in between the first and second codons, then every codon after will be changed.

ACT>T<GCTATCGTCATC

A substitution mutation is usually less severe, as it only alters one codon in the sequence. These occur when one nucleotide is replaced by another one. Here's an example:

ACTGCTATCGTCATC

Let's say the first G is replaced by a T.

ACT>T<CTATCGTCATC

As you can see, none of the other codons changed.

Typically, a frameshift mutation is considered worse than a substitution mutation.

<span>Vesicles are used to transport items in many different circumstances, so I'm not quite sure how to answer your question. Vesicles are used when transporting to and from the golgi apparatus, also when transporting molecules to lysosomes. They are even used when undergoing exocytosis. Basically, they are used to carry items/molecules/wastes around within cells
