Answer:

C. I and III

Explanation:

A mutation needs to occur in a gamete cell in order to be passed down to the next generation.

If it occurs in a somatic (body) cell, the mutation will only be present in that organism.

On the other hand, in a gamete cell, the mutation will pass down because gamete cells are directly involved in the genetic makeup of the offspring.

So, since sperm and egg cells are gametes, mutations in those cells would get passed on.

The correct answer is C. I and III

In your own words, describe the purpose and process of translation. The purpose of translation is… The process of translation is

kondaur [170]

Answer:

the purpose of the translation is to make proteins. proteins are responsible for making bones, muscles, cartilage, skin and blood. proteins are synthesized from the information in a mRNA.

Process of translation

it happens in 3 phases

initiation: the small ribosomal subunits binds to the start of the of the mRNA sequence. then a tRNA molecule carrying the amino acid methoionine binds to start codon of the mRNA sequence. after that large ribosomal subunit binds to form the complete intiation complex.
elongation: the ribosome continues to translate each codon in turn each corresponding amino acid is added to the growing chain and linked via bond called peptide bond. elongation continues untill all the codons are read.
termination: it occurs when the ribosome reaches a stop codon. since there is no tRNA molecules that can recognise these codons the ribosome recognises that translation is complete.

after these 3 phases a new protein is realeasd

Trava [24]

I believe he is looking for an allele
An allele is a variant form of a gene. Some genes have a variety of different forms, which are located at the same position, or genetic locus, on a chromosomes. Humans are called diploid organisms because they have two alleles at each genetic locus, with one allele inherited from each parent.

Which synapse(s) are specifically responsible for the habituation of the withdrawal response?

fredd [130]

<u>Sensory neuron to motor neuron</u> are specifically responsible for the habituation of the withdrawal response.

The withdrawal reflex, which is the automatic withholding of a limb from a painful stimulation, is what is known as this automatic reaction.
Humans are shielded by this reflex from tissue necrosis brought on by exposure to noxious stimuli like pain or heat. Either the upper or lower limbs may experience it.
A somatic reflex, like the withdrawal reflex, and a visceral reflex, an autonomic reflex, differ in that the latter has an efferent branch.
The lower motor neuron in the ventral horn of the spinal cord, which immediately projects to a skeletal muscle to produce its contraction, is the output of a somatic reflex.
