Your scan of Lucy's ADA gene showed a mutation in the active site. Why was this mutation not a problem?

notsponge [240]

Answer:

it does not disturb the overall function of the active site

Explanation:

The gene mutation will not have an effect on the active site. This is because the mutation affects the non-essential amino acid or protein in the molecule. This causes the molecule to be in the same state and shape it was. In addition, the Quaternary protein structure has many proteins on the active site. Hence the mutation will not be significant and detrimental to the overall structure and function of the molecule.

Which gaseous giants did Renaissance scientists such as Galileo know about?

Anna007 [38]

The correct answer is:

a. Jupiter

Explanation:

In 1610, Galileo Galilei turned his rudimentary telescope on Jupiter and understood that it had 4 large moons orbiting it: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. This was an amazing discovery because it explained that Earth was not the center of the Universe as champions of the geocentric view assumed.

<h2>Polychaetes </h2>

Explanation:

Polychaetes is any of the diverse, mostly marine segmented worms of the annelid class Polychaeta, characterized by having most segments with one pair of lateral, fleshy, lobe like appendages called parapodia, with numerous bristles projecting from them
Polychaetes have true segments and anterior to the true segments lie the prostomium and peristomium
This head region of two segments typically contains two pairs of eyes, three antennae, several tentacles, a pair of palps, and the mouth
Polychaeta is divided into Errantia and Sedentaria for convenience
Errantia (scaleworms, sea mice):A subclass of polychaete worms which have a large number of body segments, those of the head and posterior differing from the rest,the mouth often has several paired jaws
Most are vagile predators, others adopt a burrowing mode of life and are first recorded from the Cambrian
Sedentaria (bamboo worms, coneworms):A subclass of entirely marine worms in which the body segments and parapodia differ along the length of an individual,all Sedentaria are burrowers or tube-dwellers and are first recorded from the Ordovician
