If a cytosine base is substituted for by a thymine base in a DNA segment during DNA replication, the sequence could code for the wrong amino acid during translation.

The change in the sequence of DNA is known as mutation.

When a base substitution occurs in the sequence of a DNA during replication, the genetic information in the region where the substitution occurred becomes compromised.

During transcription, the process of encoding genetic information on DNA into RNA, the base substituted is also transcribed along. If cytosine is substituted by thymine, adenine is transcribed instead of guanine.

During the translation of the genetic codes, the wrong amino acids might end up being translated due to the substituted base, leading to a faulty protein.

Look at the dichotomous key below. How are Anopheles mosquitoes different
Hunter-Best [27]

Explanation:

Classification systems function in order to organize a group of organisms into smaller groups according to some kind of logic. For example, the most used classifications system in biology is the phyllogenetic, which classifies living beings according to their evolutive affinity.

In the other hand, a dichotomous key is a "guide" used by biologists when they need to indentify an individual. It is organized in several steps regarding some key characteristics in order to guide you to which species/genus/family your individual belongs to. A dichotomous key never provides any kind of trustworthy phyllogenetic information, and should be understood only as a tool.

Robert, an aspiring scientist in a biology class, wanted to conduct a study on the effects of cigarette smoke on the web-buildin
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

<em>The statement that is incorrect is :</em>

<em>Robert wanted to see if his theory was true that cigarette smoke will influence web-building in spiders.</em>

Explanation:

A theory can be described as a descriptive explanation of a phenomenon which is supported by valid experiments and careful examination of facts. As Robert, has not conducted any experiments nor has proved his study with reference to facts, hence it cannot be considered as a theory.

Robert wanted to see if his observation was true that cigarette smoke will influence web-building in spiders will be the correct statement that could be used.
