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.

Where are the different levels of the atmosphere located?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Troposphere

The troposphere starts at the Earth's surface and extends 8 to 14.5 kilometers high (5 to 9 miles). This part of the atmosphere is the most dense. Almost all weather is in this region.

Stratosphere

The stratosphere starts just above the troposphere and extends to 50 kilometers (31 miles) high. The ozone layer, which absorbs and scatters the solar ultraviolet radiation, is in this layer.

Mesosphere

The mesosphere starts just above the stratosphere and extends to 85 kilometers (53 miles) high. Meteors burn up in this layer

Thermosphere

The thermosphere starts just above the mesosphere and extends to 600 kilometers (372 miles) high. Aurora and satellites occur in this layer.

Ionosphere

The ionosphere is an abundant layer of electrons and ionized atoms and molecules that stretches from about 48 kilometers (30 miles) above the surface to the edge of space at about 965 km (600 mi), overlapping into the mesosphere and thermosphere. This dynamic region grows and shrinks based on solar conditions and divides further into the sub-regions: D, E and F; based on what wavelength of solar radiation is absorbed. The ionosphere is a critical link in the chain of Sun-Earth interactions. This region is what makes radio communications possible.

Exosphere

This is the upper limit of our atmosphere. It extends from the top of the thermosphere up to 10,000 km (6,200 mi).

If round seeds is dominant to wrinkled seeds in peas, what type of stem will the offspring of a round seed plant and a wrinkled
Phoenix [80]

Since the round seed gene is the dominant gene, it follows that, a cross between  a round seed plant and a wrinkled seed plant will lead to only round seed offspring.

<h3>What is genetics?</h3>

Genetics is the science that studies the patterns of inheritance. The unit of inheritance located in the chromosome is called the gene.

Since the gene for having round seeds is dominant over the gene for having wrinkeled seeds, a cross between  a round seed plant and a wrinkled seed plant will lead to only round seed offspring.
