Answer:
The correct answer is - segregation.
Explanation:
The law of segregation states that out of two factors or alleles of a gene located in an organism, only one allele or factor is distributed to each sperm cell or egg cell (gamete) randomly, So, the segregation of the alleles are random and only one allele is distributed to each gamete according to this law.
The law of segregation helps in making a different combination of alleles in a particular species or population and leads to variation in genetics. It makes sure that traits distribute to each generation randomly.
Ecology is one component of Environmental Science that studies organismal interactions.
So your answer is c. interactions
Answer:
Normal Strand: alanine - methionine - histidine
Mutated Strand: glutamine - cysteine - no third amino acid.
Explanation:
<h3>mRNA Structure</h3>
Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is the RNA that is used in cells for protein synthesis. It has a single strand made by the transcription of DNA by RNA polymerase. It contains four nucleotides: Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C), and Uracil (U).
<h3>DNA Replication</h3>
Before transcribing, we need to create the complementary strand of the DNA. We're going to write out the nucleotides of the complementary strand by matching the nucleotides in these pairs: (A & T) and (C & G).
Normal Strand: GCA ATG CAC
Complementary Strand: CGT TAC GTG
Next, we can transcribe this to find our mRNA. We're going to do the same thing to the complementary DNA strand, but with Uracils instead of Thymines. So our pairs are: (A & U) and (C & G)
Complementary DNA Strand: CGT TAC GTG
mRNA Strand: GCA AUG CAC
You'll notice that the mRNA strand is almost exactly like the new mRNA strand, but with Uracil instead of Thymine.
<h3>Reading Codons</h3>
Each set of three nucleotides is known as a codon, which encodes the amino acids that ribosomes make into proteins. To read the codons, you need to have a chart like the one I attached. Start in the middle and work your way to the edge of the circle. Some amino acids have multiple codons. There are also "stop" and "start" codons that signify the beginning and ends of proteins.
mRNA Strand: GCA AUG CAC
Amino Acids: Ala Met His
Our sequence is alanine, methionine, and histidine.
<h3>Frameshift Mutations</h3>
A frameshift mutation occurs when a nucleotide is either added or removed from the DNA. It causes your reading frame to shift and will mess up every codon past where the mutation was. This is different than a point mutation, where a nucleotide is <em>swapped</em> because that will only mess up the one codon that it happened in. Frameshift mutations are usually more detrimental than point mutations because they cause wider spread damage.
<h3>Mutated Strand</h3>
Let's repeat what we did earlier on the mutated strand to see what changed.
Mutated Strand: CAA TGC AC
Complementary Strand: GTT ACG TG
---
Complementary DNA Strand: GTT ACG TG
mRNA Strand: CAA UGC AC
---
mRNA Strand: CAA UGC AC
Amino Acids: Glu Cys X
---
Our amino acid sequence is glutamine, cysteine, and no third amino acid.
As you can see, removing the first nucleotide of the strand caused every codon to change. The last codon is now incomplete and won't be read at all. If this happened in a cell, the protein that was created from this mutated strand would be incorrect and may not function completely or at all.
True, cacrinogen is a cancer causing substance that have the ability to damage the genome or to the disruption of cellular metabolic process.
Carcinogen doesnt necessarily an immidiate toxic, but the effect can be insidours.
In our daily life, we can found a carcinogen in a burned food, thats why we should be careful not to overcook our barbecue to avoid this substance
