The mutation is a change in the nucleotidic sequence. In the exposed example, Patient 1: nucleotide 143, T<u>T</u>C⇒T<u>G</u>C. Patient 2: nucleotide 143, T<u>T</u>C⇒T<u>C</u>C. Patient 3: nucleotide 147, TT<u>C</u> ⇒ TT<u>G</u>.

<h3>What is a mutation?</h3>

A mutation is a change or alteration in DNI sequences that introduce new variants.

Many of these are eliminated, but some of them might succeed and be incorporated into each individual.

These mutations are the ones that have been selected by natural selection.

<h3>Solving the problem</h3>

We know that each sequence initiates with nucleotide number 103 and ends in nucleotide 162.

So first, we will number the nucleotides, from 103 to 162. Each nucleotide has a number in increasing order.

Now, we will identify the mutations in each of the strands by comparing them with the wild-type sequence. The mutation occurs in one of the nucleotides, so we must look for the change in the bases.

Finally, we will identify the nucleotide location of each mutation.

                   nucleotide                 wild-type                mutated

<u>                       location                 nucleotide              nucleotide      </u><u>           </u>

Patient 1            143                         TTC                         TGC

Patient 2           143                         TTC                         TCC

<u>Patient 3           147                          TTC                        TTG                         </u>

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Water in the lake (hydrosphere) seeps into the cliff walls behind the dam, becoming groundwater (lithosphere), or evaporating into the air (atmosphere). Humans (biosphere) harness energy from the water (hydrosphere) by having it spin turbines (lithosphere) to produce electricity.

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is b) the uses an area of land can be put to </em>

Explanation:

Zoning laws can be described as guidelines which characterize how any municipal area should be divided. Zoning laws are laws which are to be followed to make zones in an area. For example, the making of residential or industrial zones. The type of land or zone determines whether permission should be given to develop the zone or not. Zoning laws determine which area should be ideal to construct what buildings and how a particular zone should be utilized.
