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>

The correct answer is "a steroid hormone that reduces the amount of fluid excreted in the urine".
Aldosterone is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal gland, whose main function is the homeostatic regulation of the blood pressure, plasma sodium, and plasma potassium levels.
Aldosterone's main mechanism of action is to regulate the reabsorption of sodium and excretion of potassium in the kidney, which in turn influences the retention of water and the volume and pressure of the blood. Based on all this, aldosterone reduces the amount of fluid excreted in the urine.

When do bacteria need genetic information?
e-lub [12.9K]

Bacteria have either DNA or RNA as genetic material. This genetic material must be able to replicate efficiently and accurately in order to make sure that offspring inherit the same genotype as the parent organism. This is possible because of genetic information.

pashok25 [27]

The parental phenotype is the mother's free earlobes (Ff) and the father's nonfree earlobes (ff).

<h3>What genotype and phenotype?</h3>

The genotype refers to the information present in an individual's genome. Unlike the phenotype, it is not observable and rarely changes. The phenotype, in turn, depends on a combination between our genotype and the environment and can be defined as the observable characteristics of an individual.

With this information, we can conclude that the parental phenotype is the mother's free earlobes (Ff) and the father's nonfree earlobes (ff).

The producers had 6,000 kcal of energy , how much would be passed to the primary consumer?
morpeh [17]

Answer:

600 kcal

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, energy is transferred from one organism in a trophic level to another organism in another trophic level. Organisms called PRODUCERS are capable of deriving energy from the sun. However, when fed upon by PRIMARY CONSUMERS, only about 10% of the energy is transferred to them because most of the energy (90%) is lost as heat.

Hence, in this case where the producers had 6,000 kcal of energy, 10% i.e. 10/100 of 6000 = 600 kcal of energy will be transferred to the primary consumers.
