Answer:
I gotcha.
1. A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.
2. GMO crops contribute to food security, sustainability, the environment and climate change.
3. As GMOs stand today, there are no health benefits to eating them over non-GMO foods. However, this may change in the future as technology develops and becomes more sophisticated.
4. Increased use of toxic herbicides and pesticides, Pleiotropy – unforeseen consequences and Contamination
5. (You answer)
I hope this helped! :)
Prokaryotes: do not have a nucleus, use starch for energy, smaller ribosomes (70s)
eukaryotes: do have a nucleus, use glucose for energy, and have bigger ribosomes (80s)
Answer:
The start codon is AUG
Explanation:
A three nucleotide sequence (represented with bases) of a DNA or a RNA which translates to a specific amino acid is referred to as codon. To begin the translation into a new protein, the first three nucleotide is always AUG (called the START codon) which is the codon for methionine.
NOTE: AUG is the initial of the bases; Adenine, Uracil and Guanine
Answer:
G and K
Explanation:
Crossing-over is a genetic phenomenon that occurs in meiosis, specifically, Prophase I. It is when chromosomal segment (genes) are exchanged between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. Crossing-over occurs only to genes that are UNLINKED i.e. genes located on different chromosomes or far apart on the same chromosome.
This unlinked genes are said to have the highest RECOMBINATION FREQUENCY. Crossing-over allows genes on the same chromosome but far apart from each other, assort independently, which allows alleles to be recombined on the same chromosome. This phenomenon does not occur to genes that are close on the same chromosome as they will be inherited together as a unit.
In this case, G and K are the farthest apart, hence, they will have the highest RECOMBINATION FREQUENCY i.e. the likelihood for homologous crossing-over to take place during meiosis.
Answer:
C. Primary, secondary, and tertiary structures would be altered
Explanation:
Frameshift mutations refer to the mutations that change the reading frame of the gene. Frameshift mutations are mostly caused by insertion or deletion of nucleotide since addition or loss of nucleotide alters all the codons present downstream of the point of the mutation site. If frameshift mutation occurs at the beginning of the protein sequence, all the downstream amino acids would be altered.
The changed amino acid sequence would alter the primary structure of the protein. Since the secondary and tertiary structure of proteins is determined by interactions between the R groups of amino acids, their polarity, charge, etc., the altered amino acid sequence would also alter secondary, and tertiary of the protein.
