Answer:

if a mutation, for example, an insertion or a deletion of the nucleotide, occurs, this could result in the alteration of the reading frame. It completely changes the amino acid sequence. Such mutations are known as frameshift mutation (also called reading frame mutation, reading frame shift, or framing error).

Approximately 99% of the microbes in the intestines are obligate anaerobes. We have plenty of blood vessels that can bring oxyge

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The human gastrointestinal microbiota or the gut microbiota or the gut flora refers to the microbes, which thrive in the digestive tracts of humans. The human gastrointestinal tract comprises the gathering of all the genomes of gut microbiota. It is the niche where the human microbiota is found.

The microbial composition of the gut microbiota differs across the digestive tract. In the small intestine and stomach, very small species of bacteria are found, while the colon comprises the densely populated microbial ecosystem. Of these over 99 percent of the bacteria found in the gut are anaerobes, as the space within the intestines is highly anaerobic.

These microbes are confined deep within the body where oxygen cannot reach as it is not supplied with the help of blood vessels. Thus, a highly anaerobic environment is witnessed deep within the intestinal regions.

What is the atom of the element boron?

Agata [3.3K]

The atomic number is 5. The atomic number gives the number of protons. Protons which have a positive charge are balanced by an equal number of electrons in a neutral atom. Boron number 5 has five protons and therefore as a neutral atom also has five electrons. Boron atomic number 5 has five electrons in its ground state. Commonly Boron will lose 3 electrons leaving 2 electrons in its most common ionic form.

In order to make a protein the messenge on DNA must be converted to what?

Soloha48 [4]

Explanation:

-mRNA or messenger RNA

DNA wound into chromosomes within the nucleus is unwound, unzipped and read by enzymes in a complex series of steps known as transcription. The message on DNA, called genes is copied by RNA polymerase, to form mRNA complementary sequence to that of the DNA strand.

Further Explanation:

Nucleic acids are comprised of smaller units called nucleotides and function as storage for the body’s genetic information. These monomers include ribonucleic acid (RNA) or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). They differ from other macromolecules since they don’t provide the body with energy. They exist solely to encode and protein synthesis.

Basic makeup: C, H, O, P; they contain phosphate group 5 carbon sugar, these nitrogen bases which may contain single to double bond ring.

Nucleic acids like DNA stores all of an organism’s genetic information. Nucleic acid molecules comprise the nitrogenous bases Guanine, Adenine, Cytosine and Thymine. Conversely, RNA nucleotides are Adenine, Guanine, Cysteine and Uracil. These pair up as base pairs due to their varied structure- largely influenced by the location of N molecule.

In certain combinations, these bases form codons which act as instructions for protein synthesis. Codons are three nucleotide bases encoding an amino acid or signal at the beginning or end of protein synthesis.

RNA codons determine certain amino acids, so the order in which the bases occur within in the codon sequence designates which amino acid is to be made bus with the four RNA nucleotides (Adenine, Guanine, Cysteine and Uracil). Up to 64 codons (with 3 as stop codons) determine amino acid synthesis. The stop codons ( UAG UGA UAA) terminate amino acid/ protein synthesis while the start codon AUG begins protein synthesis.

Thus, these contribute to the broad diversity of living organisms, as varied combinations of these 64 codons can produce many proteins which can be organized into cells, tissues and organisms.

Identify the organelle where photosynthesis takes place. Image of a plant cellshown with letters A to H showing various organell

____ [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

A chloroplast is the organelles in which photosynthesis takes in plants. The chloroplast has thylakoid lamellae that occasionally arrange itself into stacks called grana where there are photosystem units that have chlorophyll pigment. The chlorophyll pigments tap energy from the photons of sunlight and use it for photophosphorylation.
