Answer:
48 amino acids
Explanation:
The wild type gene codes for a protein with 100 amino acids. One amino acid is encoded by one triplet code of the gene. This means that the wild type gene has a total 100 triplets or 300 nucleotides to code for a protein of 100 amino acid. Mutation in this protein has introduced the code "UAA" at the 49th codon. The code "UAA" is a stop codon. Therefore, the mRNA transcribed from the mutant allele would code for a protein having 48 amino acids as the protein synthesis will be stopped once the stop codon at the 49th position is read.
Answer:
directional selection
Explanation:
Directional selection is the most common type of natural selection and occurs when some individuals with characteristics favorable to the conditions of the environment in which they live, have survival advantages over individuals who do not have this advantage, who end up dying.
Imagine, for example, a graph showing the directional selection in the same species of moths. Moths of the same species have white and brown collations, in summer, brown moths can camouflage themselves on tree trunks, while white moths cannot and are easily captured by their predators, which means that the amount of white moths decrease. In this graph, the population of white moths would be at a minimum, at the same time that the population of brown moths would be at maximum.
However, with the arrival of the reverse, snow begins to cover the trees, allowing white moths to camouflage themselves more easily. The brown moths, then, are very exposed to predators, causing their population to reach the minimum while the population of white moths reaches the maximum.
The statement that best describes ecological succession is that it always occurs in a predictable pattern. The process is also slow. The correct answer is C.
Nucleic acids contain the genetic code.
