You are reading a scientific article about cheetahs that have stripes down their backs instead of spots. The article refers to t

his as a genetic mutation. Though they have no negative impact on the cheetahs' fitness, why are the stripes nevertheless considered a genetic mutation?
A. Mutations are often adaptively neutral
B. Most mutations emerge as evolutionary disadvantages eventually.
C. Mutations rarely have an effect on the phenotype
D. Most mutations only cause inconsequential changes in appearance

Which of the three types of viruses shown above would you expect to include glycoproteins?
Mademuasel [1]
The correct answer is D: I and II only.
Viruses have protein capsids, which protect their genetic material. This capsid sometimes is covered by viral envelopes which have glycoproteins on their surface. Glycoproteins help in the process of binding to the host cell and infecting it. In this example, virus III has the structure of a bacteriophage and it does not seem to have glycoproteins. Bacteriophages use their tail fibers to attach to the bacterial host and inject their genetic material. On the contrary, viruses I and II have glycoproteins sticking out of their envelopes.

If a cytosine base is substituted for by a thymine base in a DNA segment during DNA replication, the sequence could code for the wrong amino acid during translation.

The change in the sequence of DNA is known as mutation.

When a base substitution occurs in the sequence of a DNA during replication, the genetic information in the region where the substitution occurred becomes compromised.

During transcription, the process of encoding genetic information on DNA into RNA, the base substituted is also transcribed along. If cytosine is substituted by thymine, adenine is transcribed instead of guanine.

During the translation of the genetic codes, the wrong amino acids might end up being translated due to the substituted base, leading to a faulty protein.

kkurt [141]

Answer:

the oxygen concentration decreases only when the air reaches the alveoli, which are the terminal branches of the respiratory system

Explanation:

The human respiratory system is responsible for taking in oxygen-rich air, and they expelling oxygen-poor air. The respiratory system consists of lungs, which helps in the exchange of gases: Oxygen and carbon dioxide.

The statement ''the oxygen concentration decreases only when the air reaches the alveoli, which are the terminal branches of the respiratory system'' explains the change in oxygen concentration of the inspired air
