Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A) Deletion

B) Duplication

C) Inversion

D) Insertion

The correct answer is Insertion mutation

Explanation:

Mutation refers to changes that occur to the nucleotide sequence of a gene or DNA. Mutation produces different effect in the mutated organism and is classified based on how it occurs. Mutations can be deletion, insertion, duplication, inversion etc.

Based on the description of the mutation that occured to the bacterium sequence, it is an INSERTION MUTATION. An insertion mutation is a kind of mutation in which extra nucleotide bases are added to the original sequence. This is the case of this bacteria sequence, which was previously found to contain: ATCGGGATCCT.

After few generations, nucleotide bases "GGG" i.e three Guanine bases has been added to the sequence to give a mutated sequence: ATCGGGGGGATCCT.

Blababa [14]

Answer:

A homozygous dominant trait can be described as a trait in which both the alleles of a gene are the dominant one. For example, the AA genotype of the 80 brown gerbils.

A heterozygous trait can be described as the trait in which one of the alleles is dominant and the other is recessive. For example, the Aa genotype of the 64 brown gerbils.

A recessive trait can be described as a trait in which both the alleles are recessive. For example, the aa genotype of the black gerbils.

The completed table is shown in the attachment.

Summarize variations in climate among three major zones as you travel south from the equator toward the South Pole?
Ainat [17]
Equator area: closest to the sun and hot and humid due to the mass evaporation from the excess heat. 

Mid equator/south pole: somewhat mild, colder, probably mid-humid, depending on which end of the midsection you're going for

South Pole: cold and dry. Cold because it's naturally far away from the sun (like the north pole) and dry because there isn't significant water evaporation here and any that may form crystallizes into snow and ice.

Due to an unusually high concentration of particles inside of a cell, the membrane starts to expand and finally bursts. which pr
erastovalidia [21]

Out of the following given choices;

A. The cell is unable to get more water into the cell.

 

B. The cell is unable to build more protein molecules.

 

C. The cell is unable to produce water molecules inside the cell.

 

D. The cell is unable to maintain a stable internal environment.

<span>The answer is D. Due to high amounts of proteins in the cell, osmotically active proteins cause the internal environment of the cell to be hypertonic to the extracellular fluid. This causes excess water to enter the cell by osmosis and resulting in lysis.  </span>
