Figure 1 represents a segment of DNA. Radiation can damage the nucleotides in a DNA molecule. To repair some types of damage, a

single nucleotide can be removed from a DNA molecule
and replaced with an undamaged nucleotide. Which of the four labeled bonds in Figure 1 could be broken to remove and replace the cytosine nucleotide without affecting the biological
information coded in the DNA molecule?

Answer:

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, what is described in this question is a method of DNA damage repair mechanism. The method described is called base excision repair. Generally, glycosylases play important roles in base excision repair (as they detect and remove these damaged bases).

One thing that can be considered while identifying the bond to be broken is the codon that will be formed after the removal of base. If this codon (a three base sequence) will still produce the same protein as when a normal cytosine was present.

NOTE: During this base excision repair, a glycosylase will detect and remove the damaged cytosine. Once removed, the remaining nucleotide backbone (of the removed cytosine) is also removed and the gap is filled and sealed by other enzymes in this repair mechanism.

How does the concentration of salt in water affect the rate of osmosis?
Nata [24]
The concentration of salt in water affects the rate of osmosis because it will determine how much water should be transported or excreted or to be taken in. The cellular process is keen to the salt concentration of its system thus making sure to maintain balance between the salt concentration the right amount of water must also be in its area of release for any expected occurences.
Osmosis then is the movement of water particles from which has water and from which has not and to provide it with the sufficient H2O.

Given that the mean cuteness of the current herd is 39.7 OMGs, the BAF workers picked the 16 cutest adults and allow them to rep
hammer [34]

Answer: 41.5 OMGs is the predicted mean cuteness in the next generation.

Explanation:

Cuteness is a way to measure relative ability of individuals with a certain genotype to reproduce successfully.

Mean cuteness is given as the summation of individual cuteness. Mean cuteness also changes in the next generation.

The mean cuteness of the current herd was given as 39.7 OMGs and after 16 individuals were chosen, the mean was given as 41.5.

This implies that there was a change already as mean cuteness will either increase or decrease in the next generation after selection. Here, 39.7 increased to 41.5 .

The predicted mean cuteness is therefore 41.5 OMGs.
