The strand of dna used in the previous problem undergoes a mutation, such that the second c from the 3' end is changed to a

This mutation type is a substitution mutation. Substitution mutations may be silent or may have adverse effects (missense mutation).
Adverse effects come about because the change in codons in mRNA transcribed from the DNA strand. A point substitution can change the amino acid being coded for in the particular polypeptide change. If that animo acid is a structural residue of the protein, the structure of the protein will be altered, which may or may not lead to a change in protein function. If that particular amino acid is a catalytic residue of the protein, it may alter the 3D conformation and charge of the active site (if protein is an enzyme) or the binding site of protein. Function of protein formed from mutated DNA will be lost or altered.

Hope this helps! :)

Visual acuity in animals primarily depends on the _______.

patriot [66]

The given blank can be filled with Cones.

The visual acuity can be defined as the clarity of the vision, it is related to the sharpness and the clearness of the image formed. The vision acuity is determined by the optical and the neural factors, it is dependent on the retinal focus and the sensitivity of the nerve cells and the brain.

The cones are the pointed, thick and short sensory receptors, present in the eye. They are responsible for the color vision and the sharpness or the acuity of the image. They work better in brighter light.

NNADVOKAT [17]

<span>A method of deducing the correct species assignment of a living thing is known as dichotomous key, which is also called identification key. It works by requiring a user to choose two alternatives at each step and the choice of one alternatives give the name of the organism or direct further down in the key. However, a common error in using dichotomous key is the assumption that the correct name or identification of the organism is even included in the set of key. Therefore, this method alone is not reliable to identify specific species.</span>

The host range of a virus is determined by A. whether the glycoproteins or capsid proteins on its surface recognize those of the

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

A. whether the glycoproteins or capsid proteins on its surface recognize those of the host cells.

Explanation:

Virus has different surface proteins that are recognized by the receptors present on its host cell. The range of a virus is determined by the recognition of these proteins by the host cell.

The interaction between the receptor on the host cell and surface proteins on the viral capsid is important for viral genome entry in the host cell and to determine the range of the host cells.

If the surface protein of the virus is not able to bind to the receptor on any cell then the virus can not infect the cell. For example, the HIV virus infects only those cell which have CD4 receptors. So the right answer is A.
