Answer:

duplication  

Explanation:

  • Inversion

If we talk about inversion, it inversion, it is a process in which a specific base sequence is inverted or rearranged in such a way that direction is reversed. For example: ABC is changed into BCA, therefore it is not right option.

  • Translocation

If we talk about translocation,it is  caused by rearrangement of parts between non homologous chromosomes. It can be balanced or unbalanced but it involves two genes or two sets of chromosomes. But in our example, we have only one sequence of DNA under study, therefore, inversion is not possible.

  • Insertion

Talking about insertion, it involves addition of one or more nucleotide at certain position of gene sequence. There are chances that it can be an insertion of GGG but the insertion of three G instead of any random nucleotide addition or nucleotide sequence addition is rare. So, there are less chances that this is an insertion and more chances that this is an exact duplication event.

  • Duplication:

If we talk about duplication, a certain portion of a gene or chromosome is  replicated or duplicated in such a way that it results in more than one copies of that region.

Keeping that definition infront, we see that GGG duplicated to GGGGGG.  So, if we logically look at the question, duplication seems to be the most appropriate option.

Hope it help!

a ball pushed with a force of 13.5 n accelerates at 6.5 m/s2 to the right. what is the mass of the ball?
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

the equation you use here is m=fa or mass=force x acceleration

you plug in the 13.5 N as the force, 6.5 m/s^2 as the acceleration, and do the math.

13.5 x 6.5

That would equal 87.75 which would be your answer.

Christopher has at most \$18.50$18.50dollar sign, 18, point, 50 to spend at a convenience store. He buys one bag of bananas for
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Amount to spend = $18.50

Purchased banana =$1.50

Apple Juice =$1.55

Gasoline $2.35

$1.50 + $1.55 = $3.05

18.50 - 3.05 = 15.45

1 Gallon of Gasoline = 2.35

Therefore,

2.35 x 6 = 14.1

15.35 - 14.1 = 1.25

To avoid exceeding budget, he can only buy

6 gallons of gasoline
