Chromosomal deletion is the loss of genetic code, caused by a segment of chromosome breaking away during DNA replication. The best answer is the third one, "when part of a chromosome breaks off and does not reattach."

The first answer, "part of a chromosome breaks off and is inserted into the middle of another", describes chromosomal insertion.

The second answer, "part of a chromosome breaks off and reattaches backward", describes chromosomal mutation.

The final answer, "part of a chromosome breaks off and attaches to another", describes chromosomal translocation.

If 84 J of work are exerted to pull a wagon, how much force does it take to pull the wagon 7.0 m? Round your answer to the neare
nirvana33 [79]
Work is said to be done when an object moves due to a force applied. Work is calculated by multiplying the force applied and the distance traveled due to the force. It is expressed as:

W = Force x distance

W = 84 J = F (7.0 m)
F = 12 N

Hope this answers the question.

Answer:

The average density of deer in 1923 was 1 deer per 8 acres

Explanation:

Given -

In 1923, the population of deer rose to 100,000

The density of any species is equal to total population divided by total area of the land in which this population is residing.

d= \frac{P}{A}

Where d represents the density

P represents the population and

A represents the area of land

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

d = \frac{100,000}{800,000} \\d= \frac{1}{8}

Thus, the average density of deer in 1923 was 1 deer per 8 acres

Anni [7]

Options for the question have not been give. They are as follows:

A. P site

B. A site

C. E site

D. directly to the cytosol

E. exit tunnel

Answer:

C. E site

Explanation:

Translation is the process by which mRNA is converted into polypeptide chain. Translation machinery has three binding slots for tRNA : A, P and E. Any incoming tRNA encounters A, P and E site in that order.

When a new tRNA (#1) carrying the next amino acid (here, lysine) comes, it enters the A site. Peptide bond is formed between lysine and the already existing amino acid on the growing polypeptide chain on the preceding tRNA (#2). Once lysine is added to the polypeptide chain, the entire chain moves to tRNA #1 which makes tRNA #2 empty. Meanwhile, the machinery moves forward. As a result, tRNA #1 slides to P site and tRNA #2 slides to E site. The A site is empty now and can receive another tRNA.
