Answer:

Option). duplication.

Explanation:

Mutations are permanent changes in DNA, due to change in its nucleotide sequence. A mutation that occurs due to replication or duplication of a portion of genetic material is known as duplication.  

As altered sequence in given bacterium represents duplication of three guanine nucleotides, the type of mutation that caused this sequence change is duplication.

Original sequence: act<u>ggg</u>atcct

Altered sequence:  atcggggggatcct

Thus, the correct answer is 'duplication.'

Deposition takes place when the transporting agent loses energy and is no longer capable of carrying its load. For the deposited sediments to form a sedimentary rock, they (most likely) need to be deposited in a sedimentary basin.

kirza4 [7]
<span>This change in scientific consensus happened because scientists liked the idea that T. rex held its tail aloft better.
- no, this is not a scientific behaviour!

no one supported the idea that T. rex dragged its tail on the ground.
- this is not true, someone must have supported it if people believed it

the idea that T. rex held its tail aloft is an emerging idea that replaced the old idea.
- yes, but how did the new idea come about?

the idea that T. rex held its tail aloft was supported by the studies of many scientists.

Which of the following characterizes the Domain Bacteria?
crimeas [40]

Answer:

C)

Explanation:

Bacteria are prokaryotic, which means they (generally) don't have organelles or a nuclear envelope around their nucleus.  They have ester linkages in the phospholipids in their cell membranes, while archea, which are also prokaryotic, have ether linkages.  Ether linkages are more chemically stable than ester linkages, and since archea live in extreme environments this is helpful.  

Bacteria are not multicellular and do not have organelles (complex cellular structures) besides ribosomes.
