Frieda is developing a computer model of mutations in human DNA. She plans for the model to incorporate one point mutation for e

very 10 million base pairs of DNA, which is a rate that is supported by her research. However, her advisor argues that mutations could occur 100 times more frequently under certain circumstances.

<u>Answer:</u>

It is true that mutations could occur 100 times more frequently as stated by the advisor but under certain circumstances.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The mutagens present in the environment can aid in the process of mutations that increases the frequency of mutation.
  • Mutagens may be anything that can make change in DNA like the radiations, ultra violet rays, x-rays etc.
  • Sometimes, the habit of person like smoking; tobacco usage and pesticides may also cause the mutation in any individual.

pishuonlain [190]

The population of cactus dwelling birds will decrease and that of the animal they eat will increase.

Explanation:

When cacti is removed from the desert ecosystem, the birds that have their nest on the cacti will no longer have a home so they will migrate to other areas with favorable ecosystem.This will reduce the number of birds in this ecosystem.In turn, the animals that were feed by the birds will have the chance to multiply in numbers because a predator has been removed in the ecosystem.

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

III. Condensation of chromosomes begins.

I. Synapsis occurs.

II. Crossing-over is completed.

IV. Separation of homologous chromosomes begins

Explanation:

The prophase I of meiosis I begins with the condensation of chromosomes. The process of compaction makes the individual chromosomes visible and the stage is called leptotene.

Leptotene is followed by zygotene of prophase I during which the homologous chromosomes are paired together. The process is mediated by the synaptonemal complex. As the homologous chromosomes are paired, each pair is visible as a tetrad as each of the chromosomes of a pair has two sister chromatids.

The exchange of part of chromatids occurs during crossing over. Crossing over is the event of the pachytene stage of prophase I. After crossing over, the homologous chromosomes begin to separate from each other during diplotene but stay paired at the points of crossing over. These points are called chiasmata. Diakinesis of prophase I is marked by the dissolution of chiasmata.

Which three statements are supported by the data in the food label?
Leto [7]

The contents that a data in the food label is supported are by having nutritional facts, example having the percent of carbohydrates consumed in the food. Another thing, they often gave advice in milligrams when having to label the nutritional fact such as having 1,300mg of calcium.

denpristay [2]
<h3>Question from alternative source</h3>

Many different types of mutations can occur within the body. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that is caused by different mutations within the CFTR gene. One mutation in the CFTR gene that leads to cystic fibrosis causes translation to end earlier in the gene sequence. Which type of mutation causes this translation error that leads to cystic fibrosis?

  • silent
  • missense
  • nonsense
  • deletion

Answer:

Nonsense

Explanation:

Nonsense mutations describe mutations that produce a premature stop codon. The stop codons are UAG, UAA, and UGA. A way in which this could arise is, for example, if there was a substution of a nucleotide in the mRNA codon UAC (which codes for the amino acid Tyrosine) to the nucleotide UAG (which codes for a stop codon).

The translation machinery would reach this codon, which signals that translation should be terminated. This would mean that the mRNA would be released, and a truncated (shortened) version of the amino acid would be produced. This is likely to be non-functional, and may even be marked for destruction by the cell.
