A mutation that involves one or a few nucleotides is called
a) mutagen
b) inversion
c) point mutation
d) translocation
Answer:
c) point mutation
Explanation:
When only one or a few nucleotides of a gene are changed by mutation, this is called a point mutation. A point mutation can add one additional nucleotide to the wild type gene or may delete or substitute a nucleotide from it. For example, if a wild type gene sequence is "ATATATATA", then the addition of "C" at the position 4 will change it into "ATACTATATA". This addition of new nucleotide is called point mutation since only one nucleotide is added to the gene. Point mutations can cause serious genetic disorders such as sickle cell anemia.
Answer:
answer is in the image below.
Explanation:
Rarefaction in terms of ecology can be defined as a technique used to assess species richness from the results of sampling.
It allows the calculation of richness of a particular species for a given number of individual samples, and these are based on the construction of rarefaction curves.
Hence, the correct answer is: option A-Creating a representative sample
The given question is incomplete question as it lack essential part of question which is :
Ex: Write a hypothesis about the worms and lima bean plants. Be sure to answer the lab question.
Answer:
The correct answer would be : If plants grow in soil with worms, then growth of the lima bean plant will be greater due to worms helps in decomposing organic matter.
Explanation:
In this hypothesis the one species benefits other species in the same ecosystem they both exist. According to the hypothesis presence of the worms helps in the growth of the lima bean plants.
Dependent variable is a variable that depends on change in independent variable. Here the change in the presence of worms affects the growth of the bean plants so, the dependent variable is bean plant and the independent variable is presence of the worms.
Thus, the correct answer is : If plants grow in soil containing worms, then plant growth will be greater, because worms help decompose organic matter
A change in the color of a substance -- this one is indeed a chemical change. Think of iron, if iron turns reddish, it's a completely different substance.
