When a mutation renders a gene or protein unable to function properly, this is called a ???

Answers

Answer 1

When a mutation renders a gene or protein unable to function properly, this is called a gene variant.

What is Mutation?

A mutation is defined as sudden, stable, and inheritable changes in the genetic sequences of organisms.

Mutations in the genetic sequences furnish a gene or protein to function abnormally, due to this several genetic disorders arise in the offspring. It prevents one or more proteins from working properly.

Therefore, when a mutation renders a gene or protein unable to function properly, this is called a gene variant.

i)Which one of the following substances have sour test.a) acid b)base c) salt d) all of these​

Answers

Answer:

a) acid

Explanation:

Acid is a chemical substance that is capable of donating protons (H+) when in an aqueous solution. This property makes a substance an acid, although the ability to donate completely or partially distinguishes a strong and weak acid.

One of the characteristics of acids is their SOUR TASTE. This characteristic sour taste is attributed to the hydrogen concentrations present in acidic foods or substances e.g unripe fruits.

?Which form of energy is NOT correctly associated with the related example
kinetic energy: fat molecules O
potential energy: water held behind a dam o
kinetic energy: movement of muscles
chemical energy: glucose o

Answers

Answer:

kinetic energy: fat molecules

Explanation:

Fats store energy so it would be potential.

Kinetic energy: fat molecules

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object or particle uses during its motion. Potential energy is the stored form of energy already present in the object or particle. Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical substances. Water held behind the dam will have potential energy the water currents store energy within them which can be used to move the turbine in the water dam to produce electrical energy. Movement of muscles during walking, running, or performing any other activity which can be seen in the form of displacement from one region to another is due to kinetic energy. Glucose is a chemical molecule whose bonds when broken releases energy in the form of ATP or adenosine triphosphate which is a chemical energy. Fat molecules store energy in the adipocytes in the form of potential energy not kinetic energy. Hence, option kinetic energy: fat molecule is incorrect.

in the levels of organization of plants, what are the two tissues and their functions?

Answers

Not exactly sure what you are asking. However, there are two central tissues in plant cells: phloem and xylem. Phloem moves nutrients, air, and essential nutrients DOWN throughout the cells. Xylem transports water UP throughout the cell. Together, they allow photosynthesis to occur. Remember, water is separated during photosynthesis to allow the ETC (electron transport chain) to continue to flow. If the ETC flows, the organism can go. The oxygen is then released as a by-product. Sugar and nutrients such as nitrogen, then allow for the Light-Dependent Reaction to occur in the stroma. Hope this helps!

Answers

Answer:

1. law of Independent Assortment; metaphase I; independent of.

2. law of Segregation; meiosis I; in separate gametes.

Explanation:

Between 1856 and 1863, Gregor Mendel developed a series of mating experiments using pea plants, which enabled the discovery of some basic principles of inheritance. These principles/laws are stated as:

1) Law of segregation: this principle states that the inheritance pattern of phenotypic traits is characterized by the presence of a gene pair and each gamete carries only one allele for each gene pair so offspring inherit one gene variant (allele) from each parent  

2) Law of independent assortment: this principle states that the genes responsible for the inheritance pattern of different traits are independently sorted from one another and thereby different traits are independent one from another.

3) Law of dominance: this principle states that the dominant allele will always be expressed in heterozygous individuals (this law is only applicable in cases of complete dominance).

C.
6.0 × 10-9 m
D.
0.6 × 10-11 m

Answers

Answer:

A. 1.5 × 10-10 m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Frequency = 2.0 × 10^18 Hertz.

Speed of light = 3.0 × 10^8 m/s

To find the wavelength;

Wavelength = speed/frequency

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Wavelength = 3.0 × 10^8/2.0 × 10^18

Wavelength = 1.5 × 10-10 meters.

Ogallala Aquifer is the rock holding the groundwater in the Great Plains of America. The Ogallala Aquifer is running out of water.  Thus, option C is correct.

What is Ogallala Aquifer?

Ogallala Aquifer is an underground layer of water that is held by the rocks, pebbles, and gravel that make the water well above the surface. It is not beneath the East Coast but is situated on the Great Plains of the United States.

It has been reported that the water usage of the Ogallala Aquifer is not regulated and hence it does not have enough water to last up to 6,000 years. At approx 70%, the water of the aquifer will be soon gone resulting in the deprivation of the water.

Therefore, option C. the Ogallala Aquifer is running out of water is correct.

Unequal reproductive success - Accumulation of favorable traits over time. Unequal reproductive success. heritable traits best suited to the local environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. Accumulation of favorable traits over time.

Unequal reproductive success, also known as differential reproductive success, is a fundamental concept in the theory of evolution proposed by Charles Darwin.

It refers to the variation in the number of offspring produced by individuals within a population based on their inherited traits and adaptations.

Individuals possessing advantageous traits that better suit their environment are more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass on these favorable traits to their offspring.

On the other hand, individuals with less favorable traits may have lower reproductive success.

Over successive generations, the frequency of advantageous traits increases in the population, leading to the process of natural selection and the gradual evolution of species to better adapt to their changing environments.
