You will create a molecular clock model for an arthropod gene. Follow these guidelines to make your model:
Your timeline will span from 90 million years ago to the present. The common ancestor in your model is an arthropod that lived 90 million years ago. The gene that you’ll track codes for a protein in the species’ venom.
The DNA sequence you’ll track contains 10 nitrogen bases. You can choose the order of the bases and where the mutations occur.
This gene mutates at a rate of approximately 0.76 base pairs every 17.1 million years. To build your model, calculate the estimated time period it takes for 1 base pair to mutate.
The first time period will only show the common ancestor. At the beginning of the second time period, three lineages will diverge from the common ancestor, each with a different mutation in their gene sequences.
The first and third descendant species will survive for the rest of the timeline. The second descendant species was extinct 50 million years ago.
Calculate how long it will take for one full base pair mutation to occur. Explain your reasoning by constructing a mathematical equation.
Answer:
The mutations occur at a rate of 0.56 base changes every 1 billion years. If this rate stays consistent, the mutation rate can be used to determine when different lineages of a particular species split
Answer:
It takes about 17.1 Million years for a base pair to mutate at a rate of 0.76 base pairs. To get the time it takes for one full mutation to occur, you must divide 17.1 to 0.76 and multiply it by 1. So, (17.1/0.76)×1=22.5. It would take about 22.5 million years for one full base pair mutation to occur. Having this being said, the first descendant with one base pair mutation would change after 22.5 million years from the common ancestor. For the second descendant, it would take 45 million years as 22.5 time 2 is 45. 5 million years later, the second descendant will become extinct while the first descendant survives. The third descendant will take about 22.5×3= 67.5 million years. Now, the first and third descendants will survive while the second descendant is extinct.

22. An astronaut on the space station tests whether gravity affects the productivity of tomato plants. What
is the independent variable in this experiment?
When conducting an experiment, the independent variable is always the one that produces or causes an effect or reaction on the dependent variable. In the exposed situation, the independent variable is gravity.
--------------------------------------
During an experiment, you need to consider all the variables involved.
Independent (manipulated) variable: Refers to all the variables in an experiment that provoke a response in another variable. An independent variable is the one that changes or is controlled and modified to analyze how another variable responds to it. The researcher changes the independent variable to observe its effects on the dependent variable. Usually, the independent variable is represented by the X letter. In the exposed example, gravity is the independent variable, and influences the productivity of tomato plants. Dependent variable: Refers to the variable, which response depends on any change in the independent variable. It represents a quantity of something which value depends on how the independent variable is modified. The change in the dependent variable might be proportional or inversely proportional to the change in the manipulated variable. It is usually identified by the letter Y. Controlled variables are kept constant in the control groups and the experimental groups. Unlike the independent variable, the controlled variables do not influence the results. These variables do not affect the response of the dependent variable.------------------------

what are chromosomes
A. strands I'd DNA wrapped around proteins.
B. The alleles that cause certain traits.
C. Any organism that cause contains DNA
D. A form of virus that infects cells.
Answer:
A. strands I'd DNA wrapped around proteins.
Explanation:
DNA is securely packed within the nucleus by chromosomes, which are thread-like structures. Histone proteins offer structural support for DNA by coiling it around them. During cell division, chromosomes assist in the replication and distribution of DNA. Each chromosome has a centromere, which separates the p (short) and q (long) arms. The centromere is found at the constriction point of the chromosome, which may or may not be the center.

Answer:
a) mRNA before mutation ⇒ CAG
b) mRNA after mutation ⇒ CAC
c) amino acid before mutation ⇒ Glu, Glutamine
d) amino acid after mutation ⇒ His, Histidine
e) missense mutation
Explanation:
Theoretical frame
Transcription:Transcription occurs in the nucleus where the template DNI strand is read in direction 3´→ 5´ to build the mRNA molecule in direction 5´→ 3´.
When the DNI molecule separates into two strands to form the transcription bubble, we can identify two separate segments: coding strand and template strand.
The coding strand goes in direction 5´ to 3´, while the complementary strand -template strand- grows in direction 3´ to 5´.
The template strand is the mRNA complement.
The coding strand is the same as the mRNA that results from the transcription of the same DNI segment -switching bases T for U-.
The coding strand receives that name because it is the sequence that codes for each amino acid composing the proteins.
Translation:Translation occurs in the cytoplasm. rRNA and tRNA read mRNA in the direction 5´→ 3´ to build the protein.
Genetic information for the aminoacids assembly during the protein synthesis is stored in short sequences of three nucleotides named codons in the mRNA. Each of the codons represents one of the 20 amino acids used to build the protein. There are 64 codons in total, from which 61 codify for amino acids. Because there are 20 amino acids, many codons code for the same amino acid. One of these amino acids is also the start point of protein synthesis. And the left three codons are stopping translation points.
The codons indicating the initiation or stop points during the translation process are:
• The start codon AUG is the most common sequence used by eukaryotic cells
• The end codons are UAA, UAG, UGA.
When a change occurs in a single base pair, it is known as a point mutation. Points mutations might be either silent, missense, or nonsense. In silent mutations, the resulting mRNA codon codes for the same amino acid as the unmutated sequence. However, if the mutation causes the mRNA codon to code for a different amino acid, this mutation is a missense mutation. Finally, if the mutation causes mRNA codon to be a stop codon, we are referring to a nonsense mutation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the exposed example,
Before mutation
Original DNI base sequence ⇒ GTC ⇒ Guanine, Timine, CytokineTranscripted mRNA sequence ⇒ CAG ⇒ Cytokine, Adenine, GuanineAmino acid ⇒ Gln ⇒ GlutamineAfter mutation
Mutated DNI base sequence ⇒ GTG ⇒ Guanine, Timine, GuanineTranscripted mRNA sequence ⇒ CAC ⇒ Cytokine, Adenine, CytokineAmino acid ⇒ His ⇒ HistidineThis is a point mutation, in which the change occurs in a single base pair. The mutation made the mRNA codon code for a different amino acid, meaning that this is a missense mutation.
Before mutation, the mRNA codon is CAG and codes for Glutamine.After mutation, the mRNA codon is CAC and codes for Histidine.Define hypothesis

If a cell has 10 chromosomes when it begins mitosis, how many will it have immediately afterword?
Answer:
Explanation:
Therefore, there will be two daughter cells at the end of mitosis. Each will have 10 chromosomes, if the parent cell has 10. The chromsomes will not have sister chromatids because after mitosis, the duplicated pairs have separated into the two daughter cells. The cells will each be diploid, just as the parent cell was.
Explanation:
If a cell has 10 chromosomes when it begins mitosis, there are 15 will have immediately afterword.

describe the role of enzymes in seeds germination
Answer:
Enzymes such as amylase ,protease and lipase are liable for solubilizing spare food materials in form of starch, protein and lipids correspondingly
in seed and deliver energy and other fundamentals food materials to germinating embryo.
The seed proteins are catalyzed by protease enzyme and break it into amino acid and peptides that a e transferred to growing embryo.
The amino acids obtained from metabolism of the proteins are further used in biosynthesis of enzymes,hormones,proteins, pyrimidines and Purine bases.
The starch is catalyzed by enzyme amylase that provides the food materials for growth and development of embryo . Similarly lipase are enzymes that are responsible for metabolism of the triacylglycerols into glycerols and fatty acids.This is also the source of energy for growing embryo
oil-rich countries in the middle east cover about 4% of earth's total land area but posses about 48% of the world's known oil reserves. what is the main reason for high concentration of reserves in this part of the world?
The correct answer is A. Geological processes.
Explanation
Oil is a hydrocarbon of fossil origin by geological processes that transforms large amounts of organic matter deposited on anoxic bottoms of seas or lake areas of the geological past, which were later covered by heavy layers of sediment. This causes organic materials to be transformed into oil by the heat and pressure of the upper layers. However, this phenomenon does not occur in all parts of the earth because in some, as in the case of the Middle East, there were large amounts of organic matter that became an oil reserve. So the correct answer is A.
Genetic variation is more commonly found in sexually reproducing organisms, as compared to asexually reproducing organisms, because
1 point
in asexual reproduction gametes fuse to lead to new genetic combinations
in sexual reproduction the gametes formed are all genetically identical
in asexual reproduction the gametes formed are genetically different
in sexual reproduction gametes fuse to lead to new genetic combinations
Answer:
In sexual reproduction gametes fuse to lead to new genetic combinations
Explanation:
In sexually reproducing organisms, there are two parents who create genetically diverse offspring.
This occurs because the gametes of the two parents combine to create very unique genetic combinations, which lead to increased genetic variation.
On the other hand, asexually reproducing organisms reproduce without a partner.
Their offspring are identical clones to the parent, so they have much less genetic variation.
So, the correct answer is that In sexual reproduction gametes fuse to lead to new genetic combinations.
