Answer 1

Here are the responses to your questions based on general knowledge about genetics and mutations:

1. A mutation is a change of genetic material.

   • True

2. Which type(s) of organism(s) can experience a mutation?

   • Animals
   • Archaea
   • Bacteria
   • Fungi
   • Plants
   • Protists (All of these organisms can experience mutations.)

3. The mRNA codon CUU could mutate to ___ and still code for leucine, which would not change the amino acid.

   • CUU is one of the codons for leucine. A possible mutation could be any of the synonymous codons (such as CUC, CUA, or CUG) that also code for leucine.

4. Which of these is not a type of mutation?

   • RNA interference

5. Which type of chromosomal mutation is shown?

   • [This would depend on the specific type of mutation shown in the image or description provided, but common types include deletion, duplication, inversion, and translocation.]

6. Which type of chromosomal mutation is shown?

   • [As above, please refer to the specific details provided in your test.]

7. Which type of chromosomal mutation is shown?

   • [Refer to the details of the illustration or description provided.]

8. Which type of chromosomal mutation is shown?

   • [Refer to the details of the illustration or description provided.]

9. Sickle cell anemia is caused by a

   • mutation.

10. Chromosomal mutations result from changes in a single gene.

    • False

11. Mutations that occur at a single point in the DNA sequence are

    • point mutations.

12. A mutation involving the insertion or deletion of a nucleotide is a

    • frameshift mutation.

13. What type of chromosomal mutation is shown?

    • [Refer to the specific details provided.]

14. Dr. F. Agnes Stroud-Lee determines the origins of birth defects by studying chromosome abnormalities. Dr. Stroud-Lee’s research could involve all of these topics EXCEPT —

    • plants that show variable rates of photosynthesis

15. Choose the correct sequence of mRNA.

    • AUG UGG AAC (This depends on the original DNA sequence. Check against what was presented.)

16. Choose the correct sequence of the amino acids.

    • Met Try Asp (This also depends on the original mRNA codons.)

17. This sequence of DNA was mutated from the original strand. What would the sequence of amino acid be for this mutation?

    • Met Leu Arg (This depends on the specific details of the mutation and the original sequence.)

18. What type of mutation is sequence #1?

    • [Refer to the specific details provided; possible answers could include substitution, insertion, deletion, etc.]

19. This sequence of DNA was mutated from the original strand. What would the sequence of amino acid be for this mutation?

    • Met Leu Arg (Refer to the specifics of the mutation for confirmation.)

20. What type of mutation is sequence #2?

    • [Refer to the specific details provided; common types include substitution, insertion, deletion.]

For questions 5-10 and 13-20, without the specific visual context or additional details, I am unable to provide more definitive answers.
