Apoint mutation changes the dna sequence cgatocgt, but the same protein is produced. what point mutation occured?

A point mutation showing a change in the DNA sequence but producing the same protein is called the silent mutation.

Mutation is any change in the genetic composition of the organism caused by mutagens. A point mutation is a type of mutation involving the change in a single nucleotide base either by insertion or deletion in a DNA. At the level of protein synthesis, it can be classified into silent mutation, missense mutation and nonsense mutation.

Silent mutations are considered as the neutral mutations as they result in a new codon (a triplet nucleotide sequence on RNA) which codes for the same amino acid and thus not altering the protein. Because of this, they do not exhibit any change in the phenotype of the organism. Missense mutations involve base substitutions which code for a different amino acid and nonsense mutations have substitutions which terminate protein synthesis prematurely thus affecting the protein being synthesized.

Thus, silent mutation is a type of point mutation producing the same amino acid.

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
