Mistakes can happen during DNA replication, and if they are not repaired it can result in a mutation. Certain mutations can lead

to diseases like cancer. What is a mutation and what are the DNA repair mechanisms cells have? Describe one of them.

Mutations result either from errors in DNA replication or from the damaging effects of mutagens, such as chemicals and radiation, which react with DNA and change the structures of individual nucleotides. All cells possess DNA-repair enzymes that attempt to minimize the number of mutations that occur

Describe the genetic code and its relationship to polypeptides and proteins
konstantin123 [22]

The genetic code is directly related to polypeptides and proteins in the sense that genes are decoded to synthesize proteins.

What is the genetic code?

Genetic code is the set of rules by which the sequence of bases in DNA are translated into the amino acid sequence of proteins.

The genetic code is unique for living organisms and is used to synthesize the proteins that is responsible for various activities in living organisms.

The genes in the genetic code are first transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins (polypeptides).

Motor and associative neurons are able to receive information from many different sources simultaneously because of their profus
miskamm [114]

Motor and associative neurons can receive information from many different sources simultaneously because of their profusion of highly branched dendrites.

<h3>What are Dendrites?</h3>
  • Dendrons, which are also known as dendrites, are branched protoplasmic extensions of a nerve cell that transmit the electrochemical stimulation that the cell body, or soma, of the neuron from which the dendrites project, receives from other neural cells.
  • Through synapses, which are distributed throughout the dendritic tree, upstream neurons (often via their axons) transmit electrical stimulation onto dendrites.
  • Dendrites are essential for integrating these synaptic inputs and controlling how much an action potential is generated by a neuron.
  • A multi-step biological process called dendritic arborization often referred to as dendritic branching, is how neurons grow new dendritic trees and branches to produce new synapses.

To learn more about Dendrites, refer to:
