The macula densa cells monitor the NaCl content of the filtrate entering the distal convoluted tubule.

Define juxtaglomerular apparatus.

The juxtaglomerular apparatus, often referred to as the juxtaglomerular complex, is a kidney structure that controls how each nephron, or functional unit of the kidney, performs.

What are macula densa cells ?

According to the traditional paradigm, the distal nephron's macula densa cells serve as salt sensors and send chemical signals to the juxtaglomerular apparatus to regulate key kidney activities like renal blood flow, glomerular filtration, and renin release.

How might a gene mutation be silent, with no observable effect on a cell or an organism? A. Codons are complementary to anticodo

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

D. Many amino acids are encoded by multiple codons. A gene mutation that encodes the same amino acid would have no observable effect on the cell or the organism

Explanation:

If gene mutation does not change code (gene still encodes for the same amino acid), the same protein with its function will be produced. This is called synonymous mutation.

Silent mutations might also occur when codon is altered to produce an amino acid with similar function as previous (e.g. leucine to isoleucine) so that the function of protein is not significantly changed.
