Class IV and Class V mutations would be less likely to lead to Cystic Fibrosis (CF).

Class IV mutation or Conduction mutation involves reduced chloride conductance. It changes the shape of the protein channel so that chloride cannot move easily in and out of the cells. Less than 3% of people with cystic fibrosis in Europe have this type of mutation.

Class V or Insufficient Protein mutation is associated with reduced protein levels. It results in a reduction in the amount of CFTR protein produced by the cells. Less than 3% of people with cystic fibrosis in Europe have this type of mutation.

These two classes of mutations cause a milder reduction in CFTR function.

TEA [102]

Answer:

A scientist discovers a new organism in run-off from the Rio Tinto River in Spain (the river runs through a copper mine and the water has a pH of 2.0). On basic microscopic examination and after conducting a few simple experiments, she finds that this single-celled species is heterotrophic, has no cell wall, uses a flagellum for motion, and contains a variety of internal structures that are bound by plasma membranes. Given this information, this new species is most likely a <u>eukaryotic</u> cell in the <u>protozoan</u> subcategory

Explanation:

Eukaryotic cells contain nucleus and organelles and are enclosed by a plasma membrane. Organism that have these cells are protozoa, fungy, plants and animals.

Protozoan are single-celled eukaryotic.

Irregular periods.
Hot flashes and sleep problems. Hot flashes are common during perimenopause. The intensity, length and frequency vary. Sleep problems are often due to hot flashes or night sweats, but sometimes sleep becomes unpredictable even without them
.Mood changes. Mood swings, irritability or increased risk of depression may happen during perimenopause. The cause of these symptoms may be sleep disruption associated with hot flashes. Mood changes may also be caused by factors not related to the hormonal changes of perimenopause.
Vaginal and bladder problems. When estrogen levels diminish, vaginal tissues may lose lubrication and elasticity, making intercourse painful. Low estrogen may also make vagina vulnerable to urinary or vaginal infections. Loss of tissue tone may contribute to urinary incontinence.
Decreasing fertility. As ovulation becomes irregular, the ability to conceive decreases.
Changes in sexual function. During perimenopause, sexual arousal and desire may change.
Loss of bone.
