Yes, swollen lymph nodes are more common than some might think.
Explanation:
The medical terms for swollen lymph nodes are adenopathy or lymphadenopathy.
Lymph nodes play a vital role in fighting off sickness in the body. They act as a filter, trapping bacteria and viruses before they can spread too far.
Lymph nodes <em>typically</em> swell up as a response to bacteria or viruses. Though cancer can be a factor in swelling, it is very rare. Most commonly they are felt right below the corner of the jaw, in the neck. Yet, they are not only in the neck; they are all throughout the body. When they are swollen, they might feel tender or even painful.
A mutation that involves one or a few nucleotides is called
a) mutagen
b) inversion
c) point mutation
d) translocation
Answer:
c) point mutation
Explanation:
When only one or a few nucleotides of a gene are changed by mutation, this is called a point mutation. A point mutation can add one additional nucleotide to the wild type gene or may delete or substitute a nucleotide from it. For example, if a wild type gene sequence is "ATATATATA", then the addition of "C" at the position 4 will change it into "ATACTATATA". This addition of new nucleotide is called point mutation since only one nucleotide is added to the gene. Point mutations can cause serious genetic disorders such as sickle cell anemia.
