The answer is insertion mutation.

Insertion mutation is a genetic mutation, which happens when one or more nucleotide base pairs are added into a DNA sequence. It is a type of mutation that would more or less cause the most dramatic change in the genetic makeup of an individual simply because by inserting an extra base pair you are disrupting the reading frame, thus affecting the primary structure of the polypeptide as it is being synthesized during translation.

The codons after the insert will all be different may or may not be coding for different amino acids.

How do ETS reactions produce ATP?
Norma-Jean [14]

ATP synthesization -  Simple and complex lipids or carbohydrates are used to produce ATP through redox reactions. After the hydrolysis of complex carbohydrates, glucose and fructose are formed and the triglycerides are metabolized to form glycerol and fatty acids. ATP is then synthesized by oxidative phosphorylation and photophosphorylation during the energy production with in the living organisms. ATP production usually takes place in the mitochondria of the cell.  The important pathways by which ATP is generated are glycolysis, the citric acid cycle (or the Kreb’s cycle), and the electron transport chain (or the oxidative phosphorylation pathway).  In these three cycles of  cellular respiration  adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is converted  to ATP and energy is released  from molecules.

Monica [59]
The correct answer is a muscle tissue, more precisely cardiac muscle tissue. <span>Cardiac muscle tissue consists of individual cardiomyocytes (heart muscle cells) which are connected by intercalated discs to work as a single functional organ. The function of intercalated discs is to support synchronized contraction of cardiac muscle.</span>

SSSSS [86.1K]

The correct answer is 97761 * 2, L6050, Z44.8, Z89.11.  

In the CPT index when one looks for Prosthetics/Training, then one is directed towards 97761. The code is repeated for every 15 minutes. As 30 minutes are spent in training, so 2 units are reported. In the HCPCS level II codebook when one looks for Disarticulation/Wrist prosthesis, one is directed towards codes L6050, L6055. On the basis of description, the prosthesis is reported with code L6050.  

In the alphabetic index of ICD-10-CM, when one looks for fitting/device NOS/prosthetic (external), then one is directed towards the code Z44.8. In the index when one looks for the absence of organ or part (complete or partial)/wrist and hand (acquired) then one is referred towards the code Z89.11.
