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.

Answer:

east to west

Explanation:

The stars and moon are the celestial bodies which are located at distant.

The distance of stars vary but moon and sun remain same. As our Earth rotates at its own axis, other celestial bdies seem to move.

As Earth spins from west to east, the stars and moon seems to move from east to west direction at night and same with Sun, it also seem to move from east to west.

C. Positive Feedback

This is because a response to a stimulus( low blood pressure) acts in the same direction as the stimulus ( even lower blood pressure).

This is opposed to negative feedback where the response would go in the operate direction of the stimulus ( I.e. blood pressure increasing in response to low blood pressure)

Roads are sometimes salted in the winter to prevent ice build up. When the ice and snow melt, the water can also carry salt off

valkas [14]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>When the salt water resulting from using salt to thaw ice and snow is washed off the road, the nearby plants along the roadside would be subjected to osmotic stress due to the lower water potential of the soil water when compared to that of their cells. Consequently, the plants are expected to lose water to the surrounding salt solution until an equilibrium is established between their cytosols and the soil solution. </em>
