1 answer:

8 0

The frameshift mutation in Tay-Sacs causes an early stop codon.
Frameshift mutation is an insertion or deletion mutation that was not multiple of three. The mutation will disrupt the translation process, makes it produce different kinds of proteins or make a signal to stop the process. The polypeptide produces will be less likely to be functional. The disease comes because hexosaminidase enzyme become not functional

The tube feet of echinoderms that are used for locomotion, capturing prey, and gas exchange are "inflated" by the ________, whic

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

water-vascular system

Explanation:

Echinoderms exhibit several unique features and the presence of a water vascular system is one of them. The water vascular system of these organisms consists of a network of fluid-filled canals and chambers. The marine water enters and exits the system through an opening. This system functions as a hydrostatic skeleton during locomotion.

Tube feet of these organisms are filled with fluid as water enters into them via the canals of the water vascular system lead to them. This inflates the tube feet and serve in locomotion. The water entering through the water vascular system also brings in dissolved oxygen and food particles into the body.

When pouring food coloring into warm water and cold water, we can see that the

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

true!!

Explanation:

the faster molecules move, the warmer the object is. think of how much energy you feel when you touch hot water and you whip your hand back, thats similar to how the molecules are movin, all that heat is energy built up in them and theyre moving around all crazy haha. Then think of putting ice in the freezer, all the molecules are kinda frozen in place, all squished together, because they dont have enough energy to move around. so, when the hot molecules with all that energy are moving around, the food coloring is able to get all over in the water. Kind of like if youre on a road trip the faster you drive the faster you'll get places. if you drive super slow, then it'll take forever to get there. so true, when food coloring is dropped into faster hotter molecules, it will spread faster. :)
