Answer:

The correct answer is option B) "a deletion of two nucleotides".

Explanation:

A frameshift mutation is a type of genetic modification caused by the insertion or deletion of one or more nucleotides in a position that results in changing the sequence at which codons are translated in the ribosome. Frameshift mutations have the most serious effect on the polypeptide products since it results in changing completely the sequence of the protein. A deletion of two nucleotides after the AUG start of translation would result in a frameshift mutation, therefore this mutation would have the most serious effect on the polypeptide product.

#2: Which of these adaptations would be seen in a tropical rainforest plant 1 point
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Large drip leaves to absorb large amounts of sunlight and allow excess water to run

Explanation:

In a desert or savannah, the conditions are dry and hot, with lots of sunlight but very little water. In a tropical rainforest, it is very humid and wet, and dense with vegetation.

A plant in a rainforest might need to work harder to absorb light energy from the sun, due to the dense, tall trees blocking the sunlight. Therefore, they would likely develop leaves with a large surface area.

These plants would also have a plentiful water supply, so leaves with a shape that does not retain water would be helpful. There properties are present in the option describing large drip leaves.

A waxy coating to converse water, a protective spine to keep away herbivores who need the plant for water, and long roots to get access to water, are all adaptations of a desert plant.

(a) This is a case of iatrogenic cause of acute adrenal insufficiency and can present will signs and symptoms related to glucocorticoid insufficiency. Other clinical manifestations to be monitored are fatigue, weight loss, myalgia, fever, anemia, lymphocytosis, hypotension, and hyponatremia. 

(b) The first step in managing a case of acute adrenal insufficiency is immediate rehydration therapy with PNSS. The doctor gave a stat dose of IV hydrocortisone for replacing the lack of glucocorticoids to achieve physiologic levels of glucocorticoids in the body.
