Biology

Hoochie [10]2 years ago
4 0
When there is a mutation in a gene that produces an enzyme, it can cause disease. Phenylketonuria<span> or PKU is a rare inherited disorder that causes the build up of phenylalanine. This can lead to brain damage in individuals with this disorder if they don't eat a very protein-- restricted diet. The gene mutation doesn't allow the creation of the </span>enzyme<span>needed to break down Phenylalanine, an amino acid in proteins.   

hope this helps

dangina [55]
The reason why humming birds need long beaks is to be able to get the nectar from the flowers, kind of like how we need straws to drink out of to go cups. Humming birds also have very long tongues that also help this process. Since humming birds beaks help them get the food they need, it makes them more successful in their environment.

Recall what you know about nervous tissue to answer the following questions. Nervous tissue can generate and conduct ____ signal
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Nervous tissue can generate and conduct <u>electrical</u> signals that control the body.

Explanation:

The neuron is the specialized cell that provides function to nerve tissue. Given the structure of the neuron, this cell is capable of creating and conducting information in the form of electrical impulses or signals, by depolarizing its cell membrane and generating action potentials.

The information generated and transmitted by the neurons allows the nervous system to obtain internal and external information of the organism, as well as to control all the body functions.

<em>     The other options are not true because nerve tissue does not generate or conduct </em><em>thermal </em><em>or</em><em> chemical </em><em>signals to perform its function.</em>
