Which substitution mutation has the potential to cause more damage?

Biology
1 answer:
VikaD [51]3 years ago
5 0
<span>A substitution is a type of mutation in which there is an exchange between two bases (for example, switching A for G). Changing a base can lead to a different codon, and consequently, a change in the protein produced.
Sometimes, the mutation can be silent, meaning that the substitution didn't change the codon or the protein.
However sometimes they may change to a  "stop" codon and  because of that the protein ends incomplete. If it affects an important protein it can completely change the organism.</span>

The process of homeostasis is very important in the maintenance of important indicators of balance in the body such as body temperature, body pH, etc.

Hence, when blood pH becomes overly acidic, respiration and kidney function change to bring the acidity back to its normal pH level of 7.4. This is a homeostatic response.
