<span> The answer is a misense mutation. In this case, the substitution of the tryosine  amino acid with cysteine in the same position in the sequence does not affect the polypeptide becasue both tryosine and cysteine are polar animo acids. If the substitution </span><span><span> in the polypeptide chain </span>was by amino acids with different properties, it would affect the folding of the protein and change its conformation hence also affect its function. </span>

Answer;
Missense mutation
The description above is an example of a Missense mutation.

Explanation;
When a missense mutation occurs in a DNA molecule, it alters one of the RNA codon sequences made during the process of transcription. This different codon will eventually cause a different amino acid to be inserted into a protein during the process translation;
For example in the above the change in codon resulted to the change in amino acid tyrosine to a different amino acid cystine

Three physical forces are involved in glomerular filtration: glomerular capillary blood pressure, plasma-colloid osmotic pressur
Elodia [21]

Answer: a. True

Explanation:

Glomerular filtrate is formed by the difference in force of hydrostatic and osmotic pressure. This physical force involves:

Bowman's capsule hydrostatic pressure: This includes the pressure that develops in the Bowman's capsule against the fluid to be filtrated expelled out by the glomerulus.

Glomerular hydrostatic pressure: The glomerulus is the main site of production of filtrate. It is higher than the average blood capillary hydrostatic pressure. It allows the water and solute molecules to be filtrated out of the plasma membrane.

Colloid osmotic pressure: The osmotic pressure which is generated by the large molecules is the colloid osmotic pressure. It is created by the plasma proteins. This pressure draws water from the glomerulus.

Why don't we use more renewable energy sources?
Marizza181 [45]

<em>Because sometimes building these facilities is expensive and they usually have to be built in remote areas and burning fossil fuels has also been cheaper than using renewable energy in the past. Another issue is that the form of energy isn't available all the time.</em>
