8 0

Answer:

Mutation is the source for new genetic variation: Genetic variation is brought about by random mutation. Without mutation, genetic variation cannot occur. Mutation is a change in the genetic code in DNA and can lead to a change in the protein that is coded for that segment of DNA.

Explanation:

Mutations are changes to an organism's DNA and are an important driver of diversity in populations. Species evolve because of the accumulation of mutations that occur over time. ... This mutation has introduce a new allele into the population that increases genetic variation and may be passed on to the next generation.

Which process will be immediately inhibited if cytochrome c is unable to interact with cytochrome c oxidase
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Electron transfer to from cytochrome c to molecular Oxygen in the process of oxidative phosphorylation

Explanation:

Cytochrome c is a protein which is involved in the electron transport chain for the production of ATP molecules during then process of respiration. It a soluble protein found in the intermembrane space of the mitochondria. It receives electrons from ubiquinone at Complex III of the electron transport chain and transfers this electron to molecular oxygen through its interaction with complex IV or cytochrome c oxidase, reducing molecular oxygen to water.

If the interaction of cytochrome c with cytochrome c oxidase is inhibited, the process of elctron transfer to oxygen will be inhibited and, so ATP synthesis will cease.

Ultimately,  respiration will be inhibited resulting in death of the organism. For example, cyanide inhibits cytochrome c oxidase resulting in death of the organism poisoned with cyanide.

yawa3891 [41]
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that is caused by deficient activity of the islets of Langerhans. The islets of Langerhans is a part of the pancreas that secrets the hormone insulin, a hormone that functions to allow the utilization of glucose by the body, and therefore maintaining the glucose levels from getting too high. Diabetes mellitus is as a result of the inactivity of the insulin hormone and therefore there will be a high level of glucose in the blood.
