What would be the effects of chronic infection or inflammation of the kidneys?

1 answer:

5 0

The kidneys function to get rid of urea and other waste products from the bloodstream. If they are infected or inflammed they would be unable to function. This means your blood may end up poisoned with urea. The poisoned blood will flow around the body poisoning other organs. This, if untreated, could lead to death.

1) explain how a normal eye accommodates to focus on a nearby object ?

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

1) Accommodation is the process of changing the shape of the lens to focus on near or distant objects.

To focus on a near object – the lens becomes thicker, this allows the light rays to refract (bend) more strongly.
To focus on a distant object – the lens is pulled thin, this allows the light rays to refract slightly.

A) In how many cases in the genetic code would you fail to know the amino acid specified by a codon if you knew only the first t

Vesna [10]

Answer:

a) 28 cases

b) 3 cases

Explanation:

a) From the table of genetic codes, there are 28 codons that specify more than one amino acid assuming only the first two nucleotides are considered. In these cases, one cannot outrightly specify the amino acid the genetic codes are coding for without knowing the last nucleotide of the codes. For example, UU can be for Phenylalanine or Leucine, CA can be for Histidine or Glutamine, etc.

b) From the table of genetic codes, the first two nucleotides of Arginine can be either of CG or AG, that of Serine can be either of UC or AG while that Leucine can be either of CU or UU. Only in these 3 cases would one fail to know which are the first two nucleotides assuming the name of the amino acids are given.

See the attached image for the genetic code.
