It is actually a mis-sense mutation.
ATA on DNA is UAU on mRNA. This codon has the amino acid ‘Leu’
TAT on DNA is AUA on mRNA. This codon has the amino acid ‘Ile’
A silent mutation means that the amino acid is not changed. This is a missense mutation because the amino acid is changed but the snake is still able to produce venom.

What would you do if you found out that you contracted a deadly bacterium/ virus?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:The plague is a serious bacterial infection that can be deadly. Sometimes referred to as the “black plague,” the disease is caused by a bacterial strain called Yersinia pestis. This bacterium is found in animals throughout the world and is usually transmitted to humans through fleas.

The risk of plague is highest in areas that have poor sanitation, overcrowding, and a large population of rodents.

In medieval times, the plague was responsible for the deaths of millions of people in Europe.

Today, there are only 1,000 to 2,000 casesTrusted Source reported worldwide each year, with the highest incidence in Africa.

Plague is a rapidly progressing disease that can lead to death if untreated. If you suspect you have it, call a doctor right away or go to an emergency room for immediate medical attention.

Types of plague

There are three basic forms of plague:

Bubonic plague

The most common form of plague is bubonic plague. It’s usually contracted when an infected rodent or flea bites you. In very rare cases, you can get the bacteria from material that has come into contact with an infected person.

Bubonic plague infects your lymphatic system (a part of the immune system), causing inflammation in your lymph nodes. Untreated, it can move into the blood (causing septicemic plague) or to the lungs (causing pneumonic plague).

Septicemic plague

When the bacteria enter the bloodstream directly and multiply there, it’s known as septicemic plague. When they’re left untreated, both bubonic and pneumonic plague can lead to septicemic plague.

Pneumonic plague

When the bacteria spread to or first infect the lungs, it’s known as pneumonic plague — the most lethal form of the disease. When someone with pneumonic plague coughs, the bacteria from their lungs are expelled into the air. Other people who breathe that air can also develop this highly contagious form of plague, which can lead to an epidemic.

Pneumonic plague is the only form of the plague that can be transmitted from person to person.

How plague spreads

People usually get plague through the bite of fleas that have previously fed on infected animals like mice, rats, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, and prairie dogs. It can also be spread through direct contact with an infected person or animal or by eating an infected animal.

Plague can also spread through scratches or bites of infected domestic catsTrusted Source.

It’s rare for bubonic plague or septicemic plague to spread from one human to another.

Answer:

B.

that the biodiversity of the coral reefs will decrease if global temperatures continue to increase.

Explanation:

Coral reefs are believed by many to have the highest biodiversity of any ecosystem on the planet—even more than a tropical rainforest. Occupying less than one percent of the ocean floor, coral reefs are home to more than twenty-five percent of marine life.

Answer;

a.) the most common kind of cell division

c.)same number of chromosomes in each daughter cell as in the parent cell.

Explanation;

-Mitosis is a type of cell division which takes place ins the body cells or the somatic body cells, where the parent cell divides to give two daughter cells that have the same number of chromosomes as the parent. Thus, if the parent cell will be diploid (2n) then the daughter cells will also be diploid (two sets of each chromosome).

-This type of cell division plays an important part in the development of embryos, and it is important for the growth and development of human bodies as well.

True or false? in host-versus-graft rejection, the recipient recognizes the donor tissue as foreign and rejects the transplant;
snow_tiger [21]
The statements above are true;
In a host-versus-graft rejection the recipient's immune system recognizes the donor's tissue as foreign and rejects the transplant. On the other hand, in a graft-versus-host rejection, the donor tissue recognizes the recipient's tissue as foreign and the transplant rejects the recipient, causing destruction of the recipient's tissue and possibly death. Its important also to note that there are two types of rejection, the acute rejection, where the rejection of transplanted tissue that occurs several weeks after transplant. it is delayed hypersensitivity reaction, and the chronic rejection is a rejection of transplanted tissue that can occur at a late time. Immune complexes form in the arteries supplying the graft, choking off the blood supply and the tissue is rejected.
