A nucleic acid sequence is a succession of letters that indicate the order of nucleotide forming alleles within a DNA. The sequence of nucleotide tells what protein is made of. So a single change in the nucleotide makes a change in the protein and causes a malfunction.

A change in these nucleotide can end up making some part of the protein different. A single nucleotide change can change a single amino acid (amino acids are the building blocks of proteins) and the amino acid stops working at all.

brilliants [131]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B.

Explanation:

The patellar tendon reflex is the kicking movement of the lower leg in response to the tap on patellar cap used to test the L2, L3, and L4 segments of the spinal cord in the body.

The spinal cord interacts with muscles through muscle sensors called muscle spindle which signals after the stretching of the muscle. The signals are sent to the spinal cord through afferent neurons or sensory neurons which starts the reflex action to prevent overstretching of the muscle.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

What is the flow of molecules in passive transport?
Vilka [71]

Answer:

The movement of molecules across a membrane without the input of energy is known as passive transport. When energy (ATP) is needed, the movement is known as active transport. Active transport moves molecules against their concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.
