<span>The mutation did not affect amino acid sequence or the molecular weight (no evidence of amino acid substitution or protein truncation). Therefore, the mutation is not likely within the coding region of the gene.  Most likely the mutation is in the regulatory region of the gene such as the promoter region. Such mutation would interfere with transcription initiation and hence decreases the amount of mRNA and protein produced. </span>

Mutations are rare and occur because of?
kodGreya [7K]

What are some of the concerns associated with our increasing population and consumption of resources?
Ugo [173]

Explanation:

As human population increases the rate of consumption of resources also increases. Economists postulates that available resources with which to satisfy our unlimited wants as a population is highly limited.

  • Increase in population leads to an increasing pressure on available resources such as freshwater, land, air, energy e.t.c.
  • Increasing population easily leads to deforestation. Deforestation is the loss of forest. Forest trees are used in construction of houses and industries. Forests also takes up space and they might have to be plundered to make way for new buildings. Eventually, the forest will be lost.
  • Decrease in standard of living: increasing population will lead to a low standard of living. Resources meant to accommodate a certain number of people will no longer be sufficient for them.
  • High poverty rate; if population continues to rise, the rate of poverty will increase too. There will be limited resources to cater for the well being of the populace as a whole.

<h2>Performance of jaw-thrust maneuver</h2>

Explanation:

  • The medical emergency services provide medical facilities to individuals. The service can be provided in case of accidents, sudden injury, heart attack, and other medical situations.
  • The individual should provide the emergency first aid that prevents the individual tongue from the obstruction of his upper airways. The maneuver is mainly performed on the supine patient. This first aid provides the proper oxygen in the patient's body.
  • The occluded teeth typically forestall progress ahead of the mandible, and the thumbs must discourage the mentum while the fingers hold mandible and lift it upward. This results in the mandibular teeth projecting before the maxillary teeth (after the mouth opens slightly)

The pull of the moon on Earth's tidal bulge is causing _____.
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

High tides and low tides are caused by the moon. The moon's gravitational pull generates something called the tidal force. The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on the side closest to the moon and the side farthest from the moon. These bulges of water are high tides.
