1) Homeostasis describes the carefully maintained optimal physiological conditions in our body, regardless of our outside conditions. Viruses can disturb this homeostasis by growing in our body, where they do not below, and producing toxins. Viruses are very much like the effect of a storm at sea on a sailing ship, as the ship is unable to rect as normal to feedback controls to maintain a course. 

2) The feedback loop in a sailing ship to maintain it's course would be the ships captain checking the course and detecting that the ship is off course, giving a signal for the ship's rudder and sails to be adjusted. The wind that first pushed the ship off course then plays a role in bringing the ship back on course.

Given the gene sequence GGACCGTCGATCTTC, which of the following choices would represent an inversion mutation? A. GGACTCGATCTTC
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

D. GGACCGTCGATCCTT

Explanation:

Mutation refers to any change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene. Mutation can be of different types depending on how it occurs. According to the question, an INVERSION mutation is a type of mutation in which a segment of a gene gets broken off and reattached in another way on the same DNA. Hence, the only change in inversion mutation is the arrangement of the nucleotide bases on the gene.

Considering the nucleotide sequence: GGACCGTCGATCTTC, the sequence that describes an occurrence of inversion mutation is: GGACCGTCGATCCTT because the segment TTC in the original sequence has been rearranged as CTT in the mutated sequence.
