Most fish exchange gases using gills on either side of the pharynx (throat). Gills are tissues which consist of threadlike protein structures called filaments. These filaments have many functions including the transfer of ions and water, as well as the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, acids and ammonia.

Think about the dna coding sequence of a gene. if an a were swapped for a t, what kind of mutation could it cause and why? think

Hi, 

I think the answer you're looking for is already in the question you submitted. However, I disagree that a frameshift could result from the mutation because frameshifts would only happen if there were insertions or deletions in the sequence. For your question, this is an example of a simple point mutation/nucleotide base substitution, and would only result to either a missense or a nonsense mutation. Depending on the bases flanking your mutation, this results to transcribing a different sequence of RNA leading to translating either a different amino acid or a stop codon.
