SOVA2 [1]

Answer: The correct answer is Glucose.

The chemical formula of the given molecules are-

Carbon dioxide is CO₂, which means that it contains 2 oxygen and 1 carbon atom and therefore 3 atoms per molecule.

Glucose- C₆H₁₂O₆, which means that it contains 6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, and 6 oxygen atoms. Thus, total atoms are 24 per molecule.

Oxygen- O₂, which means that it contains 2 atoms of oxygen.

Water- H₂O, which means that it contains 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen atom and therefore 3 atoms per molecule.

Thus, glucose has greatest number of atoms per molecule.

Changing one base in a gene could have the
saw5 [17]


answer: 2) sequence of building blocks of a protein found in a cell.

Just random FYI:

- it is a mutation, that is generally not looked upon as being severe or detrimental to the person

-by changing the base by either adding or deleting from a protein strand will cause the protein to be useless

-frameshift mutation deals with DNA sequence being shifted. For example: a DNA strand looks like a ladder. If one of the rungs on the ladders gets skipped and the next ladder rung gets the code that the previous rung should have gotten, then that is what a frameshift mutation is. Hopefully that makes sense. It's easier to explain if there was a picture.

there are other types of mutation but I won't get into them.


Hopefully this helped and good luck.

Which are tunics (layers) that make up the gastrointestinal wall?
AlekseyPX

The gastrointestinal wall is composed of four layers or tunics:

  • Mucosa
  • Submucosa
  • Muscularis mucosa
  • Serosa

The innermost tunic of the wall is known as the mucosa or mucous membrane layer. The digestive tract's lumen is lined with it. The mucosa comprises epithelium, a layer of lamina propria, a loose layer of connective tissue, and the muscularis mucosa, a thin layer of smooth muscle.

The mucosa is surrounded by a substantial layer of loose connective tissue known as the submucosa. Blood arteries, lymphatic vessels, and neurons are also present in this stratum. The adventitia is a connective tissue that makes up the digestive tract's outermost layer above the diaphragm. It is referred to as serosa below the diaphragm.
