Answer:

Acquired (or somatic) mutations occur at some time during a person's life and are present only in certain cells, not in every cell in the body. These changes can be caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun, or can occur if an error is made as DNA copies itself during cell division

kondor19780726 [428]

Ricin comes under the category of functionally related toxins, in a combination known as RIPs (ribosome inactivating proteins). This disables ribosomes and stops the process of protein synthesis.  

They directly associate with and inactivate the ribosomes or modify the factors taking part in the process of translation, generally the elongation step. These proteins bring about depurination of adenine at position 4324 in the 28 S rRNA.  

This further inhibits the generation of a critical-stem-loop configuration to which the elongation factor is considered to combine at the time of the translocation step of translation. The ultimate outcome of this activity is the complete inhibition of cellular translation.

marysya [2.9K]

Explanation:

Surprisingly, until recently, not much was known about the genes that control melanin production. 6 were known (MC1R, TYR, OCA2, SLC24A5, MATP and ASIP) and 17 more have been recently identified (DTNBP1, GPR143, HPS3, KITGL, MLPH, MYO5A, MYO7A, SLC45A2, TYRP1, ERCC6, GNAS, HERC2, IRF4, OBSCN, SKC24A5, TPNC2 and MITF), all of them directly or indirectly related to the process of melanin formation and distribution. Since there are so many different genes, if we count all the possible alterations, many different color variants can be produced.
