Genes are segments of DNA located on chromosomes. A gene mutation is defined as an alteration in the sequence of nucleotides in DNA. This change can affect a single nucleotide pair or larger gene segments of a chromosome. DNA consists of a polymer of nucleotides joined together. During protein synthesis, DNA is transcribed into RNA and then translated to produce proteins. Altering nucleotide sequences most often results in nonfunctioning proteins. Mutations cause changes in the genetic code that lead to genetic variation and the potential to develop the disease. Gene mutations can be generally categorized into two types: point mutations and base-pair insertions or deletions.
Answer:
Normal distribution/Bell-curve
Explanation:
I'm not quite so sure as to the distribution type, but it is definitely a bell curve.
Answer:
Explanation:
Long-term memory may involve a change in the shape of the neuron's cytoskeleton.
The long-term memory process involves a structural change with the growth of new synaptic connections by the sensory neurons onto their follower cells.

If your body lacks enzymes that break down
carbohydrates, it would be unable to get sugar molecules for energy production.
If you lacked the enzyme to digest proteins, you may not absorb enough amino
acids.
The digestive system in our body changes
carbohydrates into glucose; also known as blood sugar to be use as an important
source of energy. Meanwhile, amino acids are organic compounds that combine to
form proteins, which are the building blocks of life.
Answer: Increased fecal coliform
Explanation:
The fecal coliform is a strain of bacteria which can be found in colonies in the digestive tract of humans and animals. It comes out along with the fecal discharge from the body. It is likely to be present in the farm runoff because it can be an ingredient of cattle dung based manure which could be used in farm land. Also will be present in the feedlot because of the daily discharge of dung by the cattles in the feedlot. In the septic tank the human or animal fecal matter will exhibit a colony of the coliform bacteria. If the solid and liquid matter from any of these discharges enters into a fresh water body will likely to cause pollution because of the presence of fecal colliform. It results in appearance of foul smell in water and likely to deteriorate the quality.
