Answer:

c) It introduces a premature stop codon into the mRNA

Explanation:

Nonsense mutation is a type of point mutation (single nucleotide base is changed) which leads to premature stop codon. Stop codons are also called nonsense codons and that is way this type of mutation is called nonsense mutation. As a consequence, synthesized protein is incomplete and shorter than it should be (truncated protein), usually nonfunctional.

Why are intravenous solutions generally isotonic and not hypotonic or hypertonic what is the significance of normal saline?
Sholpan [36]
Because it can induce osmosis.

The best solution for intravenous in most condition is isotonic because it will not upset the oncotic pressure of the blood. If you use hypertonic or hypotonic solution, the oncotic pressure can be altered and causing osmosis happen to the cell. The osmosis can cause injury to the cell as its water content will be changed.

The synapse is typically located between the _____ of the first (sending) neuron and the _____ of the second (receiving) neuron.
uysha [10]

Answer:

axon; dendrite

Explanation:

A neuron has three main parts. These are axons, dendrites, and a cell body. Synapse is the site of communication between two neurons. The first neuron of a synapse is called the presynaptic neuron (sending neuron) while the second one is called the postsynaptic neuron (receiving). The axon of the presynaptic neuron and the dendrites of the postsynaptic neuron communicate with each other at the synapse as the axon of the first neuron delivers the nerve impulse away from the cell body.

Dendrites function as the receiving or input portions of a neuron. The plasma membranes of dendrites have numerous receptor sites for binding chemical messengers from the presynaptic neuron.

Archy [21]

The main difference between Exponential growth and Logistic growth is that logistic growth takes into account carrying capacity. On a graph, logistic growth levels off as it nears carrying capacity while exponential growth does not.

Exponential growth involves a positive feedback loop and Logistic growth involves a negative one.
