Answer:

<em>The correct option is B) Missense mutation.</em>

Explanation:

A missense mutation can be described as a type of point mutation in which a mutation in a single nucleotide causes the codon to change and form a different type of amino acid. As in the above scenario, we can see that the code CAU coded for the amino acid, Histidine, before a point mutation occurred. After the point mutation, the codon was changed to UAU instead of CAU. UAU codes for the enzyme, tyrosine, instead of histidine.

Different cell types can react differently to epinephrine in the human body. Choose two cell types in the human body and briefly

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

I haven't really learned about cell types but I did find this information

Explanation:

How can epinephrine have different effects on different cells? Different cells have different receptors that bind epinephrine. Different cells activate different enzymes as a result of epinephrine binding.

epinephrine induces increased vascular smooth muscle contraction, pupillary dilator muscle contraction, and intestinal sphincter muscle contraction. Other significant effects include increased heart rate, myocardial contractility, and renin release

Hope it at least helps a little :)

Some bacteria living in the ocean floor can turn methane (a gas) into food.

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Only an autotrophic species can convert methane into food.

Deep below the sea, methane and hydrogen sulfide are found in abundance. These gases get mixed into the sea water.

Autotrophic bacteria containing phosynthetic pigments oxidize these dissolved gases thereby producing food.

Hence these autotrophic bacteria’s will be considered as producers as they produce food.

Thus, option A is correct.
