type of mutation?

Answer:

A buildup of sticky mucus on the outside of the cell  

Explanation:

The deletion of the codon means that the protein the gene codes for is missing one amino acid.

That protein acts as a Cl⁻ channel in the cellular membrane and controls the movement of water in the tissues.

The water produces thin, freely flowing mucus. Without the water, a coating of thick mucus builds up on the outside of the cell.

jekas [21]

The author supports the statement by explaining the different theories about yawning, this includes theories and some that are still studied.

The author states that scientists have not yet reached any consensus regarding theories about why humans yawn and argue this claim by explaining the following theories about yawning:

  • In Antiquity: Hippocrates' Yawning Theory focused on the respiratory system by hypothesizing that yawning precedes fever and is a way of removing polluted air from the lungs.
  • In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries: Most theories focused on the circulatory system. These theories posited that yawning causes an increase in blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen in the blood.
  • Today: Dr. Robert Provine, in 2005 stated that yawning is associated with changing a state of behavior.
  • Gallup in 2008 proposed that yawning is related to a way of cooling the brain's temperature.
  • In 2011, Dr. Andrew Gallup and Omar Tonsi Eldakar stated that yawning is related to the outside temperature, that is, when the temperature is warm, the body yawns less frequently.

According to the above, it can be inferred that scientists have not reached a consensus on yawning because all have raised different theories to explain its function.

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

This question is asking to fill in the blank spaces with the correct terms. The correct terms to the four blank spaces are:

1) GEL

2) DYE

3) DNA MARKER

4) LID

Explanation:

This question is describing the Gel electrophoresis technique which is used to separate DNA fragments using electric current. The DNA fragments of different sizes migrate through a GEL which serves as the matrix made from Agarose.

In order to physically see the samples that we put in the gel, we first have to add DYE to each sample of DNA. After loading the samples to be separated, a substance made up of DNA fragments of known sizes referred to as DNA MARKER, which acts as the standard curve in a tube is used.

Before running the gel, it's important to make sure that there is LID covering the gel in the gel rig. This will make sure that the electrical current runs through the gel and the gel stays cool.
