This is called a frameshift mutation....
Losing one nucleotide would cause the entire framework of codons (the 3 nucleotide set that codes for the amino acids) to move off by 1 which results in likely completely different amino acids being called for when the protein is built.
In the case of CF, the normal CFTR gene which codes for Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Receptor - a membrane protein, with a point mutation would not be made properly and is therefore not placed into the membrane of the cells of the offspring - this protein is very important in moving sodium into the cell - if this is messed up it results in disease.
Note that CF can result in a number of different types of mutations to the CFTR gene...a frameshift mutation is just one way.
Answer: a cellular process called respiration
Explanation: To obtain the energy from the food it produces, plants must break down the sugar in the cells throughout the plant in a cellular process called respiration.
Answer:
1,250,000 shrimps per m³
Explanation:
Population density refers to how dense an area is per unit area/volume, and it is calculated by dividing the number of individuals in that area (population) by the area/volume of that area. That is;
Population density = population (N)/volume
According to this question, a certain lake has a volume of about 480 m³ that harbors a 600 million of freshwater shrimp. This means that;
Population density of the lake = population of shrimps ÷ volume of lake
Population density = 600,000,000 ÷ 480
Population density = 1,250,000 shrimps per m³
