Identify how the deletion of a single nitrogen base in DNA can cause a harmful mutation in an organism.

Biology

Answer:

B. Nearly every amino acid translated after the error will create the wrong protein after the deletion of a base.

Explanation:

Generally, mutations occur in two ways: 1) a base replacement, where one base is replaced for another; 2) insertion or deletion, where a base is either incorrectly inserted or deleted from a codon.

When a nucleotide is wrongly inserted or deleted from a codon, the effects of this change can be extreme. An insertion or deletion can affect every codon in a particular genetic sequence.  For example, given the code:

GAU GAC UCC GCU AGG. It is the codes for the amino acids aspartate, aspartate, serine, alanine, and arginine. If the A in the GAU were to be deleted, the code would become GUG ACU CCG UAG G. It won't produce any right amino acid.

So, if the code becomes changes, it won't produce any amino acid or will produce the wrong amnio acid.

mixer [17]

Answer:

(08) and (32)

Explanation:

To make osmosis happen there has to be a difference in the concentration of solutes, between the inside and the outside of the cell. To valance this difference in concentration, water has to flow towards a place that has a higher number of solutes.

The lipids in the cell's wall make this membrane semipermeable. This allows the passage of specific components only, such as water through aquaporins. Lipids and other elements are of importance in the barrier because they maintain the cell separated from the outside, allowing it to be balanced as regards the different substances that can interact with it.

Compare and contrast osmotic challenges faced by animals in freshwater, marine, and terrestrial environments, and the adaptation
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

  • Fresh water fish have higher salt contents in their bodies than in their environments.
  • Marine fishes have less salt in their bodies than their environment
  • Terrestrial organisms have the challenge of water retention due to atmospheric contact.

Explanation:

FRESH WATER OSMOREGULATION

The salt concentration in salt water fish is higher than the concentration found in its environment (fresh water). This causes water to enter into the body of the fish through osmosis and without regulating processes, the fish is bound to swell and likely burst.To compensate for this challenge, the kidney in fresh water fish produces a large amount of urine, causing them to lose salt. To ensure too salt is not lost beyond the basic requirement, chloride cells in the gills take up ions from the water which are transported into the blood.

MARINE OSMOREGULATION

In marine fishes, the challenge opposes that of fresh water fishes since salt content in this case is lower in their blood than in their environment. To address this challenge, marine fishes lose water constantly while retaining salts to lead to a build up. The water lost, is then made up for and replenished by continual drinking of seawater. The chloride cells in marine fishes works in a manner opposing that of fresh water fish, functioning to compliment the excretion of salts by the kidney.

TERRESTRIAL OSMOREGULATION

The major challenge of osmoregulation in  terrestrial organisms is water regulation in the body owing to their contact with the atmosphere.

Terrestrial organisms possess effective kidneys which enable osmoregulation. A series of processes including filtration, re-absorption and tubular secretion, enable regulation of fluids and water conservation.

Water passes out of the descending limb of the loop of Henle, leaving a more concentrated filtrate inside. Salt diffuses out from the lower, thin part of the ascending limb. In the upper, thick part of the ascending limb, salt is then actively transported into the interstitial fluid. The amount of salt in the interstitial fluid, determines how much water moves out of the descending limb i.e the saltier it gets, the more water moves out of the descending limb. This process leaves a concentrated filtrate inside, so more salt passes out. Water from the collecting ducts moves out by osmosis into this hypertonic interstitial fluid and is carried away by capillaries, achieving osmoregulation.

Define the term osmosis and give an example.​
makkiz [27]

Answer: Osmosis is the movement of water or other solvent through a plasma membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration, tending to equalise the concentrations of the solutes. Osmosis is passive transport, meaning it does not require energy to be applied.

Examples of osmosis in daily life include plant cells soaking up water, skin soaking up water, and slugs reacting to salt.
