Answer:
The type of mutation responsible for changing a base in the mRNA strand, without changing the coding aminoacid or protein, is called a <u>silent</u> mutation.
Explanation:
In a silent mutation occurs the change of a nitrogenous base in one of the codons that encodes an aminoacid, without changing the aminoacid or altering the structure or function of the protein to be synthesized.
In this type of mutations the change of the base does not mean the change of the aminoacid, because some aminoacids can be coded with more than one codon. In the case of Leucine, the codons that encode it are CUU, CUC, CUG or CUA, so even if a base changes, the final protein will be the correct one.
For the other options:
- <u><em>Missense</em></u><em>: the change of the base in the DNA chain implies the change of the codon in the mRNA and of the encoded aminoacid, in that way a structural and functional alteration of the synthesized protein occurs. </em>
- <u><em>Nonsense</em></u><em>: the change in the nitrogenous base in the DNA leads to the coding of a termination codon, so that the protein is ultimately incomplete.</em>
- <u><em>Insertion</em></u><em>: in this case there is the addition of more nitrogenous bases to the DNA chain, with respect to the original one.</em>
Answer:
(all cells) Sum of all the chemical reactions that take place in the body, consisting of anabolism and catabolism.
Explanation:
To be pregnant, an equilibrium in ph and chemical contents of the uterus and the outside environment has to be maintained, to prevent any reactions of the chemical sustances taken in by the person pregnant and the baby *has something to do with concentration gradient, hence yes, pregnancy can count as homeostasis
Answer:
Option C. The number of oxygen atoms is the same before and after the reaction.
Explanation:
When hydrogen combine with oxygen, water is formed. According to law of conservation of matter, matter cannot be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction. So according to this law, the amount of reactants is equal to the amount of product produced after a chemical reaction and the number of oxygen atoms is the same before and after the reaction.
It is known as the liver.
