This would be an example of:
C) an insertion mutation.

Notice how the sequence contains the same letters as before, only an A is added to the beginning. Adding extra nucleotides is an example of an insertion mutation, a type of frame-shift also, because the reading frame will be thrown off downstream.

What are your thoughts about how the universe formed?

V125BC [204]

For centuries scientists thought the Universe always existed in a largely unchanged form, run like clockwork thanks to the laws of physics. But a Belgian priest and scientist called George Lemaitre put forward another idea. In 1927, he proposed that the Universe began as a large, pregnant and primeval atom, exploding and sending out the smaller atoms that we see today.

His idea went largely unnoticed. But in 1929 astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that the Universe isn’t static but is in fact expanding. If so, some scientists reasoned that if you rewound the Universe's life then at some point it should have existed as a tiny, dense point. Critics dismissed this: the celebrated astronomer Fred Hoyle sarcastically called this concept the “Big Bang Theory"

NISA [10]

Answer:

Proteinuria occurs when the filtration membrane becomes leaky, allowing proteins to cross. This impacts the blood colloid osmotic pressure by decreasing the osmolarity gradient between the blood and filtrate, thereby reducing the strength of this pressure.

Explanation:

Proteinuria is the medical term that describes the presence of proteins in the urine. <u>Proteins, in normal conditions, are not capable of filtrating through the membrane</u> but, in the presence of a disease, this is possible.

Proteins are responsible for the colloid osmotic pressure in the blood vessels, so when proteins get filtered, this pressure decreases and so does the osmolarity gradient between the blood and filtrate. <u>The decrease in osmolarity gradient also produces a decrease of the colloid osmotic pressure because the strength of the pressure is as big as the gradient between the two compartments</u>.
