Answer:

A mutation, which may arise during replication and/or recombination, is a permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA. Damaged DNA can be mutated either by substitution, deletion or insertion of base pairs. Mutations, for the most part, are harmless except when they lead to cell death or tumor formation. Because of the lethal potential of DNA mutations cells have evolved mechanisms for repairing damaged DNA.

Types of Mutations

There are three types of DNA Mutations: base substitutions, deletions and insertions.

1. Base Substitutions

Single base substitutions are called point mutations, recall the point mutation Glu -----> Val which causes sickle-cell disease. Point mutations are the most common type of mutation and there are two types.

Transition: this occurs when a purine is substituted with another purine or when a pyrimidine is substituted with another pyrimidine.

Transversion: when a purine is substituted for a pyrimidine or a pyrimidine replaces a purine.

Because all uses of antimicrobial drugs, animals contribute to the development of antimicrobial resistance, it is important to use these drugs only when medically necessary.

the production (e.g. growth enhancement) purposes as well as for the treatment, control or prevention of animal diseases.

Describe what must come together in order for atp to be made
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
To make ATP, cells must join together ADP & a phosphate using energy from food. A phosphate is removed from an ATP molecule in order to provide energy for the cell. Thus, the ATP molecule turns into an ADP molecule. We eat food which gives us energy to add another phosphate group to the ADP molecule, turning it into an ATP molecule. The cycle then begins again.
