In a DNA molecule, three nucleotides make up a codon. A codon is creates a specific amino acid. Therefore, in order to work this out, we must calculate the number of codons that will not be affected by the mutation. This is done by finding the highest number that is divisible by 3 but less than 85. This can be done by:
85 / 3 = 28.333
So 28 codons will not be affected.

Hi there!
I'm not too sure how to save the victim's life in a situation like this, but you SHOULD NOT give oxygen to a victim who has suffered from an explosion at close-range, while under positive pressure.
Answer:
Through simple diffusion, down the concentration gradient.
Explanation:
The phospholipids of the membrane are amphipathic with hydrophillic heads and hydrophobic tails. Other polar molecules cannot go through this hydrophobic interior. Since small uncharged lipids are non polar and hydrohobic, they are able to go through the membrane without the help of transport proteins. Therefore, the last two options can be ruled out because facilitated diffusion includes the use of a protein. Diffusion involves molecules moving down the concentration gradient so the second option can be ruled out.
