Option C:

B. wild-type 5-AUGCAUACAUUGGAGUGA-3 mutant 5'-AUGCAUACAUCUGGAGUGA- 3' 

Explanation:

A frameshift mutation is a genetic mutation such that the triplet nature of gene expression by codons, the insertion or deletion occurs in such as way that it alters the complete sequence of 3 codon sets and can change the reading frame, resulting in a completely different translation from the original.

As it is pertinent to understanding that all genes are normally translated in sets of 3 codons, which typically describes and explain a unique amino acid sequence. Thus, if a frame shift mutation occurs, it can affect many amino acid sequences and finally the entire protein.  

If we look at option B:

wild-type 5-AUG   CAU  ACA  UUG  GAG  UGA-3  

mutant 5’-    AUG   CAU  ACA  UCU  GGA  GUG  A-3’  

An insertion of a base Uracil showed at the end of 3rd codon which affected and altered the whole sequence of codon triplets. This changed all next codons and finally all next amino acids will be altered.

What prevents blood movement from left ventricle to left atrium​
irina1246 [14]

The Mitral valve which is also known as left atrioventricular prevents blood movement from left ventricle to left atrium.

Explanation:

  • Human heart is four chambered.
  • Two of these are receiving chambers known as atria and the other two are distributing chamber known as Ventricles.
  • Atria are superior chambers and ventricles are inferior chambers.
  • The heart has four valves broadly grouped as Atrioventricular valves and Semi lunar valves.
  • Atrioventricular valves allows flow of blood from atria to ventricle. These are tricuspid valve and bicuspid valve.
  • Semi-lunar valves allow blood to pass out of the heart. These include the pulmonary and aortic valves.
  • The pulmonary valve allows blood to flow from right ventricle  to the heart while aortic valve allows blood to flow from left ventricle to the Aorta.
  • The Tricuspid valve located between the right atrium and right ventricle allows blood to flow from right atrium to the right ventricle.
  • The Bicuspid valve ( Mitral valve)  located between the left atrium and left ventricle allows the blood flow from left atria to left ventricle.
  • Valves maintain the unidirectional flow of blood and thus prevent its back flow.
