The nurse understands that it attributes to the decrease in the physiological function of major organs. 
Acute pancreatitis affects people of all ages, but the mortality rate associated with acute pancreatitis increases with advancing age. The pattern of complications changes with age. Younger patients tend to develop local complications; the incidence of multiple organ failure increases with age; possibly as a result of progressive decreases in physiologic function of major organs with increasing age.

When two genes from two different people are sequenced and aligned, it is discovered that there are multiple sequence difference
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The mutations lie at locations where they don't affect protein sequence due to degeneracy of the genetic code.

Explanation:

Genetic code is the set of the triplet codons each of which code for a specific amino acid. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA is read in the form of triplets during the process of protein synthesis and the respective amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain. The genetic code is degenerate. This means that more than one triplet code specifies one amino acid and some amino acids are encoded by more than one codon.

For instance, genetic codes CUU, CUC, CUA, CUG specify amino acid "leucine". Therefore, any change in the DNA sequence that replaces one code for the leucine with another would not affect the amino acid composition of the protein. This would result in the synthesis of proteins with the same amino acid sequence from both the wild type and mutated genes.

Write a paragraph to explain how genetic variation and environmental pressures can lead to change in an organism.
denpristay [2]
Increasing genetic variation and the environmental effects on that variation form the basis for natural selection. Natural selection is a theory that states that those individuals who are best adapted to live in an area will survive and reproduce.  I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
