It takes place <span>between the alveoli and capillaries, which are located in the walls of the alveoli.</span>
The start signal is AUG which codes fo methionine. The amino acid sequence will be as follows: <span>Met-Phe-Pro-Ser-Tyr-Pro-Lys-Asp-Lys-Lys-Glu. The first codon (GCC) codes for alanine but not in the amino acid sequence because it is not a start codon (the only start codon is AUG which codes for methionine).

The flow of oxygen is simply summarized as entering the body through the lungs and being absorbed into the blood. From there, the oxygenated blood is carried to the heart and then pumped all over the body. From there, the oxygen is absorbed by cells that need it for respiration.
Carbon dioxide is generated via respiration of glucose in muscle and body cells. It then passes into the blood and is carried out to the lungs, where it diffuses out and is breathed out.
Blood follows a double circulation pattern, where deoxygenated is pumped to the lungs from the heart then goes back to the heart to be pumped into the rest of the body.
GAU to GAC is least likely to change phenotype of an organism.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>
Phenotype of an organism is defined as the physical characteristics of an organism. This phenotype is dependent on the genotype of the organisms. This means the phenotypic characters are actually the expressions of the genes of the organisms. Now the genes are expressed in form of codons that are the three nitrogen base sequences. Each codon codes for a particular amino acid which in turn polymerises to from the protein which actually forms the phenotype of the organism.
Now there are 20 amino acids and 64 codons. Thus there are more than 1 codons for a single amino acid. So, if a codon is replaced by another codon which codes for same amino acid, then the phenotype is least likely to be affected.
Both the GAU and GAC codes for aspartic acid. So the phenotype won't be affected much by this mutation
