Answer:

nonsense mutation

Explanation:

A point mutation is a mutation within DNA sequence when a single nucleotide is changed (substitued, deleted, added). They can have various effects depending on the type of point mutation. For example, nonsense mutations are point mutations that result in a premature stop codon. UAC codon codes for the tyrosine amino acid, while UAG is stop codon. A s a consequence, protein product is usually unfunctional because it is incomplete.

Nonsense mutations can cause genetic disorders (e.g. thalassemia).

Answer:

Use the vingear and baking soda experiment but change it to lemon and not vingear.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction takes place when vinegar and baking soda are mixed. One of the new substances formed is carbon dioxide gas. If the carbon dioxide gas is contained, the mass of the substances will stay the same according to the Law of Conservation of Mass. If the gas is allowed to escape, the mass will be less

Describe how the folded structure of a peptide chain and the stereochemistry of an l-amino acid illustrate the difference betwee
snow_tiger [21]

The configuration is a concept that is related to the order (poition) by which different substituents linked to the same central atom, in the case of amino acids, around the central carbon atom. So, amino acids can be divided in two groups, L- and D- forms, analogous to left-handed and right-handed configurations.  

On the other hand, protein folding (folded structure of peptides) is the physical process by which a protein chain acquires its conformation (3D structure) that is usually biologically functional.

New neural pathways are created and strengthened when you
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

<u>Repeat a behaviour.</u>

Explanation:

When we adopt a new behaviour, a neural pathway is created and it gets stronger when we repeat until it become a new normal behaviour or a habit. When a message travels in a same neuronal pathway again and again, the brain begin to transmit it even more faster and these behaviours become automatic.
