Answer/Explanation:

A single base pair change could change a single amino acid. This amino acid could have totally different properties to the initial amino acid. For example, a change from the codon CCC to GCC would change the amino acid from proline to alanine. These two amino acids have entirely different characteristics, and could totally disrupt the structure of a particular domain of a protein. For example, proline is rigid and has a ring structure, and alanine has a non-polar side chain and rarely participates in protein function.

How does the human heart interact with gravity

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Many parts of the cardiovascular system (including the heart) are influenced by gravity. On Earth, for example, the veins in our legs work against gravity to get blood back to the heart. Without gravity, however, the heart and blood vessels change – and the longer the flight, the more severe the changes.
