What if a mutation caused a change in the code so the message read GAG instead of GAC?

Answer: There will be no effect on the protein produced

Explanation:

According to the genetic code, the triplet codon GAG code for the amino acid, glutamate, while GAC code for aspartate.

Since GAG and GAC code for amino acids with similar properties (aspartate and glutamate are both acidic amino acids due to the extra carboxyl group present in their side chain), the change in nucleotide is still similar to the original, so will result in a different amino acid sequence, but will not alter the function of the protein at all. Thus, this kind of mutation is called silent mutation.

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) work together in maintaining osmoregulatory homeo
julsineya [31]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- ADH alters the reabsorption of water and RAAS leads to the reabsorption of sodium ions.

Explanation:

To maintain the osmolarity of the blood in the human body, the body activates the RAAS pathway and the production of ADH.

RAAS pathway gets activated when the receptors sense low blood pressure in the body. This activates the production of renin from the juxtaglomerular cells of the body which converts the angiotensin to angiotensin I and later angiotensin II.

This allows the reabsorption of sodium ions in the blood through proximal and distal tubules in the nephron.  This activates the synthesis of aldosterone which increase the permeability to sodium ions.

The Antidiuretic hormone helps regulate the low blood pressure by adding aquaporins to the distal tubule membrane which help absorb the water.

Thus, ADH alters the reabsorption of water and RAAS leads to the reabsorption of sodium ions is the correct

How would the body most likely respond to the condition illustrated
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

A) Faster blood flow: A faster blood flow means the heart pumps blood with more power. Pumping blood to fast for too long can damage the heart muscle and interfere with its normal electrical signals, which can result in a dangerous heart rhythm disorder.

B) Infection: infection is caused by invasion of the body by external microorganisms. Disease can arise if the host's protective immune mechanisms are compromised and the organism inflicts damage on the host.

C) vomiting: This is an involuntary, forced expulsion of stomach contents usually through the mouth or nose. Body's reaction can be aspiration, electrolyte and water loss, damage to the enamel of the teeth, tear of the esophageal mucosa etc.

D) High blood pressure: This is due to the heart pumping blood at high pressure putting a strain on the walls of the blood vessels. In some cases, people with high blood pressure may have a pounding feeling in their head or chest, a feeling of lightheadedness or dizziness, or other signs.

The perceptual grouping of lights in biological motion has been shown physiologically to occur in the _______ area of the cortex
atroni [7]
The correct answer is the "superior temporal sulcus".
Superior Temporal Sulcus is described as the sulcus isolating the advanced temporal gyrus from the middle temporal gyrus in the temporal lobe of the brain. The advanced temporal sulcus is the primary sulcus not so good as the lateral fissure. latest research monitor multisensory processing talents. Studies has shown the recorded activation in the STS because of 5 precise social inputs, and therefore the STS is believed to be implicated in social perception.
