Answer:

Explanation:

The mutation was caused as a result of deletion of one letter of the codon A from tyrosine leading a shift in the reading frame.

Normal is

Normal - Met - Tyr -His- Glu- Val

Aug- Uac- Cac - Gaa -Gug

When a is removed from Tyrosine codon we have a shift in the reading frame to form a mutant with a new codon and protein.

Mutant - Met- Phe - Thr - Lys -Cys

Aug- Ucc- Acg - Aag -Ugu

Mutation is a sudden change in the genie of an organism that can be heritage by offspring from their parent.

Why must there be more producers than consumers within an ecosystem ?
Papessa [141]
<em>Because for example one large eagle needs lots of small sparrows to eat. There is usually a food pyramid so for example you could display it along the lines of 1,000 worms are eaten by 20 sparrows which are eaten by 1 eagle. Its just the way things are. It is a fine balance. if you went up to two eagles on same land they would run out of food quickly and then would either starve or have to move on and using up all the food doesnt help them so it needs to be in a fine balance. A balanced ecosystem.</em>

A human eats a meal and afterward their blood glucose levels rise. Explain how the human body responds to return their blood glu
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The bloodstream carries glucose-a type of sugar produced from the digestion of carbohydrates and other foods-to provide energy to cells throughout the body. Unused glucose is stored mainly in the liver as glycogen.

Insulin , glucagon, and other hormone levels rise and fall to keep blood sugar in a normal range. Too little or too much of these hormones can cause blood sugar levels to fall too low (hypoglycemia) or rise too high (hyperglycemia).

Normally, blood glucose levels increase after you eat a meal. When blood sugar rises, cells in the pancreas release insulin, causing the body to absorb glucose from the blood and lowering the blood sugar level to normal. When blood sugar drops too low, the level of insulin declines and other cells in the pancreas release glucagon, which causes the liver to turn stored glycogen back into glucose and release it into the blood. This brings blood sugar levels back up to normal
