<span>    How does pulmonary circulation work? In my example below, we will start with the blood not reaching the heart yet. The heart beats around 75 beats a minute. Deoxygenated blood is in the veins, going to the heart. Note that veins will always carry deoxygenated blood, excluding the pulmonary veins. The deoxygenated blood goes into the heart through the superior or inferior vena cava, and goes into the right atrium. It then gets pumped into the right ventricle, and gets pumped through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs to get oxygenated. The blood, now oxygenated, comes back to the heart through the pulmonary veins, into the left atrium. The blood gets pumped from the left atrium to the left ventricle, where it gets pumped through the aorta to all of the body systems. The red blood cells travel through capillaries, which is where most  of the gas exchange occurs between body cells and red blood cells. Red blood cells have no nuclei. When the red blood cells are no longer red, but blue due to lack of oxygen, they go back to the heart to get pumped to the lungs, and enter the heart through the superior or inferior vena cava. The cycle starts over. Just like the veins, arteries always carry oxygenated blood, excluding the pulmonary arteries. Also, the right side of the heart will have deoxygenated blood, or blue blood, and the left side of the heart will have oxygenated blood. </span>

explain how a change in the sequence of nucleotide in a strand of DNA might cause a protein to malfunction
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer: Proteins are made using DNA as a template. The DNA is turned into RNA, and the RNA is then turned into DNA. 

A change in these nucleotides could end up making some part of the protein different. A single nucleotide change could be silent (no change in the protein) or could change a single amino acid (amino acids are the building blocks of proteins). If that was an important amino acid, the protein might not function at all! A silent change can occur because the same set of nucleotides sometimes makes the same final amino acid (for example, reading "gcc" "gca" "gcg" or "gct" nucleotides all mean "alanine" amino acid). 

The deletion of a single nucleotide, or the addition of one, can change the entire sequence of amino acids that come after it! Nucleotides are read in sets of three, so this throws off how the DNA is read. If would be like turning "The brown fox jumps over the dog" into "The gbrow nfo xjump sove rth edo g". Completely different! All of the words are thrown off.

I know it is long but I hope it helped
