Answer: it is a cation (a positively charged ion). its charge is (+). It will have one positive charge.

Explanation: Ions are charged atoms. Ions can be positively charged or negatively charged. A positively charged ion is called a cation while a negatively charged ion is called an anion. Cation is formed when an atom loses one or more electrons while an anion is formed when an atom gains one or more electrons. Normally, an atom has no charge that is, it is neutral because an atom always have equal number of protons and electrons. Protons have positive charge while electrons have negative charge. For instance when atom which have 8 electrons and 8 protons loses one electron, it will then have 7 electrons and 8 protons, thereby making the atom to have a positive (+) charge.

As mean arterial pressure increases, the ________, informing the medulla oblongata that blood pressure has indeed increased.
finlep [7]

As mean arterial pressure increases, <u>the frequency of action potentials from the </u><u>baroreceptors</u><u> increases,</u> informing the medulla oblongata that blood pressure has indeed increased.

  • Special receptors called baroreceptors monitor variations in your blood pressure.
  • The aorta and carotid sinus both contain significant baroreceptors. The walls of the arteries stretch when the blood pressure in the aorta or carotid sinus rises, stimulating an increase in baroreceptor activity.
  • Action potentials are more quickly fired when baroreceptors are activated, with the speed being inversely correlated with the mechanical stretch.
  • The brain interprets the information that the baroreceptors send as a rise in blood pressure.
  • The blood vessels, heart, and kidneys are just a few of the bodily organs that get signals from the brain to lower blood pressure.

Why does a frameshift mutation usually cause more effects during protien sythesis than a point mutation
Levart [38]

Frameshift mutation affects codons downstream the point of mutation. The previous order of 3 nucleotide- sequences (codons) is consequently changed. This, therefore, changes the protein coded by the mRNA transcribed by the mutated DNA region. Frameshifts are mostly due to insertion or deletion mutations.
