Explanation:

If the mutation changes the sequence of nucleotides in the DNA, the genotype will change. This change in genotype will give rise to different sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide formed after translation. This different protein may be non-functional or reduced in function, which may ultimately change the phenotype as well.

However, it is important to note that the phenotype may or may not change depending on the type of mutation. If the mutation causes a totally different protein to be synthesized during translation, the phenotype will be greatly affected as well. If the mutation only changes one or two amino acids in the final polypeptide, there might be no visible chanhlge in the phenotype.

Answer:

The correct answer is: Homeostasis.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is a key element in the correct functioning of the body, as it groups different processes that consist of regulating biological systems in order to maintain certain aspects of the body constant. If homeostasis were to fail, the body would sicken.

Homeostasis is controlled by two important systems: the nervous system, and the endocrine system. While they have many differences (for example, the nervous system's response is quicker and lasts less than the endocrine system's response), they share the capacity of sending messages to different parts of the body to generate responses that help us adapt to the varying conditions of the environment.

Examples of homeostasis include the regulation of body temperature, pH, and blood sugar levels (glycemia).

Describe the function of each of the following in protein synthesis; rRNA, mRNA, and tRNA

Drupady [299]

Proteins synthesis requires transcription of DNA (containing information) to mRNA then this goes out of the cell’s nucleus to cytoplasm; and translation of mRNA together with ribosome and tRNA to synthesize proteins. Further steps are the following: 1) One side of DNA strand is copied to become mRNA (messenger RNA). 2) mRNA goes out the cell’s nucleus, next to cytoplasm and then to ribosome. 3) mRNA works with ribosome’s 3 bases at the same time. 4) tRNA (transfer RNA) connects with available DNA bases. <span>5) tRNA releases the amino acids which in turn combines with the other produced amino acid chains from different DNAs. </span>

Which statement describes the dependent variable?

AnnZ [28]

The statement which describes the dependent variable would be the measured variable. We usually use the independent variable and manipulate it and change its levels to see how the levels of the measurable (dependent) variable change.
