Biology
1 answer:
SVETLANKA909090 [29]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Hello!

The answer is C) substitution

Explanation:

Substitution:

A kind of mutation that involves the substitution of a single nucleotide by another, without changing the frame of reference of the DNA sequence. In this particular example, the thymine in the codon GAG (codes for glutamic acid) is being substituted by the base adenine, leaving the codon GTG (codes for the amino acid, valine).

The described substitution occurs in the case of the disease, sickle cell anemia that yields abnormal heamoglobin.

  • A) A deletion removes a base from the DNA sequence. This alters the frame of reference of the mRNA.
  • B) An insertion involves the addition of a base into the DNA sequence.
  • D) A silent mutation substitutes a base in such as way that the new codon codes for the same amino acid, conserving the function and structure of the protein; therefore, silent mutations are harmless.

How does hemophilia affect homeostasis?
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

Homeostasis works by creating the opposite effect in order to counteract a change in the body. One of these effects is blood coagulation. This means that blood is thickened and hardened in order to stop blood flow when there is a cut, open wound, or internal bleeding. Hemophilia on the other hand completely prevents blood from coagulating which makes the homeostasis process obsolete. Without blood coagulation, an individual can bleed to death from any small cut which is usually non-life-threatening.

How is the shape of a shark's body adapted for swimming?
inn [45]
Their bodies taper to points at both the snout and the tail, reducing water resistance. Also decreasing drag -- and therefore noise -- are dermal denticles, sharp scales that cover the skin of most shark species.  Rather than bone, sharks have cartilage, which is much lighter and more flexible. In addition, their livers produce squalene, a fatty oil that helps them remain afloat. Their pectoral fins allow them to quickly change direction, dive and swim upward.
