The main difference between parasites and predators is that the former are organisms that live at the expense of another organism, called the host, while the latter capture and feed on another organism, called the prey. Parasites are generally smaller than their host, whereas predators are typically larger than their prey. Moreover, parasites do not kill their host, but predators often kill their prey.

which example of a missense mutation in a protein-encoding gene would most likely be a neutral mutation?
KATRIN_1 [288]

An example of a missense mutation in a protein-encoding gene would most likely be a neutral mutation is option B: replacement of a polar amino acid with another polar amino acid at the protein's surface.

A frequent and well-known example of a missense mutation is the blood condition sickle-cell anemia. Missense mutations exist in the DNA at a single location in sickle-cell anemia patients. A different amino acid is required in this missense mutation, which also alters the overall structure of the protein. Similarly, replacement of a polar amino acid by another polar Ami no acid at the protein's surface is a missense mutation causing change in a single site.

A neutral mutation is one whose fixation is unrelated to natural selection. Therefore, the independence of a mutation's fixation from natural selection can be used to define the selective neutrality of a mutation.

Ghella [55]

One reasonable plan would be to wear a face mask or surgical mask. Take note that your surgical mask contains two sides – the white side and the blue side. Since the main purpose of your mask usage is to prevent yourself from inhaling too much bad air, the blue side of the mask should be the one touching your skin. This is because the white side of your mask helps you prevent from coming in contact with toxins that may come from the smog.
