The effects of point mutations on polypeptides Point mutations are those that alter a single base pair or base location, and inc

lude substitutions and frameshift mutations. They can range in severity from no phenotypic change to complete loss of function. Rank the following point mutations in order of least damaging to most damaging if they occur in the middle of the coding sequence of a polypeptide.

Answer:

The sequence from least damaging to most damaging is silent, missense, frameshift, and nonsense mutation.

Explanation:

A silent mutation refers to a modification in the sequence of nucleotide bases that constitutes DNA, however, it does not result in a substantial change in the amino acid or in the function of the entire protein. In missense mutation, one DNA nucleotide gets switched out with another one in a manner, which modifies the specified amino acid.  

When a missense mutation takes place in the molecule of DNA, it changes one of the sequences of RNA codon produced at the time of transcription. A frameshift mutation refers to a specific kind of mutation, which comprise either deletion or insertion of the additional bases of DNA. Following the mutation, the entire sequence of DNA will be read incorrectly.  

A nonsense mutation refers to a genetic mutation in the sequence of DNA, which leads to the formation of the shorter or unfinished protein product. This mutation takes place when an undeveloped nonsense or stop codon gets presented in the sequence of DNA.  

Thus, the silent mutation is the least damaging as it does not exhibit any influence on the function or composition of the protein. While nonsense mutation shows the most damaging effect as it results in an abrupt termination peptide chain.

Breastfed infants typically are resistant to disease because of ________.
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Passice immunity

Explanation:

Breast milk, produced by female mammals (including humans), besides being rich in fat and protein is full of IgA. IgA is the immunoglobulin (immune system signal proteins) that is present in body secretions, such as milk.

The baby that is fed from the mother's breast ingests these defense proteins that allow it to tolerate different pathogens and toxins.  

It is considered passive immunity, as it does not generate memory and depends on a continuous dose to maintain defense levels.

Answer: the correct answer is a. 1, 3, 5, 6, 7  

Explanation:

acidosis.- acidosis occurs when the acid accumulates when bicarbonate (a base) is lost. Acidosis is classified as breathing acidosis and metabolic acidosis. The breathing acidosis occurs when there is too much carbon dioxide in the body.

Increased respiration.- breathing that is more rapid than normal. Tachypnea is defined as an elevated respiratory rate, or more simply. A normal respiratory rate can vary depending on age and activity but is usually between 12 and 20 breaths per minute for a resting adult.

Inappropriate (increased) ADH secretion causes an unrelenting increase in solute-free water ("free water") absorption by the kidneys, with two effects. First, in the extracellular fluid (ECF) space, there is a dilution of blood solutes, causing hypoosmolality, including a low sodium concentration - hyponatremia (term that is used when the level of sodium in the blood is too low).

Renin's primary function is therefore to eventually cause an increase in blood pressure, leading to restoration of perfusion pressure in the kidneys. Renin is secreted from juxtaglomerular kidney cells, which sense changes in renal perfusion pressure, via stretch receptors in the vascular walls.

Increased urine concentration may be due to different conditions, such as: Heart failure. Loss of body fluids (dehydration) from diarrhea or excessive sweating. Narrowing of the kidney artery (renal arterial stenosis).

Insects are an important biological resource because they: A. enrich the soil with nitrogen. B. help control weeds and insect pe
FrozenT [24]

Answer: Option B.

Help control weeds and insect pests.

Explanation:

Insect are the largest group of organisms on Earth. They belong to the phylum arthropoda and class insecta. They have hard exoskeleton, antenna, they have three pairs of legs and their body is divided into head, thorax and abdomen.

Insects are biological resources in that they help control weeds and insects pest.

The insects are use as weed control in that they feed on the weeds i.e they use the weeds as food there by absorbing the nutrients for weeds development, which lead to their inability to survival. Some canivorous insects feed on insects pest i.e use they as food, thereby reducing their harmful effects in the ecosystem.
