<u>Substituion mutation</u> is responsible for small changes in a trait.

Explanation:

This kind of mutation merely changes the type of nucleotide in the DNA sequence. The mutation does not cause a frameshift as would a deletion of addition mutation.

A substitution mutation would at worst change an amino acid in the translated protein. This would likely have a slight effect on how the protein folds into an active protein. On the other hand, mutations that cause frameshifts have the biggest effect on the proteins. They change all the amino acids of a protein downstream of the point of mutation.

For the answer to the question above, <span>Blurred Vision

A severe headache, visual disturbances such as blurred vision and some epigastric pain that is associated with the development of severe pre-eclampsia or eclampsia. These danger signs and symptoms must be reported immediately as soon as possible. A severe headache and visual disturbances are related to severe vasoconstriction and in a severe increase in blood pressure. Epigastric pain is related to hepatic dysfunction. Ankle edema is a common thing during the third trimester of pregnancy. However, the facial edema is associated with increased fluid retention and the progression from mild to severe pre-eclampsia. Increased energy levels aren't associated with a progression of the client's pre-eclampsia or the development of the complications. In fact, some women are reporting an "energy spurt" before the onset of labor. A mild back-ache is just a common discomfort of pregnancy, unrelated to a progression of the client's pre-eclampsia. It also may be associated with bed rest when the mattress is not firm. Some multi-parous women have reported a mild backache as a sign of impending labor.</span>

An age pyramid with a broad base that quickly slopes up to a narrow top would be indicative of ________.

kiruha [24]

Answer:

A. a developing nation

Explanation:

Age pyramids are the age structure diagrams that represent the number and proportion of people at each age in a population. The base of the age pyramids represents the population in pre-reproductive age which is from 0 to 10 years. The overall shape of an age pyramid indicates if the population is increasing, stationary, or shrinking.

The age structure diagram for a developing nation has a broad base that tapers quickly towards the top. This means that a larger percentage of the population is in the pre-reproductive age group and reproductive age group with a smaller percentage of the population in the post-reproductive age. These countries have a great chance of future population growth.
