Somatic mutation, genetic alteration acquired by a cell that can be passed to the progeny of the mutated cell in the course of cell division. Somatic mutations differ from germ line mutations, which are inherited genetic alterations that occur in the germ cells (i.e., sperm and eggs).

Mutation can be defined as the permanent alteration in the DNA sequence that builds up the gene.Mutation can be inherited when they are acquired by the offspring from their parents.Such mutation are called germ line mutations because they occur in germ cells-sperm and egg.These mutations are present in almost all cells since it is passed on from parents to offspring.

Maggie's training regimen may put her at risk to develop secondary amenorrhea. While amenorrhea is the absence of menstruation, secondary amenorrhea is the absence of the menstrual cycle in females who have started menstruating (having had at least one cycle) and then stop menstruating for a period longer than three months. Secondary amenorrhea occurs in times of extreme stress or weight loss (such as anorexia). Female soldiers have experienced secondary amenorrhea when they have gone to war or have become prisoners of war. Hormone shots, extreme weight gain, birth control, and certain medications also cause the condition.

What structure brings tRNA and mRNA together

tester [92]

Translation requires some specialized equipment. Just as you wouldn't go to play tennis without your racket and ball, so a cell couldn't translate an mRNA into a protein without two pieces of molecular gear: ribosomes and tRNAs.Ribosomes provide a structure in which translation can take place. They also catalyze the reaction that links amino acids to make a new protein.tRNAs (transfer RNAs) carry amino acids to the ribosome. They act as "bridges," matching a codon in an mRNA with the amino acid it codes for.Here, we’ll take a closer look at ribosomes and tRNAs. If you're not yet familiar with RNA (which stands for ribonucleic acid), I highly recommend checking out the nucleic acids section first so you can get the most out of this article!Ribosomes: Where the translation happensTranslation takes place inside structures called ribosomes, which are made of RNA and protein. Ribosomes organize translation and catalyze the reaction that joins amino acids to make a protein chain.

It is a scientific law
Explanation:
A scientific law states a constant relationship between two or more variables, each of which represents a property or measurement of specific systems. It is a constant and unchanging rule, usually expressed mathematically which allows to predict the unknown based on what is known with logical and real relationships.
A scientific theory is a set of concepts and rules (scientific laws) that express the relationships between observations of such concepts and generates a principle or set of principles to explain a phenomenon.

Could somebody tell me 4 facts about why deforestation is a bad thing? It would be awesome if it were in paragraph form. Thank y

velikii [3]

Deforestation is a bad thing because it takes away homes from animals. It also ruins the earth. Trees and plants are important to the earth and we need them. They are used for food. Not only for us but for animals. They keep the air clean.
