<span>The mRNA is made by using the gene AAACAGGTCCCA as a template for complementary base-pairing. The pairings are: G (Guanine) to C (Cytosine), C to G, T (Thymine) to A (Adenine), and A to U (Uracil, as Tyhmine doesn't occur in the RNA). The resulting mRNA is UUUGUCCAGGGU.</span>

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
Myxedematous coma
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- Myxedema coma is a severe hypothyroidism leading to decreased mental status, hypothermia, and other symptoms related to slowing of function in multiple organs.
- it is a loss of brain function as a result of severe, longstanding low level of thyroid hormone in the blood.
- It is a rare life threatening complication of hypothyroidism.
The ability of an organism to maintain internal conditions is called <em>C homeostasis </em>
The principal function of thyroxine is to stimulate the consumption of oxygen and thus the metabolism of all cells and tissues.
Thyroxine is termed T4. It travels through the blood to the target cells and becomes converted to triiodothyronine or T3.
T3 is the active form of thyroxine. T3 enters the target cell's nucleus binding to genes responsible or involved in the metabolism of sugar in the body. T3 stimulates these genes and in so doing metabolism (conversion of oxygen and calories to energy) is carried out by the cell, which also results in generation of body heat.
