The answer is <span>C.silent.

Nonsense, missense, silent, and frameshift mutations are point mutations. The point mutations are the change in a single nucleotide base on the DNA molecule. In a missense mutation, the change in a single nucleotide base results in a codon coding for a different amino acid. In a nonsense mutation, the change in a single nucleotide results in a stop codon or in a nonsense codon. Frameshift mutation, due to addition or deletion of a base, results in the change of reading frame and totally different translation. In all these cases, the change could lead to different of nonfunctional protein translation.
Silent mutation, on the other, means that change in a nucleotide base will no affect amino acid. It will result in a different codon, but the one that code for the same amino acid, so the same protein will be produced.

Which statement accurately describes the inner planets?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The inner planets are small, so they orbit the sun in close proximity to it.

Explanation:

The Inner Planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Geographically speaking, this is because they're closer to the Sun than the Outer Planets. The Inner Planets will also be hotter than the Outer Planets because all of them have a single solid surface in direct contact with their star.

Confusion arises when people try to coordinate spectral type for evidence for geologic activity - since stratified atmospheres like Earth's protect us from about 97% of solar radiation it's hard to quantify thermal conditions really accurately - but if you measure planetary albedo (how much sunlight isn't reflected away) you can get an approximation.

How do the digestive and excretory system work together to maintain homeostasis?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

After nutrients are absorbed during digestion, the excretory system removes solid waste products, or feces, through the rectum. The excretory system also works with the respiratory and circulatory systems and removes carbon dioxide from the body

How are the products of photosynthesis useful to the plant itself
blsea [12.9K]
Because, it is the process by which they make or produce their food with the help of sunlight, water and carbon dioxide.

If photsynthesis is not there then there would be no production of food and ultimatley plants will die.
