Answer:

C. Primary, secondary, and tertiary structures would be altered

Explanation:

Frameshift mutations refer to the mutations that change the reading frame of the gene. Frameshift mutations are mostly caused by insertion or deletion of nucleotide since addition or loss of nucleotide alters all the codons present downstream of the point of the mutation site. If frameshift mutation occurs at the beginning of the protein sequence, all the downstream amino acids would be altered.

The changed amino acid sequence would alter the primary structure of the protein. Since the secondary and tertiary structure of proteins is determined by interactions between the R groups of amino acids, their polarity, charge, etc., the altered amino acid sequence would also alter secondary, and tertiary of the protein.

Describe how lung volume affects pressure and therefore air movement.
gtnhenbr [62]
Lung volume varies from larger to smaller. People with smaller lung volumes have slightly smaller lung capacity with the partial pressure of oxygen being lower as well; while people with larger lung volumes have increased capacity of processing air. In terms of air movement, larger lung volume can contain and established more control of air getting inside and outside the lungs compared to smaller lung volume.

4) Discuss how our lives on Earth are directly related to our relationship and positioning with the Sun in our Solar System.
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:the relationship with the sun and the solar system is the same relationship to all physical bodies in which we are living at a speed governed by our perception at our vantage point in relation to how much gravity is acting upon us. Example: Say you were to fall into a black hole. At the point of no return at the event horizon your time would begin to slow down as seen from an outsider watching you fall. This will occur until to that observer sees you stop entirely in time. You however fall faster as faster but for ever. Till time is over. So all things are relative to each other in only one absolute way. Gravity control observed time.
