Oxitec created a male mosquito with a special gene that prevents female offspring from surviving to adulthood. The new males grow up, mate with more females and over time the number of Aedes Aegypti declines.

Nookie1986 [14]
An age-related change in the nervous system that can adversely affect nutritional status is decreased taste perception, hearing loss and vision loss. Aging refers to a multidimensional process in humans, the process of physical, and psychological, and social changes. As a population, older adults are more prone to age-related diseases, functional impairment, and physical inability that nay interfere with the maintenance of a good nutritional status.

Learning Competencies: 1. Explain how protein is made using information from DNA. 2. Explain how mutation may cause changes in t
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

1. protein synthesis or central dogma

2. leads to changes in the structure by changing in the codes which results in a decrease or loss of function.

Explanation:

1, Protein is made from the information coded in DNA base sequences by the two process protein synthesis that is also called central dogma. The two-process involve in this are transcription involves encoding the information present in DNA by mRNA molecule that codes the information in complementary sequence to DNA. which is then moved out of the nucleus and perform the translation with help of tRNA and ribosome to code the amino acid with help of triplet codes present in mRNA. These amino acids chain are called proteins.

2. Mutations can lead to change in the base sequences or deletion of the base which affects the structure of the protein and also leads to changes in an encoded protein or to a decrease or complete loss in its function or expression. Mutation can damage the cell or organism as it affects the gene expression of all cells of organisms.
