Answer: Mutation

Explanation: Mutation is a permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of a DNA. This change occurs during replication where one or more base pairs is either substituted, inserted or deleted in the nucleotide sequence of a DNA. These alterations in the DNA sequence produce permanent changes in the genetic information encoded in the DNA. Substitution mutation occurs when one or more base pairs are replaced by another. Insertion mutation occurs when one or more base pairs are added in a nucleotide sequence while deletion mutation occurs when one or more base pairs are removed from a DNA sequence. When these mutations are not adequately repaired by the DNA repair system, these will lead to production of an RNA with an altered nucleotide sequence and will result in the production of a protein with an altered amino acid sequence. The alteration in the amino acid sequence of the protein will result in loss of or altered function of the protein and will ultimately lead to the expression of a different trait in the organism.

Igoryamba

Answer:

Reduced risk of neural tube defects- diet adequate in synthetic form of folate
Reduced risk of hypertension and stroke- diet low in sodium and high in potassium
Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease- fatty acids from oils present in fish
Reduced risk of some types of cancer- diet rich in fiber

Explanation:

As you may already know, the adequate intake of certain nutrients is very beneficial to our body and to improve and maintain our health. That's because these nutrients act in the construction of essential molecules to keep our body functioning in a healthy and adequate way. Among the numerous nutrients necessary for our health, we can mention that the adequate intake of folate has the ability to reduce the creation of possible defects in the neural tube, while a diet rich in potassium can reduce the risks of hypertension, especially if accompanied by a low sodium diet. Following this same reasoning, a diet rich in fiber can reduce the risk of cancer, in addition to promoting good bowel function. Last but not least, a diet rich in fatty acids from fish can reduce cardiovascular disease.

katrin2010 [14]

1) Mutations are caused by changes in nucleotide bases. these altered base formed different amino acid depending upon nucleotide base sequence that code specific amino acid. ... even though some mutations, can have a more effect on amino acid coding, which can affect what kind of proteins are produced.

During which phase of mitosis does the nuclear envelope re-form?

LiRa [457]

Answer:

In which phase of mitosis do chromosomes align at the center and spindle fibers become visible? Explanation: Mitosis involves four distinct stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Prophase is the first step of mitosis, during which chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope dissolves.
