Answer:

Nonsense mutation: it causes a premature stop codon, so the protein cannot be fully synthesized.

Missense mutation: it causes change on the aminoacid encoded, so it can cause a change in the protein structure if the new aminoacid doesn't have the same chemichal properties as the original.

Synonymous (silent) mutation: it causes no change, the same aminoacid is encoded.

Single nucleotide insertion or deletion: changes the entire structure of the protein because it shifts the reading frame.

Three nucleotide deletion: one aminoacid will no longer be part of the protein, if this aminoacid was located, for example, on the active site of an enzyme, the protein could lose its function.

Chromosomal translocation: it can break a gene in two, causing the protein to no longer be able to be synthesized, or it can change the transcription regulation because it is now under the effect of other regulating sites that result in a different transcription pattern.

The first place that the reabsorption of water is not automatically coupled to the reabsorption of filtered solutes occurs in th
Alina [70]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The correct answer is false because Reabsorption of water and other filtered solutes like vitamins, sodium e.t.c. take place in the proximal convoluted tubules.

Reabsorption is when water and solutes in the PCT are removed and moved back into the blood and it's a process that take place through bulk transport.

The solutes and water are transported from the PCT to the interstitium and then move into peri-tubular capillaries and reabsorption in PCT is isosmotic i.e solutes have the same osmotic pressure.
