Answer:

The type of mutation responsible for changing a base in the mRNA strand, without changing the coding aminoacid or protein, is called a <u>silent</u> mutation.

Explanation:

In a silent mutation occurs the change of a nitrogenous base in one of the codons that encodes an aminoacid, without changing the aminoacid or altering the structure or function of the protein to be synthesized.

In this type of mutations the change of the base does not mean the change of the aminoacid, because some aminoacids can be coded with more than one codon. In the case of Leucine, the codons that encode it are CUU, CUC, CUG or CUA, so even if a base changes, the final protein will be the correct one.

For the other options:

  • <u><em>Missense</em></u><em>: the change of the base in the DNA chain implies the change of the codon in the mRNA and of the encoded aminoacid, in that way a structural and functional alteration of the synthesized protein occurs. </em>
  • <u><em>Nonsense</em></u><em>: the change in the nitrogenous base in the DNA leads to the coding of a termination codon, so that the protein is ultimately incomplete.</em>
  • <u><em>Insertion</em></u><em>: in this case there is the addition of more nitrogenous bases to the DNA chain, with respect to the original one.</em>

Elanso [62]

Answer:paracrine

Explanation:glands are specialized tissues that secrete specific chemicals substances.these substances may be enzymes,hormones or lubricating fluid.glands secretes their their products through several mechanisms.some involve the use of ducts ,while others do not.

In paracrine secretion,the secretory products reach their target cells by diffusion through the extracellular space or adjacent connective tissue.

Paracrine secretion do not use ducts.

Similar to paracrine is the endocrine ,in which the secretory products goes through the basal lamina ,into the underlying connective tissue and into the vascular syatem.they too do not use ducts

If the producers were removed then there would be no beginning to the food chain and the complete ecosystem would die off.
