How can several different mutations cause the same genetic disease?

1 answer:

8 0

Several different mutations can cause the same genetic disease when we consider that the actual position of the mutation in the gene may vary but still result in a defective gene. For example, there are many mutations that can lead to cystic fibrosis. We can count up to more than one thousand different mutations that can lead to the same sickness. If chromosomes are affected while they are developing you can expect genetic diseases.

2. Complete the paragraph on freshwater ecosystems by using the following terms: merge, mountain streams, oxygen, plankton, plan

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Rivers often start from the mountain streams and contain high amounts of oxygen. Rivers and streams grow larger as these waters merge. Rivers pick up sediments from the land as they flow. Lakes support many varieties of organisms, including plants in shallow, open water and wetlands. In shallow water near shore, plankton is covered in water all or some of the time and are found along the edge of lakes and the floodplains of rivers. A deer is nibbling moss on rocks beside a river. Rivers are a major source of water for a variety of animals and plants.

Keywords

Mountain streams
Oxygen
Merge
Sediments
Plants
Wetlands
Plankton

Explanation:

Freshwater ecosystems are of great importance for the diversity of plants and animals; they are also of the utmost importance for people as they are used in various ways. There are differences between freshwater ecosystems and marine ecosystems; the latter cantains a large number of salts, while the freshwater ecosystem does not provide.

Freshwater ecosystems are made up of rivers, lakes, streams, among others.

Which of the following best represents a function of a lipid within an organism? O Lipids are components of cell membranes All t

Rashid [163]

Answer:

The statement that best represents a function of lipids within an organism is that they are components of cell membranes.

Explanation:

Lipids are biomolecules formed by the binding of fatty acids, important for structure, compound synthesis and energy reserve.

In living beings, one of the most important functions of lipids is to be the main component of cell membranes.

Specifically, phospholipids associate to form a double layer, called lipid bilayer, capable of acting as a semi-permeable membrane, due to its non-polar or hydrophobic character. In this way, membrane lipids fulfill a structural and protective function of the cell and its contents.

Regarding the other options:

Proteins are made up of amino acids, not lipids.
Lipids are not constituents of the DNA structure.
