If a point mutation does not change the amino acid, it's called a SILENT mutation. If a point mutation changes the amino acid to a “stop,” it's called a NONSENSE mutation. Hope this helped :)
The answer is d. Water Cycle.
Answer: May occur in response to growth factors
Explanation:
Hyperplasia is increased cell production in a normal tissue or organ. Hyperplasia may be a sign of abnormal or precancerous changes. This is called pathologic hyperplasia.
Pathologic hyperplasia can occur in response to hormones and growth factors (for example in endometrial hyperplasia, the hyperplasia caused by excessive hormonal stimulation or growth factors acting on target. Thus, patients with hyperplasia of the endometrium are at increased risk for developing endometrial cancer.)
Hyperplasia is also an important response of connective tissue cells in wound healing, in which proliferating fibroblasts and blood vessels aid in repair.
Under normal circumstances, growth factors are responsible for the hyperplasia. Stimulation by growth factors is also involved in the hyperplasia that is associated with certain viral infections, such as papillomaviruses, which cause skin warts and several mucosal lesions composed of masses of hyperplastic epithelium.
Other important concepts to note:
Dysplasia refers to abnormal changes in the size, shape, and organization of mature cells. Compensatory hyperplasia enables organ regeneration and is a normal process: hyperplasia is not normal. Pathologic hyperplasia increases cell number. Hypertrophy is an increase in the size of cells and consequently in the size of the affected organ.
Answer:
Antibiotic Resistance
Explanation:
Antibiotic Resistance is when bacteria mutates or adapts to become resistant to antibiotics, wether by protecting the bacteria itself or limiting how the antibiotics can effect the body. This antibiotic Resistance can happen from using too many antibiotics, or using antibiotics but not having a high enough dose (so all the bacteria isn't killed). This can cause much more serious infections, like pneumonia and meningitis, to happen, and they can last longer, as they may not immediately respond to treatment. These can also spread to people who don't have a problem with antibiotic Resistance, but will get the antibiotic resistance bacteria which can mess with the other bacteria in their body, making them antibiotic resistant, which turns into a cycle of spreading bacteria and becoming resistant.
