The correct answer should be <span>d. hypertrophic obesity</span>
However, a more correct answer would be a combination of C and D because the hypertrophic type is when obesity occurs due to an increase in the size while hyperplastic is when their number increases. Since it's only mentioned here as hyperplasia, only hypertrophic should be the answer.

Answer:

Option B and D

Explanation:

In case of hyper cellular obesity, the total number of fat cell increases and is mainly found in people whose BMI <40 kg/m2. This mainly occurs in people who gain weight during early childhood or adolescent age and thus it is highly variable as compared to any other obesity type.

While in case of hypertrophic obesity, the size of existing fat cell increases.  

Hence, both option B and D would be the correct answer

Generally speaking, which of the following mutations would most severely affect the protein coded for by a gene?a) a base substi
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Answer is C.

Explanation:

For A and B, a base substitution affects one of the three bases that comprise a codon, the DNA/RNA unit that corresponds to a particular amino acid. If one base is substituted, one codon and therefore one amino acid will be affected. Codons have built-in redundancy, so even by changing one base, the new codon sometimes still corresponds to the same amino acid. Therefore, a base substitution at most affects one amino acid, and sometimes doesn't affect it all.

Frameshift mutations cause a lot more trouble. These occur when you have a deletion or insertion that changes the number of bases in your gene. As a result, the "frame" of the codons changes (everything shifts one way or the other by the number of bases added/removed). This affects EVERY codon downstream of the mutation, so you can imagine that such a mutation would have a bigger effect the closer to the start of the gene it occurs. This is why C is correct.

What is the difference between static and current electricity? give an example of each
Alenkasestr [34]
Static Electricity - the word static means 'at rest' - this kind of electricity exists when objects separated by an insulator has a build up of opposite charges. Because the attraction between these charges is so strong, they can flow even through great insulators. Ex: lightning, friction

Current Electricity - it makes electronic devices possible. There is a constant flow of charges in this type of electricity. In contrast to static electricity, current electricity is changing, dynamic and always on the move. Ex: starting a car, watching TV, using an electric stove.
