Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Transcription and translation are the two proocesess involved in gene expression. These two processes are important because the end result is a PROTEIN responsible for the phenotypic characteristics of that organism. Transcription involves synthesis of mRNA from DNA while translation involves synthesis of protein from mRNA.

In this question, an antibiotics called Puromycin forces the ribosome to detach from the mRNA chain before reaching the stop codon. This means that the antibiotics "Puromycin" abruptly truncates the translation process. Hence, proteins will not be produced. This means that the organism (bacteria) will not be functionally active because of lack of necessary PROTEINS.

Which statement correctly describes one way that the properties of water affect heat and temperature? Water retains more heat th
Sphinxa [80]
I believe the correct statement is that Water absorbs heat when it changes to vapor, helping to keep animals cool through perspiration. Water has a high heat of vaporization, the amount of energy needed to change one gram of a liquid substance to gas at constant temperature. In humans and other organisms, the evaporation of sweat, which is 90% water, cools the body to maintain a steady temperature.

What causes hyponatremia?
baherus [9]

<u>Excessive drinking of water</u> causes hyponatremia.

Hyponatremia is an elementary medical condition that is caused by drinking excessive water. If the concentration of sodium falls below 136 mEq/L, this results in hyponatremia.

Drinking too much water dilutes the sodium in the human body and this results in a high level of water in the body. When the water level rises, cells become enlarged and swollen.

The swelling cells can have harmful impacts on your health by exerting pressure and damaging cell membranes.

Other common causes include diarrhea, liver disease, renal disease, and heart failure. This condition can be cured by taking an IV sodium fluid to raise the degree of sodium.
