Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of the chart referred to in the question. However, what appears to be the case is that the three nitrogenous bases represent codons (and the missing chart is the codon chart). The mutation that has the potential to cause more damage will be the one that would change the amino acid formed from the codon change.

A. CAU to CAC: The codons CAU and CAC both form the amino acid histidine and thus is not expected to cause a major damage.

B. UGU to UGC: The codons UGU and UGC both form the amino acid cysteine and thus is not expected to cause a major damage.

C. UCU to UUU: <u>Codon UCU forms the amino acid serine while the codon UUU forms the amino acid phenylalanine</u>. Thus, this eventual change in the amino acid formed has the potential to cause a major damage and thus option C is the correct option.

NOTE that a codon is a sequence of three DNA/RNA nucleotides that corresponds to a single amino acid.

Answer:

The fix nitrogen into free nitrogen which is a usable form. They also bring nitrogen back into the system by decomposing dead organisms.




Answer 2. 

Because, they are known as nitrogen fixing bacteria. These organisms convert nitrogen in the soil to ammonia, which can then be taken up by plants. After nitrogen has been fixed, other bacteria convert it into nitrate, in a process known as nitrification.

vichka [17]

Answer:

D. Fibrocartilage

Explanation:

In order to understand the question, we need to review the structure of intervertebral discs.

Intervertebral discs consist of two parts:

  • <u>NUCLEUS PULPOSUS:</u>

It forms the central part of the intervertebral disc and consists of mucoid substance.

  • <u>ANNULUS FIBROSUS:</u>

It is composed of encircling layers of fibrocartilage and fibrous tissue surrounding the nucleus pulposus

<u>SLIPPED DISC:</u>

It is characterized by the protrusion of nucleus pulposus through the annulus fibrosus accompanied by the compression of spinal nerves.

Patient may present with loss of sensory sensations or pain or both.

<u>CORRECT ANSWER:</u>

From the above review, the correct answer is <u>D. fibrocartilage</u> as it forms the annulus fibrosus.

Symptoms of uric acid.​
irina [24]

Answer:

Elevated uric acid levels lead to a condition known as "Hyperuricemia."

Explanation:

This condition occurs when there is an excessive presence of uric acid in the blood. It can be divided into:

  • Primary hyperuricemia
  • Secondary hyperuricemia

Primary hyperuricemia occurs when the kidneys are not able to eliminate uric acid in an efficient/proper way. This can be due to the consumption of foos that are very high in purines. For example, liver, gravy, alcoholic beverages, and some vegetables such as spinach and asparagus.

Secondary hyperuricemia may occur to several possible reasons. For instance, kidney disease, in which the kidney is not able to eliminate uric acid; chemotherapy, which may lead to the accumulation of uric acids; or medications that increase the level of uric acid in the blood.

Symptoms include:

  • Fever.
  • Extreme and abnormal fatigue.
  • Joint inflammation.
  • Urination problems.
  • Kidney stones.

To prevent this disease and as part of a treatment (along with medications prescribed by a doctor), a patient should opt to consume foods that are low in purine, such as lettuce, tomatoes, cereals, fruits, milk, eggs, amongst others.
