Answer:
A) areolar tissue soaks up excess fluid in an inflamed area
Explanation:
Areolar tissue is found around blood vessels, muscles, nerve bundles. Edema which is also a part of inflammation occurs when blood capillaries of blood vessels leak the fluid and is soaked by areolar tissue. So excess fluid in these tissue cause swelling of that part.
Edema is one type of defense reaction to the cell injury. With fluid white blood cells and defense proteins move in the area and counter the infectious agent of injury and helps in eliminating the injurious factor. So the correct answer is A.
Answer:
A frameshift changes every codon past it. A base substitution only changes one codon.
Explanation:
DNA is comprised of nucleotides (A, C, T, G) that make up amino acids. Every three bases is called a codon and represents an amino acid.
In a frameshift mutation, a nucleotide is either added or deleted from the sequence. This offsets the entire sequence after it because the reading frame shifts. Here's an example:
ACTGCTATCGTCATC
If another T is added in between the first and second codons, then every codon after will be changed.
ACT>T<GCTATCGTCATC
A substitution mutation is usually less severe, as it only alters one codon in the sequence. These occur when one nucleotide is replaced by another one. Here's an example:
ACTGCTATCGTCATC
Let's say the first G is replaced by a T.
ACT>T<CTATCGTCATC
As you can see, none of the other codons changed.
Typically, a frameshift mutation is considered worse than a substitution mutation.
Chickens have 78 chromosomes.
Answer:
C. An organism must copy its DNA to pass genetic information to its offspring
Explanation:
Without the copying of the DNA life would not continue as existing organisms would not be able to reproduce and replace themselves.
