Mutated codons code for what in silent mutations?

Biology
1 answer:
Marina86 [1]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Code for the same amino acid as the original codon

Explanation:

Mutation, which is any alteration in the nucleotide sequence of a gene, can occur when there is a replacement of base nucleotides. This is called SUBSTITUTION MUTATION. Substitution mutation can either lead to missense, nonsense or silent mutations.

As stated in this question, SILENT mutation is the one in which there is no change in the amino acid sequence after translation of the mutated mRNA. In other words, the mutation leads to an alteration of codon but the MUTATED CODONS CODE FOR THE SAME AMINO ACID as the original codon, hence, no effect on the protein produced or individual, in general.

Which combination of arterial blood gas (ABG) values confirms respiratory acidosis if a male client with Guillain-Barré syndrome
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

D) pH, 7.25; PaCO2 50 mm Hg

Explanation:

For respiratory acidosis confirmation by arterial blood gas values, there should be:

  • pH value less than 7.35 <em>(it indicates the acidosis in body but there may be multiple sources of acidosis). </em>
  • Partial carbon dioxide pressure greater than 45 mmHg<em> (it indicates that the acidosis source is respiratory)</em>

Therefore a person with values (pH, 7.25; PaCO2 50 mm Hg) would express respiratory acidosis.

The value (pH, 5.0; PaCO2 30 mm Hg) indicates the respiratory alkalosis condition.
