Answer:

No, they do not all cause a change in amino acid sequence of a protein.

Explanation:

Substitution mutation is the type of mutation that results when the nucleotide base of a gene is replaced by another base in the sequence. A substitution mutation can result into three different types of mutation namely; silent mutation, missense mutation, and nonsense mutation.

- In silent mutation, the nucleotide base that gets replaced by another still forms a codon that encodes the same amino acid as in the original sequence. e.g if guanine replaces adenine in the sequence, TTA to form a mutated sequence, TTG. This mutated codon (TTG) still encodes LEUCINE amino acid just as TTA does. Hence, there is no effect on the resulting amino acid sequence. This portrays that NOT ALL SUBSTITUTIONS cause a change in amino acid sequence of a protein.

List these events in the correct order for CSF flow in the CNS. a: CSF flows into the arachnoid villi b: CSF enters the blood c:

alex41 [277]

Answer:

E-----> C------>D------->A------->B

Explanation:

The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is the fluid of the central nervous system. It allows for buoyancy as the brain is immersed in the fluid, protection, excretion of waste products from the brain and many more. The production of CSF is by the CHORIOD PLEXUS in the lateral, third and fourth ventricles. The CSF flows through the interventricular foramen from the lateral to the third ventricle and from the third ventricle into the fourth ventricle through the cerebral aqueduct which connects them. The CSF then flows into the subarachnoid space. Absorption of CSF into the blood is by the arachnoid villi and then the CSF enters the blood.

Neurotransmitters are ________. Group of answer choices chemicals that cross the synaptic gap and bind to receptors on another n

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

chemicals that cross the synaptic gap and bind to receptors on another neuron

found only in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord)

Explanation:

Neurotransmitters are defined as the chemicals that is transported from a nerve cell across the synaptic gap to the receptor of another neuron or a target cell such as a gland cell or a muscle cell.

Neurotransmitters are generated in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and are stored in synaptic vesicles.

"Hence, the correct answer is:

chemicals that cross the synaptic gap and bind to receptors on another neuron

found only in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord)".
