Answer:

This could result in a mutation.

Explanation:

A change in the DNA can affect the work of cells because it can cause a mutation; it can be a good mutation or bad. The three main mutations that occur are Insertion, Deletion and Substitution. Insertion is when DNA base(s) are added in, Deletion is when DNA base(s) are removed. Lastly, Substitution is when DNA base(s) are switched on. All of these mutations can have effects. These effects are Silent effect, Missence, and Nonsense. Silent effect is a mutation that does not change the sequence of amino acids in a protein. Missence is a mutation that causes the sequence of amino acids to change. This can cause incorrect protein folding and protein malfunction. Nonsense is a mutation that causes an early stop codon. This effect leads to a protein that is too small. Also a Frameshift can occur. Framshift is when the reading of a frameshift is moved over by one or more bases such that every subsequent amino acid changes. An example of a frameshift is THE CAT ATE THE RAT. If you insert an A at the Beginning this happens ATH ECA TAT ETH ERA T. IN Conclusion there are two Mutations that also play a role in this Point Mutation and Chromosomal Mutaion. Point Mutation is when a single DNA base is either substituted, inserted or deleted from the sequence. Chromocomal Mutation is when large pieces of a chromosome or an entire chromosome is either substituted, inserted or deleted.

Consider cyclohexane. which position, equatorial or axial, can accommodate large groups with less steric hindrance
Serhud [2]

The correct answer is Axial Position

Reason:

When axial groups lie on the opposite sides of the ring, they are capable of holding large molecule and are stable as there is less steric hindrance between those groups. Also the molecular distance between them is large.

A patient suffers from a chronic illness. the nurse recognizes which characteristics of a chronic illness? select all that apply
Taya2010 [7]
1, 3, 5
<span>The characteristic of a chronic illness is that it leaves a patient with a permanent disability which can be physical or mental. This disability affects the day-to-day life activities of the patient, preventing the patient from performing activities of daily life. The patient may need family support for performing daily activities. In an acute illness, the patient returns to a fully functional life after treatment; in chronic illness the patient may not be able to resume a normal life. The treatment is more effective in acute illness; patients with chronic illnesses are less likely to respond to treatments in later stages.</span>
