A mutation that involves one or a few nucleotides is called
a) mutagen
b) inversion
c) point mutation
d) translocation
Answer:
c) point mutation
Explanation:
When only one or a few nucleotides of a gene are changed by mutation, this is called a point mutation. A point mutation can add one additional nucleotide to the wild type gene or may delete or substitute a nucleotide from it. For example, if a wild type gene sequence is "ATATATATA", then the addition of "C" at the position 4 will change it into "ATACTATATA". This addition of new nucleotide is called point mutation since only one nucleotide is added to the gene. Point mutations can cause serious genetic disorders such as sickle cell anemia.

B. Mesopela: the transmissive barrier through which two cell layers interact in the structure of the coral body
Answer: Transcription factors
Explanation:
The dioxin enters the blood stream and the fat cells and liver cells store it.
While moving inside the cell the dioxin binds to the protein called Aryl hydrocarbon which then binds to the second receptor.
The complex is then carried to the nucleus of the cell. This tends to on and off certain genes.
This turning on and off of the genes in the cell can lead to serious diseases like cancer, decreased immune function, et cetera.
