Many different types of mutations can occur within the body. Sickle cell anemia is a disease that occurs when a mutation in the

base pair of the hemoglobin beta gene causes a single replacement of the amino acid glutamic acid by the amino acid valin. As a result of this mutation the individual’s blood cells take on a sickle shape under certain conditions Which type of mutation causes sickle cell anemia

Answer:

POINT MUTATION (SUBSTITUTION)

Explanation:

A point mutation is that mutation which involves only one nucleotide base. Point mutation can, however, occur in different ways such as SUBSTITUTION. Substitution point mutation is that which involves the replacement of a single nucleotide base by another in a gene sequence.

This is the case in this question regarding the mutation that causes sickle cell anaemia. According to this question, Sickle cell anemia is a disease that occurs when a mutation in the base pair of the hemoglobin beta gene causes a SINGLE replacement of GLUTAMIC ACID (Glu) by VALINE (Val). This shows that it is a type of SUBSTITUTION POINT MUTATION.

The two most abundant elements in the oceans are sodium and chlorine. Together they make a salt, halite. Sodium is dissolved in
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Volcanic gases. (Ans A)

Explanation:

Ocean water is salty because of the presence of dissolved salt. When water contact with a rock it starts weathering processes and this process starts to dissolve the soluble elements such as sodium out of the rock.

In volcanic gases, lots of chlorine ions are present in the atmosphere, these ions easily dissolve with water and produce the large flux of chloride that splashes into the oceans. So, the most common source of chloride ions in ocean waters comes from the volcanic explosions.

2a) Which of the following statements about pyruvate oxidation IS TRUE?
Darina [25.2K]

The true statements are:

  • Substrate level phosphorylation ocvurs during Pyruvate oxidation
  • 32 ATP molecules can be made by cellular respiration but only 2 ATP molecules when oxygen is lacking
  • Electrons move from protein to protein due to increasing electronegativity in the electron transport chain
  • ADP is phosphorylated in the matrix of the mitochondria during oxidative phosphorylation
  • ATP inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase by feedback inhibition

<h3>What is glucose oxidation?</h3>

Glucose oxidation refers to the process in the cells in which glucose molecules are oxidized to form ATP and carbon dioxide in the presence of oxygen.

The first stage of glucose oxidation is the conversion to pyruvate.

Pyruvate is oxidized to acetylCoA.

AcetylCoA enters the citric acid cycle to produce reducing equivalents, NADH for the electron transport chain.

  • The true statements about pyruvate oxidation is that there is substrate level phosphorylation during the process
  • When there is sufficient oxygen, 36 ATP molecules can be made (theoretically) by cellular respiration. However, when oxygen is lacking, only 2 ATP molecules are made.
  • In the electron transport chain of cellular respiration, electrons move from protein to protein due to increasing electronegativity
  • During oxidative phosphorylation, ADP is phosphorylated in the matrix of the mitochondria
  • Aerobic respiration can be regulated by feedback inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase by ATP.

Anole lizards mainly eat small insects. Suppose an anole lizard saw a bright red butterfly and ate it, but was ill afterwards. F
Phoenix [80]

The answer is D. learned behavior.

A change in behavior of an organism takes place due an experience is called learning. Animals learn behavior in many ways. On such way is given the question that anole lizard ate bright red butterfly instead small insects which are its normal food and became ill. Anole lizard learned through experience that bright red insects are not its food. Thus, a learned behavior is one that an organism develops by encountering experience.
