Answer:

Dehydration

Explanation:

What causes bacteria to die in an extremely salty environment is dehydration due to the loss of osmotic balance in their cells.

Water molecules would normally move from the region of high water potential or low solute concentration to the region of low water potential or high solute concentration through a biologically permeable membrane.

<em>An extremely salty environment would be hypertonic to the cells of bacteria and the cell walls of bacteria act as biologically permeable membranes. Hence, the bacteria cells lose water due to the osmotic movement of water from their cells to the surrounding salty environment. </em>

Answer:

Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is defined as a disorder caused by a mitochondrial mutation that affects the visual and heart cells.

A  defective mitochondria is the primary cause of the LHON because it causes mtDNA is involved in the encoding of ubiquinone oxidoreductase         (subunits of NADH) that is the first complex of the electron transport chain. So, any defect or mutation in mtDNA causes neuronal defects.

<u>Mitochondrial defect due to mutation in amino acid exchanges in ubiquinone oxidoreductase affects optic nerves causing loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons that leads to vison loss.</u>

<u>Mitochondrial biogenesis is the process in which mitochondrial ATP produced, and ATP transfer to heart and defect in mitochondrial biogenesis causes defect in heart cells.</u>

Answer:

Substitution mutation is a type of mutation which is responsible for sickle cell anemia disease.

Explanation:

Substitution mutation is also called point mutation. In sickle cell anemia, glutamic acid is converted into a valine acid which is the main cause of sickle cell anemia formation. In this mutation, the shape of oxygen carrying cell i. e. hemoglobin changes into a sickle type. This sickle shape of the cell prevents the flow of blood in the capillaries.
