Answer:

The foot

Explanation:

Mollusks have bilateral symmetry and are coelomed protostomes, but the coelom is only represented by small residual spaces around the pericardial cavity, the gonads, some parts of the nephridia, and in some cases part of the intestine. The foot is used primarily as a means of movement. The foot is also a very important structure, although it has adapted differently depending on the classes of mollusks. It is characterized by having a really powerful and complex musculature. The most widespread use of this organ is that of locomotion, as happens with gastropods. However, in bivalves it serves to burrow or in cephalopods it helps to provide propulsion.

Suppose a point mutation, such as a change from an adenine to a guanine, occurs in the genome of a human sperm cell. The mutatio

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

B. The mutation results in a new, dominant allele

C. The mutation occurs in a gene that controls development and alters differentiation of a cell type during development.

D. The mutation occurs in a codon and alters the function of the final protein

Explanation:

All the above things will change the <u>ultimate expression</u> or phenotype by altering the proteins. Choices B, C, and D will all change the outer functioning.

Choice A only affects the rate of transcription, so it may go faster or slower, but the end product will be the same.

This part that doesn't look like it's one of the choices ("The mutation occurs in a portion of an intron not responsible for exon splicing.") would not affect phenotype, because introns are removed before the RNA is sent out.

Choice E says that the amino acid sequence is unchanged, meaning the protein final product will be the same and the expression will not change.

Cigarette smoke contains carbon monoxide. Explain how this

Olegator [25]

Answer: Carbon Monoxide is a very harmful and toxic gas which is formed from incomplete combustion of carbon.

Explanation: red blood cells contain haemoglobin ,which are responsible for carrying oxygen into our body system. So oxygen combines with haemagoblin to form oxyhaemogoblin in the red blood cells .

so if a person starts to intake cigarettes which contain high amounts of carbon monoxide ,it reduces oxyhaemogoblin formation because it binds very tightly to the haemogoblin .then carboxyhaemogoblin is formed and its permanent so causing reduction in aerobic respiration, and reduction in oxygen transport and causing damages to heart muscles.

Hope this helps if you need any more explanation feel free to comment in the comment section below !!!
