<span>A cell with a large surface area or with microvilli (which increase surface area) are specialized for absorption. Many cells have different protein markers on their surface to accept certain specific hormones and allow them into the cell, like muscle cells reacting to adrenaline. Muscle cells are long and able to contract, allowing for overall muscle contraction and body movement. </span>
<span>I guess the hormone part I mentioned applies to chemicals; endocrine cells produce hormones that other cells would not. </span>
<span>For organelles, muscle cells don't have many of the organelles that other cells do because of their very specialized functions. </span>
<span>I hope this helps, it would literally take volumes of text books to answer this question completely.</span>
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.
Aquatic ecosystems can be classified as freshwater and marine ecosystems.
Are caused by the tilt of the Earth's rotational axis away or toward the sun as it travels around the sun
