Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The synthesis phase of the interphase of the cell cycle is characterized by the <u>replication of DNA in the nucleus</u> and the <u>duplication of the centrosome in the cytoplasm.</u>

<em>At the synthesis phase, the amount of DNA present in the nucleus of a cell is doubled without the doubling of the chromosome number. For example, if a cell enters the synthesis phase with 2 g DNA, it leaves the phase with 4 g DNA while the number of chromosomes remains intact. Also, a duplicate copy of the centrosome is made in the cytoplasm of the cell in preparation for mitosis.</em>

Question 4 (1 point)<br> Why are nonsense mutations rare?
Lostsunrise [7]

When a DNA sequence alteration results in a stop codon rather than a codon that specifies an amino acid, it is known as a nonsense mutation. This is rarely seen in 10% of patients with genetic disease.

<h3>What is nonsense mutation?</h3>

A nonsense mutation in a DNA sequence causes a premature stop codon, also known as a nonsense codon, in the transcribed mRNA as well as a shortened, ineffective, and typically nonfunctional protein product.

Because stop codons, also known as nonsense codons, signal the completion of protein synthesis rather than encoding for an amino acid, they are the source of the term "nonsense mutation."

Examples of illnesses for which nonsense mutations have been implicated as contributing factors include: Cystic fibrosis (produced by the G542X mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator); (CFTR) Beta-globin (thalassemia) Hurler disease.

A ____ is an agent that can cause infections and diseases.
Darina [25.2K]

<em>A </em><em>virus </em><em>is an agent that causes infections and diseases. </em>

<h2>Further Explanation </h2>

Viruses are microscopic parasites that infect cells of biological organisms. Viruses are obligate parasites, this is because viruses can only reproduce in living material by invading and utilizing the cells of living things because viruses do not have cellular equipment to reproduce themselves.

The term virus usually refers to particles that infect eukaryote cells (multicellular organisms and many types of single-cell organisms), while the term bacteriophage or phage is used for types that attack types of prokaryotic cells (bacteria and other organisms that do not cell nucleated).

The virus has been infecting since the days before Christ, this is evidenced by the existence of several discoveries, namely reports of virus infections in hieroglyphics in Memphis, the capital of ancient Egypt (1400 BC) which shows the existence of poliomyelitis. In addition, King Pharaoh Ramses V died in 1196 BC and is believed to have died of the smallpox virus.

In 1880, Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch put forward a "germ theory" namely that microorganisms are the cause of disease. At that time also the famous Koch Postulate which is very well known today, namely:

  • A disease agent must be present in every case of the disease
  • The agent must be isolated from the host and can be grown in vitro
  • When the muri agent culture is inoculated into susceptible healthy host cells, it can cause disease
  • The same agent can be taken and re-isolated from the infected host

<h3>Various kinds of viral infections </h3>
  • Acute infections are infections that last for a short time but can also be fatal.
  • Chronic infection is a prolonged viral infection so there is a risk of symptoms of the disease coming back.
