Answer:

Gene mutations

Low level of transcription

Not enough amino acids

Problems with protein trafficking

Explanation:

Mutations in genes or their surrounding regulatory elements could affect the transcription of the gene or the sequence of the mRNA. For example, mutations in the gene regulatory elements could affect the binding of transcription factors that affect gene transcription. This would in turn affect the abundance of mRNA. Alternatively, a deletion in the gene could result in an incomplete and non-functional protein being produced. While a mutation would only directly affect one protein, it could have a knock on effect on a variety of others

In the nucleus, if gene transcription is low, the cell will not produce enough mRNAs, which are translated into protein. This could happen if, for example, the level of RNA polymerase or another important factor in transcription, are low. If the transcription machinery is not producing enough mRNA, then the protein synthesis machinery in the cytoplasm will not have templates from which to make proteins

Amino acids are important building blocks of proteins. Not all of the amino acids can be produced by the cell, some of them have to be obtained from our diet. For example, valine. If there is not a sufficient pool of valine in the cell, then the tRNA will not be able to deliver valine to the ribosome quickly enough to growing mRNA chains. This means the protein synthesis machinery can't keep up with the demands of the cell, resulting in less protein being synthesised.

The Golgi apparatus is an important organelle in the trafficking of proteins. Proteins reach the Golgi apparatus, and are enclosed in membrane-bound vesicles, where they are delivered to the sites they are required, for example, proteins are secreted outside the cell in this way. A problem with the Golgi apparatus would mean proteins cannot be secreted outside the cell properly. The Golgi apparatus is known to be dysfunctional in Alzheimer's disease, for example.

Will bromine react with sodium and why?
Archy [21]

<span><span>When you write down the electronic configuration of bromine and sodium, you get this

Na:
Br: </span></span>

<span><span />So here we the know the valence electrons for each;</span>

<span><span>Na:  (2e)
Br:  (7e, you don't count for the d orbitals)

Then, once you know this, you can deduce how many bonds each can do and you discover that bromine can do one bond since he has one electron missing in his p orbital, but that weirdly, since the s orbital of sodium is full and thus, should not make any bond.

However, it is possible for sodium to come in an excited state in wich he will have sent one of its electrons on an higher shell to have this valence configuration:</span></span>

<span><span /></span><span><span>

</span>where here now it has two lonely valence electrons, one on the s and the other on the p, so that it can do a total of two bonds.</span><span>That's why bromine and sodium can form </span>

<span>

Why do different elements make different color flames when you burn them?
Dovator [93]
When you heat an atom, some of its electrons are "excited* to higher energy levels. When an electron drops from one level to a lower energy level, it emits a quantum of energy. ... The different mix of energy differences for each atom produces different colours. Each metal gives a characteristic flame emission spectrum.
