If a cytosine base is substituted for by a thymine base in a DNA segment during DNA replication, the sequence could code for the wrong amino acid during translation.

The change in the sequence of DNA is known as mutation.

When a base substitution occurs in the sequence of a DNA during replication, the genetic information in the region where the substitution occurred becomes compromised.

During transcription, the process of encoding genetic information on DNA into RNA, the base substituted is also transcribed along. If cytosine is substituted by thymine, adenine is transcribed instead of guanine.

During the translation of the genetic codes, the wrong amino acids might end up being translated due to the substituted base, leading to a faulty protein.

Cellular respiration occurs in the body 24 hours per day. During exercise, the rate of cellular respiration increases. Why does
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

because the body requires a higher supply of oxygen

Explanation:

Cellular respiration can be divided into two different metabolic processes: aerobic respiration which needs oxygen (O2) and anaerobic respiration (without O2). The aerobic cellular respiration is produced when glucose molecules react with O2 in order to form ATP, the energy currency of the cell. Aerobic cellular respiration is the main source for generating ATP. During exercise, the requirement of O2 will be higher because the cellular respiration rate is increased in order to produce more energy (ATP). In consequence, during physical activities, it is required have to breathe faster to supply this O2, which enters into the lungs to be transported to all the cells through blood circulation.

What happens to the concentration of free water molecules when a substance dissolves in the water?
777dan777 [17]
If you are adding something to the water the concentration of water would drop, as it would start off as 100% water but then with the addition of another substance it would change that from 100% free to x% free, due to the water dissolving the substance.
