The mutation is a change in the nucleotidic sequence. In the exposed example, Patient 1: nucleotide 143, T<u>T</u>C⇒T<u>G</u>C. Patient 2: nucleotide 143, T<u>T</u>C⇒T<u>C</u>C. Patient 3: nucleotide 147, TT<u>C</u> ⇒ TT<u>G</u>.

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

A mutation is a change or alteration in DNI sequences that introduce new variants.

Many of these are eliminated, but some of them might succeed and be incorporated into each individual.

These mutations are the ones that have been selected by natural selection.

<h3>Solving the problem</h3>

We know that each sequence initiates with nucleotide number 103 and ends in nucleotide 162.

So first, we will number the nucleotides, from 103 to 162. Each nucleotide has a number in increasing order.

Now, we will identify the mutations in each of the strands by comparing them with the wild-type sequence. The mutation occurs in one of the nucleotides, so we must look for the change in the bases.

Finally, we will identify the nucleotide location of each mutation.

                   nucleotide                 wild-type                mutated

<u>                       location                 nucleotide              nucleotide      </u><u>           </u>

Patient 1            143                         TTC                         TGC

Patient 2           143                         TTC                         TCC

<u>Patient 3           147                          TTC                        TTG                         </u>

What are the two different results of a lack of calcium and a lack of atp?
liq [111]
<span>There are numerous proteins in muscle. The main two are thin actin filaments and thick myosin filaments. Thin filaments form a scaffold that thick filaments crawl up. There are many regulatory proteins such as troponin I, troponin C, and tropomyosin. There are also proteins that stabilize the cells and anchor the filaments to other cellular structures. A prime example of this is dystrophin. This protein is thought to stabilize the cell membrane during contraction and prevent it from breaking. Those who lack completely lack dystrophin have a disorder known as Duchene muscular dystrophy. This disease is characterized by muscle wasting begininng in at a young age and usually results in death by the mid 20s. The sarcomere is the repeating unit of skeletal muscle. 

Muscle cells contract by interactions of myosin heads on thick filament with actin monomers on thin filament. The myosin heads bind tightly to actin monomers until ATP binds to the myosin. This causes the release of the myosin head, which subsequently swings foward and associates with an actin monomer further up the thin filament. Hydrolysis and of ATP and the release of ADP and a phosphate allows the mysosin head to pull the thick filament up the thin filament. There are roughly 500 myosin heads on each thick filament and when they repeatedly move up the thin filament, the muscle contracts. There are many regulatory proteins of this contraction. For example, troponin I, troponin C, and tropomyosin form a regulatory switch that blocks myosin heads from binding to actin monomers until a nerve impulse stimulates an influx of calcium. This causes the switch to allow the myosin to bind to the actin and allows the muscle to contract. </span><span>

Bipolar disorder differs from schizophrenia in that _______. A. schizophrenia typically involves hallucinations B. schizophrenia
77julia77 [94]

Option A. Bipolar disorder differs from schizophrenia in that schizophrenia typically involves hallucinations.

What is bipolar disorder?

  • Bipolar disorder, previously known as manic depression, is a mood disorder characterized by periods of depression and periods of abnormally-elevated happiness that last from days to weeks each.
  • If the elevated mood is severe or associated with psychosis, it is called mania; if it is less severe, it is called hypomania.

What is schizophrenia?

  • A disorder that affects a person's ability to think, feel, and behave clearly.
  • The exact cause of schizophrenia isn't known, but a combination of genetics, environment, and altered brain chemistry and structure may play a role.

What is hallucination?

  • A perception of having seen, heard, touched, tasted, or smelled something that wasn't actually there.
  • Hallucination can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease. Examples include drug intoxication.
