Explain how a change in the sequence of nucleotides in a strand of DNA might cause a protein to malfunction

valkas [14]

Answer:

As a result of a change in the sequence of nucleotides in a strand of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid), the amino acids also change in the final protein which leads to protein malfunction.

Explanation:

As a result of a change in the sequence of nucleotides in a strand of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid), the amino acids also change in the final protein which leads to protein malfunction. If insulin does not work correctly, it may not be able to bind to the insulin receptor.

DNA contains genetic information. It has a double helix structure.

Insects often act as pollinators for plants. In turn, plants provide these insects with food. What kind of a relationship exists

sesenic [268]

A very strong relationship. I'll take the easiest example :the bees. They are so important for our planet. Without them, we and all living creatures on earth would be on track to dispariton. Let me explain why. At first, the bees need the nectar from flowers to make honey ( source of food ). As they pollen from flower to flower, they transport pollen on their tiny little legs and in this way, they help the plants to reproduce themselves. If, for some reason, there will be no more bees. Plants and flowers will not thrive, plants will be eaten without having contribued to the productivity of the species and they will go out. No plants, no more veggies or fruits for herbivorous and humans, no more herbivorous no more food for carnivorous, etc. Also, without plants, there will be less oxygen on our planet. Slowly the fauna and flora will die on earth and then it will be our turn. That is why relationships with plants and insects are so important. Plants produce oxygen for all of us and they are a natural and healthy source of food and insects help plants to survive and thus save the species.

A flea is a tiny wingless insect with a flat body designed to easily navigate through

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

A. Parasitism, because the flee is benefitting and the mammal is harmed.

Explanation:

Parasitism is when one organism which is a parasite lives on another which is the host, and gaining benefits from it and at the same time maiming havoc to it. Parasitism is common among living organisms. Animals are most times the host to a range of parasitic organisms which include viruses, bacteria, fungi,protozoa, also flea, tick, mites etc.

Parasites like fleas, tick and leeches live on the body surface of their host, which is make them ectoparasites while those that live inside their hosts are endoparasites.

31. The data in the accompanying graph show evidence of disease in the human body. D 38 - - E Body Temperature (°C) 377 А IDOT B

shepuryov [24]

Homeostasis keeps the organism in a dynamic equilibrium within the homeostatic range. A disruption in dynamic equilibrium is indicated by the temperature change between point C and D. Option C is correct.

<h3>What is homeostasis?</h3>

Homeostasis is the organism's capacity to keep the body in constant internal equilibrium, even when the external environment is oscillating.

Homeostasis is critical to keep the correct internal functioning of the body.

Different functions -blood pressure, body temperature, respiratory rate, and blood glucose levels, among others- are kept in a restricted range around a reference point, even though external conditions may be changing.

When a sudden change occurs in the internal functioning that disturbs this equilibrium, the organism counters it back by negative or positive feedback.

<h3>Graph interpretation</h3>

In the exposed graph we can see,

The restricted range of homeostasis at a constant temperature around 37ºC.

Six reference points (A-F) withing 12 hours.

Dynamic equilibrium is kept in the range of homeostasis around 37ºC, excepting for point D that reaches 38ºC.

The references point A, B, and C suggest that during the first 10 hours, approximately, the body was in equilibrium.

A change in the internal functioning broke the equilibrium, rising temperature to 38ºC, out of the homeostatic range.

The organism took the internal values to their original state, and at points E and F, the organism was in equilibrium again.

A disruption in dynamic equilibrium is indicated by the temperature change between point C and D.
