So the flowchart should go like this:
Mutation in the CFTR gene >>>>>> Production of defective CFTR protein >>>>>> defective CFTR protein in cell membrane or no protein at all >>>>>>> Impaired ion transport across the cells >>>>>>> Cells secrete less chloride >>>>>>> leads to more re-absorption of sodium and water into the cells >>>>>>> decreased hydration of mucus present outside the cells as more water is absorbed into the cells >>>>>>>> thick viscous mucus.

Name and Function of The Microscope </h2>
A. Objective Lens.
function: gathers light from the specimen, magnifies the image of the specimen, and projects the magnified image into the body tube.
B. Stage Clips
function: hold the slides in place
C. Stage
function: This is the section on which the specimen is placed for viewing.
D. Light
focused light and lenses to magnify a specimen.
E. Base
The bottom of the microscope,used for support Illuminator.
F. Ocular Lens( Eyepiece )
The lens the viewer looks through to see the specimen.
G. Arm
connects to the base and supports the microscope head.
H. Diaphragm
used to vary the intensity and size of the cone of light that is projected upward into the slide.
I. Coarse Adjustment
used to bring the specimen into approximate or near focus.
J. Fine Adjustment
used to bring the specimen into sharp focus under low power and is used for all focusing when using high power lenses.
Answer:
A silent mutation is a change in the sequence of nucleotide bases which constitutes DNA, without a subsequent change in the amino acid or the function of the overall protein. A silent mutation is just that: it does nothing significant, not making a sound in the orchestra of the cell
Explanation:
A good index fossil is one with four characteristics: it is distinctive, widespread, abundant, and limited in geologic time. Because most fossil-bearing rocks formed in the ocean, the major index fossils are marine organisms
