Answer: Mutation

Explanation: Mutation is a permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of a DNA. This change occurs during replication where one or more base pairs is either substituted, inserted or deleted in the nucleotide sequence of a DNA. These alterations in the DNA sequence produce permanent changes in the genetic information encoded in the DNA. Substitution mutation occurs when one or more base pairs are replaced by another. Insertion mutation occurs when one or more base pairs are added in a nucleotide sequence while deletion mutation occurs when one or more base pairs are removed from a DNA sequence. When these mutations are not adequately repaired by the DNA repair system, these will lead to production of an RNA with an altered nucleotide sequence and will result in the production of a protein with an altered amino acid sequence. The alteration in the amino acid sequence of the protein will result in loss of or altered function of the protein and will ultimately lead to the expression of a different trait in the organism.

<span>
During the DNA synthesis via PCR, polymerization occurs in 5’-3’ direction. This means that enzyme DNA polymerase which synthesizes a new DNA strand is complementary to the DNA template strand (3’-<span>5’ direction). 5’ phosphate group of the free nucleotides which are added is attached to the 3'-hydroxyl group at the end of the elongating DNA strand.</span></span>

Aliun [14]

Answer:

Sympathetic nervous system

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system of the autonomic division prepares the body for stress or emergency conditions by generating the “fight-or-flight” responses. The sympathetic nervous system triggers the release of stress hormones from the adrenal medulla to generate the set of physiological responses.

There is dilation of the pupil, and an increased rate of heartbeat and increased blood pressure. Other responses include dilation of airways and dilation of blood vessels that supply blood to skeletal muscles, heart muscles, liver, etc. Under the given emergency condition, the sympathetic nervous system of Meghan was activated to generate the fight or flight response.
