A silent mutation. This is when the new codon will work just as well as the old one without changing the amino acid shape.
Answer:
1. DDT (
Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) with molecular formula; C14H9Cl5
2. Lead
Explanation:
1. DDT (Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is an example of compounds that biomagnifies in the biosphere. DDT is used as pesticides. When DDT is sprayed on plants to kill their pests, part of it is accumulated within the plants.
However, when primary consumers feeds on the affected plants, DDT is passed on to them and then to the secondary consumer in that sequence until it get to the top of the trophic level.
Effects of DDT have been seen in many organisms including birds and humans. The effects seen in humans is quite minimal to that of insects and birds. DDT causes lost of many insects and young birds. In humans, it causes vomiting, seizures etc.
2. Lead: it enters the biosphere by absorption and consumption means. Humans through the use of lead paint, smoking of cigarettes, use of cosmetics and combustion of coal accumulates lead in their bodies. Lead can't be synthesize by human, therefore it accumulates and biomagnify within their systems.
The effects of lead in human include; vomiting, stroke and abdominal pains. In tough scenario, it causes immune system deterioration and cardiovascular diseases.
The patient should decrease the amount of rice and pasta and increase the amount of lean meats in his or her diet.
I believe it's smaller and less rounded. Hope this help, God bless!
