The answer is <span>C.silent.

Nonsense, missense, silent, and frameshift mutations are point mutations. The point mutations are the change in a single nucleotide base on the DNA molecule. In a missense mutation, the change in a single nucleotide base results in a codon coding for a different amino acid. In a nonsense mutation, the change in a single nucleotide results in a stop codon or in a nonsense codon. Frameshift mutation, due to addition or deletion of a base, results in the change of reading frame and totally different translation. In all these cases, the change could lead to different of nonfunctional protein translation.
Silent mutation, on the other, means that change in a nucleotide base will no affect amino acid. It will result in a different codon, but the one that code for the same amino acid, so the same protein will be produced.

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The normal body temperature for humans is 37 degrees Celsius. Most of the enzymes of a human's bodywork best at this temperature. If an enzyme was discovered which works best at 39 degrees Celsius, then it means that the enzyme works at elevated temperatures for events which require slightly higher temperatures.

The enzyme will most probably work for overcoming fever or for reducing the temperature of the body after exercise.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

d. transcription factors

Explanation:

Transcription factors are the proteins present in cells that are involved in the regulation of gene expression. The transcription factors may increase or decrease the expression of a gene. Therefore, a transcription factor may serve as an activator or repressor for a gene. These proteins bind to a regulatory sequence present near or within a gene, interact with RNA polymerase or other transcription factors and thereby, affect the transcription initiation.

Since binding of dioxin to certain proteins alter the pattern of gene expression in the cells, these proteins are the transcription factors. For instance, dioxin may bind to a transcription factor and up-regulate the expression of genes which in turn regulate the cell division.

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

operates om the principle of temperature-induced resistance.

Explanation:

In physical quantities, the resistance of an electrical conductor can be correlated directly with the temperature of the material. The property for the change in the resistance with temperature is called the temperature coefficient of resistance. Mathematically, the resistance of a material is given as follows:

R = R_{ref} [ 1 + \alpha (T - T_{ref})]

where R = conductor resistance at the temperature T.

Rreff = the conductor resistance at the reference temperature,

\alpha = temperature coefficient of resistance

T = Conductor temperature

Treff = reference temperature of the material.

From the equation, it can be seen that a positive coefficient for a material means an increase in the resistance of the material.
