Original Codon: CTC GAG

Biology
1 answer:
Vesna [10]1 year ago
5 0

The original codons code for Leucine and Glutamic acid. The mutated codons code for Valine and Glutamine.

<h3>Genetic codes and amino acids</h3>

Each of the genetic codes. otherwise known as codons, translates to an amino acid.

Following the table of genetic codes with their respective amino acids:

  • CTC (CUC) codes for Leucine
  • GAG codes for Glutamic acid
  • GTC (GUC)codes for Valine
  • CAG codes for Glutamine

Thus, the glutamic acid in the original codon has been replaced with glutamine in the mutated codon while Leucine has been replaced with Valine.

Why are peas carbohydrates
andreev551 [17]

  • Complex carbohydrates are made up of sugar molecules that are strung together in long, complex chains. Complex carbohydrates are found in foods such as peas, beans, whole grains, and vegetables. Both simple and complex carbohydrates are turned to glucose (blood sugar) in the body and are used as energy.

About artificial selection, determine if YOU think the benefits of artificial selection outweigh the disadvantages.
Sloan [31]

Answer:

What YOU think

Explanation:

That's what it asks, but here are some points to help you along your way: Artificial selection has brought about the extinction or overpopulation of certain species. This can be seen in the avocado or banana industry. Consumers like the smaller, sweeter species of avocadoes. This caused that species to explode and the old ones to become endangered as farmers grew only that type and bred them selectively. Consumers like the smaller, less mushy, less sweet banana species, so now an amazing species of banana is extinct because the forests that used to have them now no longer exist or were changed to grow only that type of banana. Flip it to the animal side, and it's the same story. Those turkeys that the president "Saves" every year? because of artificial selection, that turkey dies a few weeks later because he grew too plump. Why? Because those turkeys are artificially selected to grow much larger than a normal turkey, and their lifespan is not in mind as they are grown for meat. Also, I hope all of this work gives me brainliest :/

4. A polypeptide has the following amino acid sequence: Met-Ser-Pro-Arg-Leu-Glu-Gly In the mutant below, indicate the type of mu
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

4. c. Deletion/ frameshift mutation

5. a. Tyr Tyr Asp Ser Gly

6. A frameshift occurred which altered the identity of the amino acids following the initiator 6. methionine, but not the length of protein Q.

Explanation:

4)

A single base pair at the first position of the Arg codon i.e. CGA has been deleted. Due to the deletion, the reading frame has shifted one nucleotide backwards, altering the amino acid sequence of the protein.

5)

The genomic DNA sequence is 5'-ATG ATA CTA AGG CCC-3'. Therefore, the complementary mRNA will be 5'-UAC UAU GAU UCC GGG-3'. According to the genetic code, this mRNA sequence encodes the following amino acid sequence: Tyr Tyr Asp Ser Gly

6)

The wild type DNA sequence is:

5'-ACUGUAAUGGAGUCAGAUGAUGCAUUAAGGAGAAAUUGAAAUAAA-3'

The mutant i.e. mRNA with the added G will be

5' ACUGUAAUGGGAGUCAGAUGAUGCAUUAAGGAGAAAUUGAAAUAAA-3'  

This is a single base pair insertion and frameshift mutation that shifts the reading frame one base pair forwards. The codon that was originally GAG coding for glutamic acid (Glu) gets converted to GGA that codes for glycine. Therefore, the amino acid sequence has been altered but the polypeptide chain will still have 13 amino acids.
