AlexFokin [52]2 years ago

The genetic change causes alterations in only one or a few nucleotide bases in known as mutation.

A mutation is a change in a brief section of a genome's nucleotide sequence. Another frequently replaces one nucleotide in point mutations; other changes involve the insertion or deletion of one or more nucleotides.

Errors in DNA replication or the harmful effects of mutagens, such as chemicals and radiation, which react with DNA and alter the architecture of individual nucleotides, are the leading causes of mutations.

DNA repair enzymes are present in all cells and work to reduce the frequency of mutations. These enzymes reduce genetic information loss, double-strand break formation, and DNA crosslinking by repairing DNA damage.

Define virus and virion, and describe the parts of a virion.
leva [86]

Answer:

A virus is a tiny infectious biological agent that can only replicate or duplicate inside the host cell. These infectious agents can infect all different types of living organisms ranging from animals and plants to microorganisms and archaea and bacteria.

Virions are ineffective particle or form of the virus outside of the host cell, with RNA or DNA and a protein capsid.

The main role of these infectious agent virions is to transfer the DNA or RNA genome from itself to the cell of host and expressed the gene which means produce proteins from the genome transferred to the host cell.

A scientist injected some cells with a drug that blocked glycolysis after NADH was formed, but before ATP and pyruvate were form
Stels [109]

Answer:

The cell could not make ATP.

Explanation:

Glycolysis may be defined as the process in which a glucose molecule is broken down into the two molecules of the pyruvate. Pyruvate is used to produce energy through various pathways that depends upon the availability of the oxygen. However when the glycolysis in blocked and the pyruvate is not formed, then the cells would not be able to use either the fermentation or aerobic respiration or the perform citric acid cycle. So the cell does not make any ATP.
