Why would a mutation in a somatic cell of a multicellular organism escape detection?

Biology

Mashcka [7]1 year ago
5 0

When a somatic cell is mutated, none of the other cells in the organism mutate with it. Screenings usually detect mutations that are in numerous cells and not in just one. That is why a mutation in a somatic cell of a multicellular organism escape detection.

<h3>What are mutations?</h3>

A mutation in biology is an adjustment to the nucleic acid sequence of an organism's, virus's, or extrachromosomal DNA. DNA or RNA can be found in the viral genome. Errors in DNA replication, viral replication, mitosis, meiosis, or other types of DNA damage (such as pyrimidine dimers from exposure to ultraviolet radiation) can result in mutations.

These errors can then lead to error-prone repairs, particularly microhomology-mediated end joining, error-causing repairs, or errors during replication. Due to mobile genetic elements, mutations can also result from the insertion or deletion of DNA segment.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is The drug binds to the 30S small ribosomal  subunit eukaryotes have 40S small sub unit.

Explanation:

Tetracycline belongs to broad spectrum antibiotic.Tetracycline is named so because it contain a derivative of four hydrocarbon rings.

 Tetracycline act by inhibiting the protein synthesis process in prokatotes by binding to the small ribosomal subunit also called 30S subsunit and blocks the binding of amino acyl tRNA to the A site or attachment site of ribosome.

 As eukaryotes contain 40S ribosomal  subunit,it becomes difficult for tetracycline to bind with 40S ribosomal subunit of eukaryotes.

A property of living and non living things

Hihi!

There are seven characteristics of living things: movement, breathing or respiration, excretion, growth, sensitivity, and reproduction! But sadly as for non-living things they lack most of these things. Their characteristics are that <span>they lack the </span>capability<span> for </span>growth<span>, </span>reproduction, respiration<span>, </span>metabolism<span>, and </span>movement<span>. They also cannot </span><span>respond to a stimuli and they also cannot</span><span> evolve and adapt to their environment. Isn't that kind of sad?
