which example of a missense mutation in a protein-encoding gene would most likely be a neutral mutation?

Biology

KATRIN_1 [288]1 year ago
3 0

An example of a missense mutation in a protein-encoding gene would most likely be a neutral mutation is option B: replacement of a polar amino acid with another polar amino acid at the protein's surface.

A frequent and well-known example of a missense mutation is the blood condition sickle-cell anemia. Missense mutations exist in the DNA at a single location in sickle-cell anemia patients. A different amino acid is required in this missense mutation, which also alters the overall structure of the protein. Similarly, replacement of a polar amino acid by another polar Ami no acid at the protein's surface is a missense mutation causing change in a single site.

A neutral mutation is one whose fixation is unrelated to natural selection. Therefore, the independence of a mutation's fixation from natural selection can be used to define the selective neutrality of a mutation.

c) Replacement of a polar amino acid with another polar amino acid in the protein's interior

d) Replacement of a polar amino acid with a nonpolar amino acid in the protein's interior

Which best describes Darwin's studies that led to the theory of evolution?
ddd [48]

Answer:

The answer is B, extensive research of an individual organism over many years.

Explanation:

The question is asking, what best describes Darwin's studies that led to the theory of evolution, it would be a lot of research over a long period of time. Think, if you were to do a school project, would you get your best results over a short or long period of time with little or a lot of evidence/research? So, B is the best answer, I believe.

REY [17]

Answer:

1. Food (or other animals that are their prey),

and the other blank would be:

2. Causing them to choke, digestive issues, or even death.

Explanation:

Plastic waste should not be littered around because of the dangers it brings to animals. For example, balloons and plastic bags pose a threat to sea turtles because if they float into the ocean, the turtles may assume they're jellyfish from their appearance and attempt to eat them.
