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

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.

Complete question is:

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

a) Replacement of a polar amino acid with a nonpolar amino acid at the protein's outer surface

b) Replacement of a polar amino acid with another polar amino acid at the protein's surface

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

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:Phosphorylation cascades are similar to a row of dominoes falling down, instead of one domino knocking down the next, a phosphate being added activates the message. In this way, a series of different _(phosphate group) are each _(added ) after another. Inactive protein kinase 1 gets a __(phosphate group_)___ added and now it is active protein kinase 1. Active protein kinase 1 transfers a (phosphate group) and now inactive protein kinase 2 is now ___(active)_____. This continues until the desired (protein ) is activated to cause a cellular response.

PLEASE HELP ASAP<br><br> how does the ribosome read the mRNA?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

A ribosome is made up of two basic pieces: a large and a small subunit. During translation, the two subunits come together around a mRNA molecule, forming a complete ribosome. The ribosome moves forward on the mRNA, codon by codon, as it is read and translated into a polypeptide (protein chain).

Differentiate between cell mass and cell number
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Measurement (Count) of Cell Numbers:

1. Breed Method:

A known volume of microbial cell suspension (0.01 ml) is spread uniformly over a glass slide covering a specific area (1 sq. cm). The smear is then fixed by heating, stained, examined under oil immersion lens, and the cells are counted.

Customarily, cells in a few microscopic fields are counted because it is not possible to scan the entire area of smear. The counting of total number of cells is determined by calculating the total number of microscopic fields per one square cm. area of the smear.
