Question 4 (1 point) Why are nonsense mutations rare?

Biology
1 answer:
Lostsunrise [7]1 year ago
5 0

When a DNA sequence alteration results in a stop codon rather than a codon that specifies an amino acid, it is known as a nonsense mutation. This is rarely seen in 10% of patients with genetic disease.

<h3>What is nonsense mutation?</h3>

A nonsense mutation in a DNA sequence causes a premature stop codon, also known as a nonsense codon, in the transcribed mRNA as well as a shortened, ineffective, and typically nonfunctional protein product.

Because stop codons, also known as nonsense codons, signal the completion of protein synthesis rather than encoding for an amino acid, they are the source of the term "nonsense mutation."

Examples of illnesses for which nonsense mutations have been implicated as contributing factors include: Cystic fibrosis (produced by the G542X mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator); (CFTR) Beta-globin (thalassemia) Hurler disease.

Question 1: When a chemical reaction occurs, what happens to the atoms of the two substances?
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

In a chemical reaction, only the atoms present in the reactants can end up in the products.

Explanation: No new atoms are created, and no atoms are destroyed. In a chemical reaction, reactants contact each other, bonds between atoms in the reactants are broken, and atoms rearrange and form new bonds to make the products.

How has the use of pcr improved modern dna forensic science?
mestny [16]
PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is a relatively new advance (1980's) but it has a great impact in our lives. Specifically, in forensic science, PCR is useful in many sorts of crimes . Up until the PCR method, in order to identify a person forensic scientists would use fingerprints or some other ambiguous methods like teeth marks etc. But now, with PCR, we can compare the genetic material found on a crime scene and compare it with a suspect's genetic material, definitively concluding whether they are the same person or not. The way this works is that we collect a sample from the crime scene with DNA and then PCR amplifies the quantity of DNA in that sample. One of the apparent advantages of this method is that PCR works with even a very small sample, often not even a single cell is required. This makes crime scenes full of information. Hence, succinctly, PCR has helped modern forensic science in that:
1) its results are more definitve than traditional identification methods and subject to less ambiguity
2) it is relatively fast
3) new pieces of evidence can be of value (like some hair cells) and identify the crominal in cases that in older times would be impossible to solve.

Grass-&gt;Grasshopper-&gt;Mouse According to the 10% rule, how much of the grass's energy does the mouse receive in this example
lesya [120]

The grass energy that mouse receive is 10%.

The 10% rule states that only 10% of available energy is transferred as food is consumed from one trophic level to the next. It's important since it generates the pyramidal structure and establishes the number of organisms at each trophic level. Heat, inedible components, and the mere reality that not all prey are consumed by predators all result non energy loss.
