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

1 answer:

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.

Shortly after the zygote is formed, it begins the processes of duplication and division. Each resulting new cell has:

seropon [69]

Answer:A. the same number of chromosomes as was contained in the zygote.

Explanation:a zygote is formed when the sperm fertilize the egg .

After fertilization,the zygote undergoes cleavage.cleavage is the mitotic Division of the cells of a zygote to produce daughter cells.

These daughter cells are called blastomere,which contains the same number of chromosomes as the parent cells.the cells formed do not grow in size but continues to divide, forming a mass of cells.

This mass may be solid at first but as cleavage continues,the cells move away from the center,leaving a fluid filled cavity in the middle (blastocoel).

The mass of cells are called blastula.

Compare the biomes of New York City and Seattle. Why are their biomes different?

kupik [55]

Answer with Explanation:

New York City is located in the eastern part of the USA. Places in this area have a "temperate deciduous forest" as its biome. This kind of biome constantly changes and thus, it experiences four types of seasons (winter, spring, summer and fall). Precipitation in this biome occurs all throughout the year thus, this supplies the amount of water needed for plants and animals to grow. This also makes the soil fertile which allows the growth of "hardwood trees." In this sense, it becomes easier to build houses, facilities and other buildings, thereby increasing the population in this area.

On the contrary, Seattle is located on the western area of the USA. Places in this area have a "temperate coniferous forest" as its biome. This kind of biome has a moist temperate, thus resulting to evergreen forests even during winter. It has one of the longest dry summers in the world that it is said to have even stood out. However, temperate coniferous forests are known for having warm summer and cool winter. This allows the growth of many kinds of plants (Needleleaf and Broadleaf).
