Acetyl CoA is a feed forward activator of the enzyme <u> pyruvate carboxylase</u> ensuring sufficient oxaloacetate for the citric acid cycle to continue.

<h3>Why does acetyl-CoA stimulate pyruvate carboxylase?</h3>

Acetyl-CoA selectively activates pyruvate carboxylase. When acetyl-CoA concentrations are high, organisms use pyruvate carboxylase to divert pyruvate from the TCA cycle because acetyl-CoA is a crucial metabolite in the TCA cycle that generates a lot of energy. The production of more oxaloacetate is triggered by an excess of mitochondrial acetyl-CoA.

Acetyl coenzyme A, often known as acetyl-CoA, is a crucial component in metabolism and is involved in numerous metabolic processes. Its major job is to transport the acetyl group's carbon atoms to the Krebs cycle, where they can be oxidized to produce energy. When there is an abundance of acetyl CoA available, the mitochondrial enzyme pyruvate carboxylase (PC) catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to oxaloacetate.

The following DNA non-template sequence (coding sequence) is transcribed from left to right. Use the sequence to determine the t
amm1812

Answer:

(A) A transversion base substitution causing a missense mutation

(B) A transition base substitution causing a silent mutation

(C)  A transversion base substitution causing a silent mutation

Explanation:

There are two types of base substitutions, transversions and transitions. A transition is when the a purine base is substituted with another purine base or a pyrimidine base is substituted with a pyrimidine base (e.g. Purines - A to G; G to A;  Pyrimidines - C to T; T to C). A transversion occurs when a purine base is substituted with a pyrimidine base or a pyrimidine base is substituted with a purine base (e.g. A to T; C to A).

There are three main types of mutations, these are missense mutations, nonsense mutations and silent mutations. Missense mutations occur when a base is changed and the codon now codes for a different amino acid to before the mutation. Nonsense mutations occur when a base is changed and now the codon codes for a stop codon causing a premature stop of the translation process. Silent mutations occur when a base is changed but the new codon still codes for the same amino acid as before the mutation.

Transposable elements make up 44% of the human genome. What is thought to be their function?
AfilCa [17]

Transposable elements are considered to be responsible for vast range of genome diversity and gene silencing.

Explanation:

Transposable elements are short sequences of DNA that have the ability to move from one location to another in the genome. During this process they copy themselves.

The entire process carried out by transposable elements to copy themselves and move from one location to another is called transposition.

Transposition may result in mutation and is potentially a major source of genome diversity and change. If a transposon inserts itself into the coding region of a gene,it interrupts the coding sequence and inactivates the gene expression.

In addition to this, a transposable element may contain transcription or translation termination signal that will block the gene expression downstream of insertion site.
