Mutations occur when segments of DNA are accidentally rearranged through the deletion, insertion, or substitution of one or more

nucleotides. The diagram below shows how a nucleotide sequence can be changed by these mutations. If one or more of these mutations occurs in the genes of reproductive cells, how might the traits of offspring be affected?

Answer:

-they may not be affected at all

-they may receive a benefit

-they may be harmed

Explanation:

The mutation is a sudden change that occurs at random in the genetic material and that can be transmitted to the descendants. These mutations can occur by exclusion, insertion or replacement of one or more nucleotides that may or may not have some consequences on the life of the affected offspring.

Mutations can occur in any cell in the body, whether they are somatic cells (skin, liver, heart cells, etc.) or reproductive cells (gametes). When the mutation occurs in any somatic cell, we say that there was a somatic mutation. This type of mutation is not important in evolution, as it will not be transmitted to descendants. If the mutation occurs in any reproductive cell (sperm or egg) we say that there was a germline mutation. In this type of mutation, the DNA change will be passed on to the descendants. However, when the mutation occurs in the reproductive cells, the offspring may not be affected, it may have a disadvantageous feature, or an advantageous feature.

If a mutation occurs in the genes of reproductive cells (gametes) that mutation is termed a germinal mutation. <span>Germinal mutations usually are not expressed in the individual containing the mutation, but gametes that carry the mutation will pass it on to the offspring. So, we say that the germinal mutations are hereditary mutations, inherited from a parent and present in every somatic and germline cell in the offspring.</span>

Two protein kinases, K1 and K2, function sequentially in an intracellular signaling pathway. If either kinase contains a mutatio
Korolek [52]

Answer:

The order must be K2→K1, since the permanently active K1 allele (K1a) is able to propagate the signal onward even when its upstream activator K2 is inactive (K2i). The reverse order would have resulted in a failure to signal (K1a→K2i), since the permanently active K1a kinase would be attempting to activate a dead K2i kinase.

Explanation:

  • You characterize a double mutant cell that contains K2 with type I mutation and K1 with type II mutation.
  • You observe that the response is seen even when no extracellular signal is provided.
  • In the normal pathway, i f K1 activat es K2, we expect t his combinat ion of two m utants to show no  response with or without ext racell ular signal. This is because no matt er how active K1 i s, it would be unable to  act ivate a mutant K2 that i s an activit y defi cient. If we reverse the order, K2 activating K1, the above  observati on is valid. Therefore, in the normal signaling pathway, K2 activates K1.

Which of the following kinds of cells preform basic functions such as obtaining energy from food?
strojnjashka [21]

Plant cells, but not animal cells

Animal cells, but not plant cells

Both plant cells and animal cells

Neither animal cells nor plant cells

Answer:

Both plant cells and animal cells

Explanation:

The process where the energy locked up in food is extracted take place in both plants and animal cells.This process is called Cellular respiration.It is the process of combining inhaled and diffused oxygen in the blood with assimilated food substances (glucose,amino acids,fatty acids and glycerol) to produce energy.

In both cells it takes place in the the cytoplasm and mitochondrial.

It begins with Glycolysis, followed by Krebs's Cycle..These two steps gives certain of ATPs to these cells

.However,the largest amount of ATPs is synthesized during oxidative phosphorylation  for maximum of energy to be produced.This process involved the chemiosmosis where protons were diffused into the intramembranes by the proton pump (PMF) and diffused back into the matrix of the mitochondria to generate the electrochemical gradients.

The electrochemical gradients generate the energy for enzymes ATPase synthase needed for phosphorylation of ADP with Pi to give ATPs.

The oxygen act act the final electron acceptor.

What is protein synthesis?
mixer [17]

Answer:

C) Protein synthesis is the process through which cells read DNA and build the molecular components of new cells.

Explanation:

DNA is the genetic material of the organisms. It stores the genetic information used to make the molecules and other components required for the new cells. This process of formation of molecules is called protein synthesis. During protein synthesis, The DNA forms a complementary messenger RNA (mRNA) in the nucleus of a cell. Synthesis of mRNA from DNA is called transcription. The mRNA released into the cytoplasm where codons on mRNA sequence translate into a polypeptide or protein molecules by linking a chain of amino acids by peptide bonds.
