How does the possible impact of a chromosomal mutation that occurs?

1 answer:

7 0

If the mutation occurs during meiosis, the mutation will be incorporated into a gamete. If that gamete is the one that eventually fuses with another gamete (i.e. if it's the sperm that fertilizes the egg), that mutation will be passed on to the offspring. As all the offspring's cells are the result of the first two gametes, all the organism's cells will have that mutation. Obviously this can have dire consequences for the offspring, if the mutation is harmful.

In the skeletal muscle cells of vertebrates, as many as ____________ molecules of atp are produced from one molecule of glucose.

shusha [124]

<span>In the skeletal muscle cells of vertebrates, as many as 38 molecules of ATP are produced from one molecule of glucose. This is less than might be expected, because electrons from NADH produced during glycolysis must be shuttled through the inner mitochondrial membrane at a cost.
</span>The energy of the electrons can be used to make ATP and in eukaryotes, glycolysis occurs in the <span>cytosol, outside mitochondria. </span>

As a ribosome translocates along an mrna molecule by one codon, what happens after it?

erastova [34]

Answer:

The tRNA is released from the E site of the ribosome and the elongation process finishes while the termination process starts.

Explanation:

When the translocation process is finished the tRNA that is in the E site of the ribosome is released and the A site of the ribosome reads a stop codon in the mRNA in order to finish the elongation process and start with the termination process. In the termination process a termination factor joins the stop codon, the ribosomal subunits split apart, the protein and the tRNA dissociate from one another and the tARN is not in the P site of the ribosome anymore.
