Mutations can occur at higher rates in viruses.

Explanation:

The mutation rate of an organism refers to the rate or average number of errors which are formed in the genome of the organism’s progeny per base per replication cycle.

Accordingly the Mutations of viruses are the highest per base pair per generation mutation. Viruses can mutate more than a million times than the host’s body due to their virulence factor, evolution ability, and presence of a variety of traits.  

Of the DNA and RNA viruses, the RNA viruses like the Retroviruses having a much higher rate, for example, the HIV virus which is a Retrovirus has high mutation rate.

Leokris [45]

Answer:

Part A: Thr-Leu-Val

Part B: ACC-UUG-GUU

Explanation:

When you transcribe a DNA sequence to mRNA, you need to remember that in RNA there is no Thymine (T), instead it has Uracil (U). So the base pairings would be like this compared to DNA base pairing:

DNA                RNA

A-T                  A-U

T-A                  T-A

C-G                 G-C

G-C                 C-G

Given the sequence the transcription will be as follows:

DNA :   TGG - AAC - CAA  

mRNA: ACC - UUG - GUU

Next, to translate it into amino acids, you will use the chart. Now amino acids pair in codons (3 base pairs at a time).  Let's take the first codon in your sequence:

ACC

1st  2nd   3rd

 A     C       C

Using the column on the left, find the row that matches it, so in this case A.

At the very top, there is another row of letters, looking at the row of A only, look for the column of the second base which is C.

Lastly, look at the right most column and find the letter that matches the third base within the box where A and C intersect. In this case, C is your third base.

The amino acid where all three intersect is your first amino acid which is Thr.

Just do this for the next codons and you will come up with the answer.

In which process CO2, is released as a by-product of oxidation-reduction reactions?
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

B) Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle)

Explanation:

Glycolysis breaks glucose into two pyruvate molecules. Pyruvate is decarboxylated into acetyl CoA and the reaction occurs in the matrix of mitochondria. In the mitochondrial matrix, acetyl CoA enters Kreb's cycle and is broken down into CO2 and H2O. For one molecule of acetyl CoA, two molecules of CO2 are released as a by-product. Therefore, out of three carbon atoms of pyruvate, two are released as CO2 during Kreb's cycle.

Margarita [4]

Answer:

<u>Hydrolysis</u>

Explanation:

Hydrolysis is a reaction that involves a water molecule being inserted between a disaccharide or polysaccharide, making the glycoside bond that connects the two sugars to break and two monosaccharide molecules are produced. Starch which include long chains of glucose molecules joined together forming a polysaccharide compound.
