Which type of mutation always creates a stop codon?

Biology

Hatshy [7]3 years ago

The type of mutation that does this is a point substitution mutation, more specifically A Nonsense mutation. It changes a codon coding for an amino acid to a codon coding for the signal to stop or terminate translation.

Answer:

The correct answer would be nonsence mutation.

It is a type of point mutation in which an amino acid coding codon is converted into a stop codon.  

It results in the termination of a premature polypeptide chain.

For example, the mutation of codon third GCT into ACT in which guanine is replaced with adenine.

DNA template strand  3' - TAC TGA GCT GTG GCT CGC TCG ACT - 5'

mRNA sequence         5' - AUG ACU CGA CAC CGA GCG AGC UGA- 3'

Amino acid sequence       Met   Thr    Arg  His    Arg  Ala   Ser    Stop

Mutated DNA template strand  3'-TAC TGA ACT GTG GCT CGC TCG ACT -5'

mRNA sequence                       5'- AUG ACU UGA CAC CGA GCG AGC UGA-3'

Amino acid sequence                   Met   Thr    Stop

Select the correct sequence concerning glucose catabolism. glycolysis - pyruvate - acetyl - coa - electron transport chain - kre
Natali [406]
The correct sequence is; Glycolysis-pyruvate-acetyl CoA-krebs cycle-electron transport chain. 
Glycolysis is a sequence of reactions for the breakdown of glucose to two molecules of pyruvic acid under aerobic conditions, Krebs cycle is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to release stored energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into carbon dioxide and chemical energy in the energy carriers, while electron transport chain involves a series of complexes that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via redox reactions and couples this transfer with the transfer of protons across a membrane.

Explain briefly how these features contribute to the efficiency of photosynthesis?​
barxatty [35]

Answer:

here's your answer

Explanation:

the estimated maximum energy efficiency of photosynthesis is the energy stored per mole of oxygen evolved, 117/450, or 26 percent.

Consequently, plants can at best absorb only about 34 percent of the incident sunlight. The actual percentage of solar energy stored by plants is much less than the maximum energy efficiency of photosynthesis. An agricultural crop in which the biomass (total dry weight) stores as much as 1 percent of total solar energy received on an annual areawide basis is exceptional, although a few cases of higher yields (perhaps as much as 3.5 percent in sugarcane) have been reported. There are several reasons for this difference between the predicted maximum efficiency of photosynthesis and the actual energy stored in biomass. First, more than half of the incident sunlight is composed of wavelengths too long to be absorbed, and some of the remainder is reflected or lost to the leaves
