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

Give two reasons why it is better for human muscle cells to produce energy through aerobic respiration than through anaerobic re
NISA [10]
Anaerobic respiration (without oxygen) would caused muscle cells to produce lactic acid. This causes the muscles to ache and in the long term, damages them. Also anaerobic respiration releases far less energy (ATP) than aerobic respiration. So it is best for muscle cells to respire aerobically as they need more energy.

Some people seem more willing to openly display prejudice regarding sexual orientation than prejudice regarding race and gender.
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Some people offer more prejudice on the sexual orientation because sexual orientation like gay marriages were not seen in the world before. Before the 21st century, the same- sex marriage was never seen or heard about. So, today people display more prejudice regarding this issue because sexual orientation began in the 21st century. Many people are of the view that this same sex marriage is not traditional and hence it is not right morally. While others believe that every person has the right of freedom and this is their civil right to do what they like.

The discrimination based on race and gender has been an issue from the start of human lives. Almost every country has a history which shows race and gender discrimination. Hence, though majority of the people today are against this but still is is not as a hot and new topic for prejudice as the topic of sexual orientation is.

Which of the following statements is true of asexual reproduction?
Alex73 [517]
<span>Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent. The offspring may either bud from the parent or by fission. An example of this is Baker’s yeast. They are produced by budding. So as the small bud grows from the parent, it receives the same nucleus of the parent. When it pinches off from the parent, it is smaller but is genetically similar to the parent. On the other hand sexual reproduction involves two parents that contribute to the genetic material in order to produce a unique offspring. Your answer is incorrect. The correct answer is letter B.</span>

Describe at least two abiotic and two biotic factors found in this biome. (Desert Biome) How
Naddika [18.5K]

Abiotic: the sunlight and water.

Biotic: Plants and insects

Explanation:

Plants such as cactuses can absorb and conserve water in their roots and use the sunlight to grow taller

Insects such as Desert beetles can trap moisture in their thick exoskeletons so they are parched or burned by the sun. They sometimes bury themselves deep in the sand where it's cooler.

The abiotic factors in the desert help the biotic factors survive
