A type of muscular dystrophy, called severe childhood autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy (SCARMD), results from a mutation i

n the gene for a 50-kD muscle protein. The defective protein leads to muscle necrosis. Detailed studies of this protein have revealed that an arginine residue at position 98 has been mutated to a histadine. Why might replacing an arginine with a histadine result in a defective protein?

Answer:

The muscular dystrophy may be defined as the medical condition that leads to the weakening of the muscle and reduction in the muscle weight and loss of motor control.

The muscular dystrophy is the autosomal recessive disease. THis occur due to the mutation in the amino acids and arginine is replaced with histidine. The arginine pKa value is high whereas histidine pKa value is nearly upto 6-7. This disrupt the physiology of the proteins, disrupt its structure and result in the formation of misleading protein.

Answer:

Difference in pKa and PI values of Arginine and histadine

Explanation:

There is a huge difference between the pK values of the two amino acid groups for different groups  

For instance – for alpha CO2H group, PK value of arginine and histidine  is 2.18 and 1.78 respectively

Similarly, for NH3 group, PK value of arginine and histidine  is 9.09 and 8.97 respectively

And for R –group, PK value of arginine and histidine  is 13.2 and 5.97  respectively

Also there are difference in the isoelectronic point or isoionic point  of the two groups at a given temperature due to which the two amino acids migrate differently in an electric field.  

This give rise to a non-conservative replacement where replacement of one group by the other makes significant differences in the protein structure and function.

Which of the following is NOT a function of the hypothalamus? Which of the following is NOT a function of the hypothalamus? regu
lesya692 [45]

Answer: regulate the thalamus

Explanation:

The hypothalamus does not regulate the function of the thalamus, rather it is found below the thalamus where it helps control appetite or feeding; body temperature; the amount of water in the blood (known as osmo-regulation); and sleep rhythms.

Thus, the hypothalamus does not regulate the thalamus.

Which two statements summarize a way that an other-feeder gets food?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

B. Sphagnum moss takes in energy from sunlight.

D. Euglenas carry out photosynthesis.

Explanation:

According to the question, "a self-feeder" means an autotrophic organism i.e. an organism that produces or obtains food by itself. The process by which an autotrophic organism obtains food is referred to as PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Photosynthesis entails the synthesis of food in form of organic compounds in the presence of sunlight.

Based on this, Euglenas, which is a plant-like protist, carrying out photosynthesis and Sphagnum moss, which is a lower plant (bryophyte) taking in energy from sunlight in order to perform photosynthesis are two examples that describes a "self-feeder"
