GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

a structure composed of several proteins that associate with the centromere region of a chromosome and that can bind to spindle microtubules

Explanation:

Kinetochores have  vvery important role in the cell division-mitosis.

During the metaphase of mitosis, spindle fibers attach to kinetochores. Some of the microtubules bind to kinetochore (kinetochore microtubules) while other don’t: they connect with the microtubules from the opposite pole, stabilizing the spindle.

During the anaphase, kinetochore microtubules pull chromosomes toward poles, helping the sister chromatids separate from each other.

The mrna codon CUU could mutate to C___ and still code for leucine, which could be a neutral mutation. What is the blank?
Lelechka [254]
A codon is a sequence of three bases found on the messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule which is translated to produce an amino acid. Each amino acid is coded by one or more specific codons. If the codon is changed through a mutation, the amino acid produced may be different. However, in this case, the other codons that produce Leucine are:

UUA, UUG, CUU, CUC, CUA and CUG

So the code CUU could mutate to CUC, CUA or CUG and leucine would still be produced.
