Which substitution mutation has the potential to cause more damage?

Biology

VikaD [51]3 years ago
5 0
<span>A substitution is a type of mutation in which there is an exchange between two bases (for example, switching A for G). Changing a base can lead to a different codon, and consequently, a change in the protein produced.
Sometimes, the mutation can be silent, meaning that the substitution didn't change the codon or the protein.
However sometimes they may change to a  "stop" codon and  because of that the protein ends incomplete. If it affects an important protein it can completely change the organism.</span>

Imagine a microbial cell that normally carries out aerobic respiration has encountered a low oxygen environment and may die if t
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

a. Oxygen performs an essential role in the mentioned microbial cell in a manner that it takes part in the procedure of glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain, which eventually assists in the production of energy from food substrates and this generation of energy helps the cell to survive.  

In the existence of oxygen, sugar gets dissociated through glycolysis to generate pyruvate, which again in the existence of oxygen is transformed into acetyl CoA. This moves into the Krebs cycle and gets dissociated to water and carbon dioxide generating ATP through ETC. This generation of ATP helps the cell to survive.  

In low oxygen surrounding or in the absence of oxygen, some of the aerobic microbes can switch their respiratory pathway and carry on the process of fermentation and anaerobic respiration to produce energy and thrive. However, the mentioned microbial cell, which when it comes in contact with the low oxygen environment cannot carry out fermentation process and would die eventually.  

b. This organism can be classified as obligate aerobes as they always need oxygen and do not possess the tendency to carry out the process of anaerobic respiration or fermentation under the absence of oxygenic environment.

The balance of nature can be upset by many reasons including natural disasters, human causes, not enough food or space or water.
Len [333]
The correct answer should be Carrying capacity

Carrying capacity is the the number of people, animals, and other life forms, that an ecosystem can sustain without starting to degrade, and all these upsets can destroy it because it can cause people and animals to migrate somewhere or they can destroy the carrying capacity of the already existing one.
